Lab+Report+Unit+08

Okay, here is the data analysis. I don't know who is printing, but if you need me to do it just email me tonight so I can do it. Email me though, not facebook! My phone will alert me of emails. Also, she said she wanted us to show our math so I'm going to do that on notebook paper so we can attach it tomorrow in class. - Ashley



Im not home so I will add the procedure later and then compile it all and print it out. -Courtney

Conclusion:

in this lab we have learned that for a capacitor the current leads the voltage by 90 degrees, and that the capacitance reactance is related directly with the frequency of the voltage of the circuit. for an inductor we have learned that inductive reactance is also directly related to frequency, and we have learned that the voltage leads the current by 90 degrees for an inductor in an RL circuit. our percent error is higher as our frequency increases in an Rc circuit, this is due to the fact that Xc is not approximately close to R, this was not the case in an RL circuit where XL was proportionally closer to R. for both RC and RL circuits the closer the frequency was to the respective resistance R, then the lower we found the percent error to be.
