    c. evaluate results by comparing measured and calculated values.

    5A.3 Objectives of the Activity


    The objectives of this activity are to:
    1. determine the characteristics of series RL circuits using calculated and measured
    values.

    2. verify the results with the oscilloscope.

    5A.4 Principle of the Activity

    Many RL circuits contain multiple resistors and inductors that are in series. The total
    inductive reactance of a circuit is determined in much the same way as total circuit
    resistance. When inductors are in series, the total inductive reactance (XLT) is the sum of
    the individual reactances.
    XLT = XL1 + XL2 + XL3 + …
    The total inductive reactance increases as the number of inductors in series
    increases. The result is lower circuit and higher circuit impedance. As in circuits with
    resistors only, the current flowing through each component in a series RL circuit is the
    same. Figure 2.1-1 shows a series RL circuit.

    ACTIVITY 5.1: IMPEDANCE OF RL CIRCUITS


    Figure 2.1-1
    Circuit impedance (Z) is the square root of the sum of the squares of the total
    resistance (RT) and the total inductive resistance (XLT). For the circuit in Figure 2.1-1, Z is
    determined as follows.
    RT = R1 + R2 + R3 XLT = XL1 + XL2
    RT = 1,000 + 200 + 500 XLT = 1,000 + 1500
    RT = 1, 700 Ω XLT = 2, 500 Ω

    Z= √(𝑅 𝑇2 + 𝑋𝐿𝑇 2 )
    Z= √(17002 + 25002 )
    Z= √(9, 140, 000)
    Z= 3, 023 Ω

    To applied voltage (Vac), Z, and Ohm’s law is then used to determine the circuit current.
    I-T = V-ac/Z
    I-T = 8/3023
    I-T = 0.00265 mApk-pk (2.65 mApk-pk)

    Voltage drops across individual components are determined from the circuit current,
    Ohm’s law, and the resistance or reactance of the individual component. For example, the
    voltage drop across L1 (VL1) in Figure 2.1-1 is as shown.

    VL1 = I x XL1
    VL1 = 0.00265 x 1000
    VL1 = 2.65 Vpk-pk

    In circuits with resistors only, the sum of the voltage drop across each resistor equals the
    applied voltage. In RL circuits, however, the applied voltage does not equal the sum of the
    voltage drops, but the square root of the sum of the squares of the voltage drops. For the
    circuit in Figure 2.1-1, Vac is determined by the following formula.

    Vac = √(𝑉𝑅𝑇 2 + 𝑉𝑋𝐿𝑇 2 )𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑠

    Figure 2.1-2 shows this relationship in a phasor diagram. If the voltage drops in the circuit
    in Figure 2.1-1 were added together, the sum would be greater than the applied voltage
    (Vac).

    5A.7 Procedure/s
    1. Turn off the power sources. Insert the AC 1 FUNDAMENTALS circuit board into the
    base unit. Install the GENRATOR BUFFER if required. Turn on the power sources.
    2. On the INDUCTANCE/ INDUCTIVE REACTANCE circuit block, connect the circuit
    shown in Figure 2.1-3. Adjust the VGEN for a 10Vpk-pk, 1 kHz sine wave. What type of
    circuit is shown in Figure 2.1-3? ___________________________.
    3. Measure the voltage drops across R1 (VR1) and L3 (VL3) by using your oscilloscope
    Record your results in Table 2.1-1.
    NOTE: Use the ADD-INVERT method to measure the voltage drop across R1
    VR1 VL1 VGEN VR1 + VL
    √(V𝑅1 2 + VR1 + VL3 2 )

    Table 2.1-1
    4. Add VR1 and VL1’ and record your results in Table 2.1-1. Does the sum of the voltage
    drops equal the amplitude of the applied voltage (VGEN = VR1 and VL1)? ______________

    5. Determine the square root of the sum of the squares of VR1 and VL3. Record your result
    in table 2.1-3. Does this result equal the applied voltage of VR1 and VL3 ? _____________

    𝑉𝑔𝑒𝑛 = √(V𝑅1 2 + VR1 + VL3 2 )

    NOTE: Your result will not be exact. It will differ slightly due to the resistance of L3 and
    typical measurement errors. _______________________________________________.

    6. Measure circuit current by using current-sensing resistor R2. Record your result in the
    Table 2.1-2. (Be sure to remove the two post connectors shorting R2 only when taking-the
    current measurement. Replace the two-post connector after measurement.) __________
