The measured results and the calculated results were very close
to each other and thus the lab exercise was a success. The small
deviation was due to the resistor and the inductor tolerances.
Conclusion
The lab was a good practice in the study of R-L circuits. The
voltage across an inductor was found to lead the voltage by an
angle of 90°. The leading angle in R-L circuit is however less
than 90° and it depends on the frequency of the source signal
and the values of the resistor and inductor.

Single frequency AC analysis is to be done on the circuit for
frequencies (100Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz, 1500Hz, 10000Hz and
20000Hz). From the single frequency AC analysis the following
is to be determined:

3. The previous step was repeated for different frequencies
12. (100Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz, 1500Hz, 10000Hz and 2000Hz).

The measured values and the calculated values for various
frequencies were close to each other.
Answers to questions:
a. Describe the relationship between the frequency and IT.
An increase in frequency decreases the capacitive reactance of
the capacitor. The overall is an increase in the current flowing
through the circuit.
b. What effect does frequency have on Zeq?
14. An increase in frequency results in results in a decrease in the
capacitive reactance of the circuit. The overall effect is a
decrease in the equivalent impedance Zeq.
c. How could the circuit be modified to bring the phase angle
closer to 0○?
Increasing the frequency of the source signal and connecting a
resistor in series with the capacitor.
d. How could the circuit be modified to bring the phase angle
closer to -90○?
Decreasing the frequency of the source signal and connecting a
capacitor in series with the resistor.
Conclusion
The lab exercise was a good insight in the study of the
capacitive reactance of a capacitor. The current in a capacitor
leads the voltage by an angle of 90°. The voltage lags behind
the current by an angle 90°.
The overall lag angle in the circuit is less than 90°. The
measured results and the calculated results deviated from each
other slightly. This could be because of the capacitor and the
resistor tolerances.
