Download RC Circuit Transients Lab Report (ENGR 262L) - Prof. Harold R. Underwood and more Lab Reports Electrical Circuit Analysis in PDF only on Docsity! Circuit Analysis Lab (ENGR 262L) Lab #8 (Exp #6 in Tsividis): RC Circuit Transients; More on Measurement Techniques Preparation: Read Background section in Tsividis (pp. 46-50) as preparation Lab Partners: You may work together with a partner at one lab station. Equipment & Components (each lab station): Digital Multimeter (DMM) [Extech model 430] Function Generator (FG) [Global Specialties PB-503 or BK Precision 4011A] Oscilloscope (scope) [BK Precision model 2522 or 2522B] with scope probes Various resistors, capacitors and SPDT switch on the Plastic component board Jumper Wires, Connecting Wires and Cables, etc. Procedure: Read and follow all steps (1-13) in Tsividis, pp. 50-52. See notes below. Lab Reports: One report per group due by the end of the lab period. Include all parts of your report as indicated below, in Lab Report Format. Lab Report Format (for Experiment #2): 2 pts Heading: Lab #, Title, Date Author’s Full Name (printed), roles Partner’s Full Name (printed), roles 2 pts Objectives: as stated in Tsividis p. 46 1 pt Diagrams: state “see Tsividis, pp. 47-51, Figures 1-6” 1 pt Equipment: state from list above; indicate model # and unit # used 2 pts Preparation: calculate Voc and R as described the Background section 8 pts Results: record any observations, tables, plots, answers to questions or other results (such as measurements and/or calculations) as indicated in each step of the procedure 4 pts Summary & Conclusions: Summarize what you learned in one paragraph, highlighting anything especially new to you and any specific conclusions you arrived at as a result of this work. Include any ideas for creative extensions you may have. Put Signatures of Author & Partner at end of report Additional notes on procedure steps: 1. Use the plastic component board and banana plug connecting wires. 2. Collect 10 data points spaced 30 seconds apart, including t = 0. 4. Same as for step 2 above. 7. Use BNC-to-BNC cable from Scope. Use BNC-to-BP adaptor to capacitor. 10. Use FG in Global Specialties PB-503 wired to BNC connector. Use BNC-to-BP adaptor to connect to the RC combination on the plastic component board. 11. Note that the 50% rise time = ln(2)   = 1.443(50% rise time) 12. Replace BNC-to-BNC cables with 2 scope probes clipped to each side of resistor.
