OBJECTIVES:
1. To become familiar with phasor diagrams.
2. To become acquainted with series RC and RL circuits.
II.
DISCUSSION
Ohms law applies to all types of circuits, but in the case of AC circuits all
currents, voltages, reactances, resistances and impedances must be
expressed s phasors. All calculations must be done vectorically with
reference to a phasor diagram. All phasor diagrams should be
accompanied by a circuit diagram. If its is not done, then such a circuit
diagram must be obvious or assumed in order to interpret the phasor
diagram. The phasor diagram shows only magnitude and relative phase
angles of the currents and voltages, while the circuit diagrams shows only
the location, direction and polarity of the currents and voltages. These are
important distinctions and confusion generally results when not recognized
or when the two diagrams are combined.

IV. PROCEDURE:
RC circuit:
1. Connect the circuit shown in Fig. 11.3
2. Record the current and voltages eR and eC.
3. Using Ohms law, compute the magnitude of the impedance of the
network. Record it as the measured value.
4. Compute the magnitude and phase angle of the impedance using the
equation Z = R-jXc where Xc = 1/2fC
5. Compute the percent difference between the measured and computed
value of the impedance.

PROBLEMS:
1. A circuit contains a fixed resistor in series with a variable capacitor. Plot a
curve to show the variation of the impedance with the capacitive reactance
as the capacitance is varied from zero to an infinitely large value.
