Lab_Report_12.pdfAC & DC Analysis and Measurement
The methodologies for measuring DC and AC currents di er from each other. The constant methods for DC analysis do not work for AC current, and the steady state methods for AC do not work on DC currents. When a circuit that involves both AC and DC circuits, the principal of superposition must be applied in order to fully analyze what is happening with both the AC and DC sources. To do this, measurements are taken while only one source is active and compared to the measurements obtained from a fully functioning circuit.
Lab_Report_1.pdfDC Analysis in Multisim
The objective of this lab is to familiarize the student MultiSim simulation tool and introduce them to using computer simulation for direct current circuit analysis.
Lab_Report_2.pdfElectrical Measurements
The objective of this lab is to familiarize the student with Lab equipment that will be utilized in the Lab
for the rest of the semester. This equipment includes the NI ELVIS board, multimeter, resistors, and jumper
wires.
Electrical Measurements Cont.
The objective of this lab is to further familiarize the student with Lab equipment and DC measurement techniques that will be essential to their future success. Specically, the student will practice taking measurements on more advanced circuits.
Lab_Report_3.pdfThevenin Equivalent Circuits
The objective of this lab is to experimentally determine the Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits for linear circuits.
Lab_Report_6.pdfLab_Report_7.pdfFirst Order Transient Circuits
The objective of this lab is to demonstrate and teach proper usage of an
oscilloscope. Additionally, the oscilloscope will be used to experimentally determine the time constant of first order circuits and relate the mathematical solutions to experimental values.
Lab_Report_11.pdfAlternating Current Power
This lab uses measurements from an oscilloscope to reinforce
critical AC principles like the effect that inductors and capacitors have on the phase angle for voltage and current.
