Ensure that the variac is switched off and that it is fully turned anticlockwise.
Measure between the output points of the variac with your voltmeter to confirm
that there is no power on the variac
Connect the circuit as shown above. But we must place the Wattmeter across the
supply.
NB UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY THE POWER BE SWITCHED ON UNTIL A LECTURER HAS
CHECKED AND APPROVED THE CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS!
Switch on the power and increase the voltage slowly to a point where the current
flowing in the circuit is 0.7 A.
Record all the values i.e. input current, the input voltage, the voltage across the
resistor R, coil XL, True power, Capacitor bank and the resistor.
Also measure the voltage across terminal A and B, and record the value.
When measuring voltage, the voltmeter must be connected across the
circuit.
When measuring current, you must break the circuit and the current
meter must be inserted into the circuit (in series).
Data:
I = 0.6A
R = 40Ω
Int r = 24.4Ω (calculated on the last experiment)

XC = 2 π fL
= VC / IT
= 56.3 / 0.7
= 80.43Ω
XC = 1 / 2πfC
F = 1 / 2πC XC
= 49.5Hz » 50Hz
V(coil) = IT Z (coil)
= IT (r + jXL)
87.8v = 0.7 (24.4 + jXL)
XL = 101.03Ω
XL = 2πfL
L = XL / 2πf
= 101.03 / 2π(49.5)
= 0.325H
S = VS IT
= 46v x 0.7A
