LABORATORY POLICIES AND REPORT FORMAT:
1. Lab reports should be submitted on A4 paper. Your report is a professional presentation of

your work in the lab. Neatness, organization, and completeness will be rewarded. Points will be
deducted for any part that is not clear.
2. The lab reports will be written individually. Please use the following format for your lab reports.
a. Cover Page: Include your name, Subject Code, Subject title, Name of the
university.
b. Evaluation Sheet: Gives your internal mark split –up.
c. Index Sheet: Includes the name of all the experiments.
d. Experiment documentation: It includes experiment name, date, objective,
circuit diagram, theoretical values wherever applicable and verified outputs.
e. Prelab and Post lab question should be retyped at the end of every cycle.
3. Your work must be original and prepared independently. However, if you need any guidance or
have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to approach your staff in charge during
office hours. The students should follow the dress code in the Lab session.
4. Labs will be graded as per the following grading policy:
 Prelab Test - 5
 In lab Performance - 35
 Post lab Test - 5 Observation - 30%
 Attendance - 5

 Model Exam - 20%
 Final Exam - 40%
 Total - 100%
5. Reports Due Dates: Reports are due one week after completion of the corresponding lab. A late lab
report will have 20% of the points deducted for being one day late. If a report is 2 days late, a grade of
0 will be assigned.
6. Systems of Tests: Regular laboratory class work over the full semester will carry a weight age of
75%. The remaining 25% weightage will be given by conducting an end semester practical
examination for every individual student if possible or by conducting a 1 to 1 ½ hours duration
common written test for all students, based on all the experiment carried out in the semester.
Pre lab test is conducted at the beginning of each experiment as a written test and the post lab test
is conducted as viva-voce during the submission of observation copy. The Staff in charge will ask
pertinent questions to individual members of a team at random.

Theory
In this experiment, we apply a pulse waveform to the RL or RC circuit to analyze

the transient response of the circuit. The pulse-width relative to a circuit’s time constant
determines how it is affected by an RC or RL circuit.
Time Constant (τ): A measure of time required for certain changes in voltages and
currents in RC and RL circuits. Generally, when the elapsed time exceeds five time
constants (5τ) after switching has occurred, the currents and voltages have reached their
final value, which is also called steady-state response.
The time constant of an RC circuit is the product of equivalent capacitance and
the Thévenin resistance as viewed from the terminals of the equivalent capacitor.
τ = RC
A Pulse is a voltage or current that changes from one level to the other and back
again. If a waveform’s hight time equals its low time, as in figure, it is called a square
wave. The length of each cycle of a pulse train is termed its period (T). The pulse width
(tp) of an ideal square wave is equal to half the time period.
Procedure for RL:
1. Make the connections as per the circuit diagram.

2. Choose square wave mode in signal generator
3. Using CRO, adjust the amplitude to be 2 volts peak to peak.
4. Take care of the precaution and set the input frequency.
5. Observe and plot the output waveform.
6. Calculate the time required by the output to reach 0.632 times the final value
(peak).
7. This value gives the practical time constant. Tabulate the theoretical and practical
values.
78
Model Calculation:
79
Result:
Thus the transient waveform is obtained for a series RL and RC circuit and the
time constant is computed practically and theoretically. The theoretical and practical time
constants are given by:
Theoretical Time Constant =
Practical Time Constant =
80
POST LAB QUESTIONS
1) Why is it necessary to discharge the capacitor every time you want to record another
transient voltage across the capacitor?
2) If the capacitor remains charged, what would you expect to see across the capacitor
when you re-close the switch to try to record another transient?
3) What does the derivative of a step function look like?
4) What does the integral of a step function look like?
