    This document describes an experiment on single-phase AC circuits with resistive loads. The objectives are to study AC circuits experimentally. Components include an AC supply, variable and constant resistors, an oscilloscope, and voltmeters. Procedures involve connecting the circuit, adjusting resistor values, measuring voltages, calculating RMS values, and comparing results. Voltage measurements are taken across the supply and resistor at different resistor values. RMS values are calculated and compared to measured values, with percent errors reported between 2-8% for resistor voltages and 0.2-0.3% for supply voltages.

    EXPERIMENT 11
    SINGLE PHASE AC CIRCUIT WITH RESISTIVE LOAD

    Objective
    The objective of this experiment is to study experimentally single phase ac
    circuits including resistive load only.

    Components and apparatus


    a. AC supply
    b. Constant resistance and variable resistance
    c. Oscilloscope
    d. Two voltmeters

    Procedure steps:
    1. Connect the circuit as shown in the figure with R1max = 1 kΩ and R2 =
    330 Ω
    2. Connect two voltmeters across the supply and across R1
    3. Adjust the values of R1 to 150 Ω
    4. Record the maximum values of V1 and V using the waveforms on the
    oscilloscope
    5. Calculate the rms values of V1 and V (Remember: Vrms = Vmax / √2
    6. Record the rms values of V1 and V using the voltmeters
    7. Compare the results in steps 5 and 6
    8. Adjust the values of R1 to 300 Ω , 600 Ω , and 900 Ω and then repeat
    steps 4-7
