    This experiment examines the behavior of resistors, inductors, and capacitors in AC circuits. Measurements are taken of the voltage and current across each component in a circuit with both a DC and AC voltage source. The results show that in DC circuits, the resistance and current through components remains constant regardless of voltage or frequency. However, in AC circuits the resistance depends on frequency, the inductor current lags behind voltage, and the capacitor current leads voltage. Understanding these differences is important for analyzing electrical circuits.

    Experiment No 1

    Subject:
    AC Resistance

    Name:

    Number:
    The purpose of experiment:
    AC circuit experiments enable understanding the behavior of capacitors
    and inductors in AC circuits, calculating current and voltage in them, and
    designing AC circuits efficiently.

    Materials Required:
     AC voltage source.
     Resistance.
     Capacitor.
     Coil.

    Connect the fixed voltage source to the resistor, then connect it to the
    coil and the capacitor, then take voltage and current readings from each
    component in the circuit.
    Change the fixed voltage source to a variable voltage source, take the
    readings again, and then record them in the table
    Connect the circuit as in the following figure:
    Study:
    We study electrical circuits in both direct current (DC) and alternating
    current (AC) for a number of reasons, including:
     To understand how alternating current (AC) devices work, such as
    radios, televisions, and electric motors.
     To design AC circuits efficiently.
     To understand the characteristics of different electrical.
    Resistance in DC and AC:
    In direct current (DC) circuits, the current through the resistor remains
    constant regardless of the voltage or frequency.
    In alternating current (AC) circuits, the equivalent resistance depends on
    the frequency of the current, changing with an increase in frequency.

    Inductor in DC and AC:


    In DC, the current through the inductor remains constant regardless of
    the voltage or frequency.
    In AC, the current lags behind the voltage by a period called the lag
    period, and this period increases with an increase in frequency.

    Capacitor in DC and AC:


    In DC, the voltage across the capacitor remains constant regardless of
    the current or frequency.
    In AC, the current through the capacitor leads the voltage by a period
    called the lead period, and this period increases with an increase in
    frequency.

    Capacitor 20.57 0 25.5 0.13 196.23

    Conclusion:
    This experiment demonstrates the differences in the behavior of the
    basic components in electrical circuits between direct current (DC) and
    alternating current (AC). In DC, the resistance current remains constant,
    while in AC it depends on the frequency of the current. For a coil, the
    current remains constant in DC, while in AC it is delayed by a period
    called the lag period. As for the capacitor, the voltage remains constant
    in DC, while the current leads ahead of the voltage in AC by a period
    called the lead period. Understanding these differences in behavior
    makes it possible to understand and analyze the effect of frequency on
    the interaction of components in electrical circuits.
