    Beginning Time T Time To Half Value of V: Theoretical

    Uploaded by

    Ali Amir Shreif
    This document contains the analysis of RC and RL circuits. For the RC circuit, the experimentally determined time constant τexp of 0.029 s was found to be accurate and within the theoretical value of 0.033 s. For the RL circuit, τexp of 0.00055 s was also accurate and within the theoretical value of 0.00053 s. When an iron core was added to the inductor, the inductance increased by approximately 4 times to 33.945 mH due to the iron core concentrating magnetic flux. Kirchhoff's loop rule was also verified to hold at different times by comparing the sum of voltages across circuit elements to the source voltage.

    After four RC times, to what percentage of the maximum charge is the capacitor charged?
    q = qmax (1 e-t/RC)
    At t = 4 RC:
    q = qmax (1 e-4RC/RC)
    = qmax (1 e-4)
    = 0.9817 Qmax
    After four RC times, the capacitor is charged to 98.17 % of the maximum charge.

    Does Kirchhoffs Loop Rule hold at all times? Use the graphs to check it for at least three
    different times: Does the sum of the voltages across the resistor and the inductor equal the
    source voltage at any given time?
    VL or VC
    3.984
    1.504
    0.352

    VR

    -1.509
    -0.352

    Vgenerator
    4.004
    0.005
    0.008

    To prove if Kirchhoffs loop holds at all time we should compare VL + VR are equal to Vgenerator.
    When comparing the values we find that VL + VR are approximately equal to Vgenerator at all 3 points.
    Therefore Kirchhoffs loop holds at any given time.
