No. 6 CIRCUIT

I. OBJECTIVES
1. To verify Ohm’s Law for series AC circuit.
2. To determine the behavior of combined elements i.e. RL, RC, RLC
series in an AC circuit.
3. To make a comparison between the calculated values with measured
values.
4. To know the phase angle between current and voltage using vector
diagram impedance triangle as a tool.

II. THEORY

Impedance of an AC circuits is a vector quantity i.e. it has both magnitude and


direction which can be resolved into a horizontal (real) and vertical (imaginary)
components. Thus it can be plotted on a certain coordinate using the real axis for
the resistance and imaginary axis for either inductive or capacitive reactance.
