AC Circuits

5L20.10 Phase in AC Circuit
Use: Hook up 2 channel oscilloscope to show that voltage across capacitor or coil is not in phase with total voltage or to show that current and total voltage not in phase.

 
Setup: Assembled as needed. One day advance notice needed.
Equations: Phase angle between total voltage and current depends on resistance, capacitance and inductance
Safety Issues: None
