Experiment #1

We used this board apparatus today, it was already set up for us. there are resistors, capacitors and a solenoid attached to it along with posts for our equipment. We connected these to a function generator and used the voltage probe to record voltage and current.

I vs V:

Our frequency 20 Hz. When we used higher frequencies, we got closer data to that of our theoretical calculations.

Experiment #1 Inductance

We used a solenoid, an oscilloscope and a function generator with a resistor to observe the graph and played with the settings until it matched the graph we had observed last week.

The graph is behaves like an exponential function. There is a period of charging and a period of discharging, and this is our comparison to that cycle when talking about capacitors. 

We calculated the inductance, L.
