In this laboratory experiment, I conducted a comprehensive study of alternating current (AC) circuits, focusing on understanding the role and behavior of capacitors and inductors across varying frequencies. The primary objective was to explore the frequency response of AC circuits by observing changes in the amplitude and phase of the voltage across various components as the input frequency was varied. This study was crucial for grasping the dynamic interactions within AC circuits, which are fundamental to applications in signal processing, filtering, and power regulation.
Due to time constraints in the physical lab setting, I extensively utilized Multisim, a circuit simulation software, to complement the hands-on experiments. This approach allowed for a thorough investigation and analysis of the AC circuits, ensuring a deeper understanding of the theoretical concepts and their practical applications.
By systematically varying the frequency of the input signal and analyzing the resulting changes in the circuit, I aimed to enhance my theoretical knowledge and practical skills in measuring and analyzing sinusoidal waveforms. This lab reinforced the importance of precise measurements and the use of advanced instrumentation in the study of AC circuits, preparing me for future tasks in electrical engineering.
