Experiment No. 3 RESISTOR IN AC CIRCUIT 1. Objective(s): The activity aims to investigate the voltage and current relationship in a resistive circuit with AC applied. This also aims to investigate the effect of frequency 2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs): The students shall be able to: 2.1 Measure ac voltage and current in an AC circuit using multitester. 2.2 Measure and observe ac voltages using an oscilloscope. 2.3 Verify the phase relationship between voltage and current in a resistive circuit. 2.4 Determine the effect of frequency on the resistance. 3. Discussion: When time-varying ac voltages such as the sine wave are applied to resistive circuits, the circuit laws still apply. Ohms law applies to resistive ac circuits in the same way that it applies to dc circuits. If a sine wave voltage is applied across a resistor, a sine wave current flows. The current is zero when the voltage is zero and is maximum when the voltage is maximum. When the voltage changes polarity, the current reverses direction. As a result, the voltage and current are said to be in phase with each other. Kirchhoffs voltage and current laws apply to ac circuits as well as to dc circuits. 4. Resources: Feedback AC and DC Basics 12-301 5. Procedure: 1. Connect 4-V (rms) ac source across the series resistors as shown.

Connect channel 1 of the oscilloscope across points 1 and 2 (i.e. across the 470- resistor) and channel 2 to the 10- resistor. 4. Draw the corresponding waveforms, the voltage across the 470- and the voltage across the 10- resistor. Assuming that the voltage across the 10- resistor is the current, determine the phase relationship between voltage and current in a resistive circuit
