Lab 12 - AC Signals

AC Signals

Objective:

In-Class Demonstration by Prof. Mason to display what AC signals look like and how to retrieve data from them.

Process:

1. Problem - Find unknown capacitance given current, frequency, and voltage.

2. Data Display

Sinusoidal Wave

Same wave at a higher frequency

3. Data Collected and Analyzed

Conclusion:

Information was able to be obtained from the graph displays of signal with the guidance of Prof. Mason. With given frequencies and concurrent voltage the capacitor value was able to be calculated to the amount of 2.88 microfarads. Actual capacitor value was not noted for comparison.
