Use a circuit construction kit AC + DC
It is a lab experiment
1. Turn on the power supply and set the AC voltage to 9 V. Measure the accurate voltage with the multimeter and record it below:
DVM
DVM
c.
Vac =
V
Step 2, 3
V
Step 4, 5
2. Connect two 0.10 F capacitors in series. Measure V (across C) and record it below.
V2 (measured) =
V
DVM
3. Compute the expected value of V using Vao, the values of C and C with equations 3 and 4. Vz (expected) = V
DVM
Step 6
Step 7
4. Connect a third 0.1 F capacitor in parallel with C2
Compute their equivalent capacitance. Ceq = F.
Measure and compute the voltage across the equivalent capacitance
Vsa (measured) =
V, V (expected) =
V
5. Now remove the third capacitor and replace it with a 0.01 uF capacitor
Compute their equivalent capacitance. Ceq = F.
Measure and compute the voltage across the equivalent capacitance
Vsa (measured) =
V, V (expected) =
V,
