A capacitor is connected in a circuit with a variable-frequency voltage source. The impedance and phase displacement are determined as a function of frequency and of capacitance. Parallel and series impedances are measured.
Benefits
Intuitive, touch-optimized software that controls all devices simultaneously
Simplified implementation: all pre-settings already prepared
Easy frequency setting thanks to digital function generator
Fast and easy experimenting simply by switching components
Impedance will be computed in real-time
Further experiments in electricity and electronics can be performed with the equipment
Tasks
Determination of the impedance of a capacitor as a function of frequency.
Determination of the phase displacement between the terminal voltage and total current as a function of the frequency in the circuit.
Determination of the total impedance of capacitors connected in parallel and in series.
