LRC Resonance Experiment, Xplorer GLX

LRC Resonance Experiment, Xplorer GLX

To study the resonance curve for a series LRC circuit, the Xplorer GLX Power Amplifier is used to automatically scan through the driving frequencies while simultaneously measuring the response current. The amplitude of the current is plotted versus frequency and the resonant frequency is determined. The value of the resistance is changed to see how the resonance curve changes.

Using the scope mode of the Xplorer GLX, the phase difference between the driving voltage and the resulting current is measured at low frequency, resonant frequency, and high frequency, and compared to theory.

The CI-6512 RLC Circuit Board is perfect for studying introductory AC Circuit Theory. Vary all parameters, including resistance, capacitance, and even the inductance of the coil by using the included iron core.
