Determination of the impedance of a coil as a function of frequency. 2. Determination of the inductance of the coil. 3. Determination of the phase displacement between the terminal voltage and total current, as a function of the frequency in the circuit. 4. Determination of the total impedance of coils connected in parallel and in series. Set-up and procedure The experimental set up is as shown in Fig. 1. Since normal voltmeters and ammeters generally measure only rms (root mean square) values and take no account of phase relationships, it is prefereable to use an oscilloscope. The experiment will be carried out with sinusoidal voltages, so that to obtain rms values, the peak-to-peak values measured on the oscilloscope (U - ) are to be divided by 222. In accordance with I = U/R, the current can be deduced by measurement of the voltage across the resistor. The circuit shown in Fig. 2 permits the simultaneous display of the total current and the coil voltage. If, by means of the time-base switch of the oscilloscope, one half-wave of the current (180 ) is brought to the full screen width (10 cm) possibly with variable sweep rate the phase displacement of the voltage can be read off directly in cm (18 /cm). The Y-positions of the two base-lines (GND) are made to coincide. After switching to other gain settings, the base-lines are readjusted. In order to achieve high reading accuracy, high gain settings are selected. The inputs to the difference amplifier are non-grounded.

LEP -01 Coil in the AC circuit Fig. 2: Circuit for display of current and voltage with the oscilloscope. Fig. 3: Impedance of various coils as a function of the frequency. To determine the impedance of a coil as a function of the frequency, the coil is connected in series with resistors of known value. The frequency is varied until there is the same voltage drop across the coil as across the resistor.
