RLC Circuit
Introduction
The RLC Circuit board is designed to be used with a PASCO
850 or 550 Universal Interface to study the behavior of
resistors, inductors, and capacitors in an AC circuit. The board
includes three resistors, two capacitors, an air-core inductor, a
#50 miniature screw lamp, and a bi-color LED. The included
steel rod can be used to increase the inductance of the inductor
by placing the rod inside the coil.
NOTE:
Prior to the first use, remove the bolt that secures
the inductor during shipping.
Inductor
An air core inductor with an inductance of
8.2 mH.
1
Steel Rod
For placing inside the inductor to increase the
inductance.
2
Resistors
Includes three resistors with a resistance of
100 Ω, 33 Ω, and 10 Ω.
3
Lamp
A replaceable #50 miniature screw base lamp.
4
LED
A bi-color LED in series with a 150 Ω resistor.
The illuminated color is dependent on the
polarity of the connection.
5
Capacitors
Includes two electrolytic capacitors with a
capacitance of 330 µF and 100 µF.
