Experiment Eo-11

LR Time Constant


Description: A 1.5 volt source, a resistor and an inductor are connected in a circuit with a special switch to prevent sparking. The time constant is observed both on energizing and de-energizing the circuit. The voltages across the resistor and the inductor are observed with a dual trace oscilloscope.

 

Schematic for experimental setup.

 

 

 

Materials: 1.5 volt power source, resistor, inductor, oscilloscope, wire, switch
