| Student Manual |  An experiment has been set up for you. The arrangement is similar to what is provided in Experiment 1.6A. We have a resistor R in series with a capacitor C. The capacitor has a known capacitance. Measure it using the provided meters. A sinusoidal input of amplitude Vo, and frequency f , is applied and the voltage amplitudes across the resistor are measured at various frequencies. The inputs and outputs are through a computer equipped with a data acquisition board. |
