EXPERIMENT 1
TITLE : RESISTIVE AC CIRCUIT

OBJECTIVE : At the end of the experiment, students will be able to:

DET 2033/LAB1
 (i) Identify common parts of a bench power supply unit.
(ii) Use the bench power supply unit competently.
(iii) Connect series resistive circuit.
(iv) Measure the ac current, voltage and power of the circuit

APPARATUS:
(i) Italtec Bench Power Supply Code 3000
(ii) Multimeter
(iii) Ammeter
(iv) Voltmeter
(v) Decade resistor or rheostat

THEORY/BACKGROUND :

AC Power Supply

Alternating Current (AC) flows one way, then the other way, continually reversing direction. An
AC voltage is continually changing between positive (+) and negative (-). The rate of changing
direction is called frequency of the AC and it is measured in Hertz (Hz) which is the number of
forwards-backwards cycles per second. An AC supply is suitable for powering some devices
such as lamps and heaters

Measuring the waveforms

using oscilloscope :

Diagram 1 : Sine wave

In a laboratory, a bench power supply offers AC supply and the unit is equipped with single-
phase, three-phase and direct current supply. Possibility of voltage variation for all needs,
complete set of tools for measuring, extensive safety equipment.

Pure Resistive Series Circuit

Diagram 3 : Resistive series circuit

In a pure resistive circuit, the current is in phase with the supply voltage. By applying Ohms law
we find that :
Total current It = Vs/Rt ampere (where Rt = R1 + R2)
Voltage across R1, V1 = It x R1 volt
Voltage across R2, V2 = It x R2 volt
Supply voltage or Total voltage = (V1 + V2) volt
Total power dissipation W = ItVs watt

PROCEDURE :
DET 2033/LAB1
 1. Refer to diagram 5 and table 1, the control panel of the bench power supply. Locate point
1 13.
2. Steps to set the ac voltage : eg. 40V
i. Push up point no. 2
ii. On the security key switch and push up point no. 12
iii. Use point no. 4 to get the output. The voltage can be varied by adjusting a
regulator by the side of the bench. Attached a multimeter or a voltmeter at
point no. 4 to get specific value.

PART B
PROCEDURE :

1. Calculate the value of I1, I2, IT, V1, V2 and VT theoretically. Record in table 1.
2. Check the decade resistance boxes and the multimeter. Make sure they are in a good
condition. Set the value according to Diagram 3.
3. Connect the circuit as shown in Diagram 3.
4. Set the supply voltage to 12V.
5. Record the value of I1, I2, IT, V1, V2 and VT in table 1.
