Lab 2 – Wire Experiments (Wires) AUD 362P Chris Nixon September 29th, 2023 Professor deAlmeida
Equipment List: - Tape Measure - LCR Meter (Inductor, Capacitor and Resistor Meter) - Agilent Technologies InfiniiVision Digital Storage Oscilloscope 70 MHz #2002A - DI Box - Speaker Wire - Various sized cables/wires (shielded, unshielded, balanced, unbalanced) - BK Precision 5 MHz DDS Function Generator #4005DDS Objective: The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to compare and evaluate the similarities and differences between several short and long cables/wires. Initially, the students had to measure the length of each wire with a tape measure. Following that, the students measured the resistors, capacitors, and inductors with the LCR meter. This was done to ensure that they functioned properly and read accurate values. After determining the values accurate for the various components, the students measured capacitance, inductance, and cable/wire length with a function generator and an oscilloscope. Ultimately, the students were tasked with constructing two circuits: One that incorporated a capacitor and resistor and another that incorporated a capacitor and inductor. Theory: This laboratory experiment highlighted the similarities and differences between short and long cables/wires in RC and LC circuits. Initially, the students were required to construct an RC circuit comprised of a 1k Ω resistor and a capacitor. Following that, the students built an LC circuit with the identical components as the first, but this time an inductor was added. The students were aiming to test the hypothesis that different cable/wire lengths had a major impact in both RC and LC circuits. Data: Resistance of a Wire Measured Length 16 ft Calculated Length 14.5 ft Capacitance from Open Wire Parameter Measurement Calculated Capacitance 719.43 pF Measured Capacitance 501.4 pF
