5l10.10 Inductive Reactance

PURPOSE: To show the L/R time constant of an inductive circuit and that the voltage leads the current by 90 degrees.

DESCRIPTION: An LR circuit is driven by a sine wave from the function generator and the voltage and current are shown on the oscilloscope.

EQUIPMENT: LR circuit, function generator, reversing switch, oscilloscope.

SETUP NOTES: None.
