ANALYSIS
1. From your measurements in procedures 2 through 4,
determine C and L by using the measured value of the
time constant τ in each case. (Do not forget the resistance in
the inductor). Enter the results in cells E55 and E57.
2. Using the values of L and C obtained above, calculate the resonant frequency of the LCR circuit using
3. Plot VR (y-axis) vs. f (x-axis) for Procedure step 9. From the graph, determine the best value of the resonant frequency and enter the result in cell E61.
4. Compare the resonant frequency with that calculated from L and C and with the observed LC oscillation frequency. Compute the percentage difference and enter in cell E63.
5. Answer Question 1 on the Worksheet and turn
in as part of your report.
