cs-2 Lab 2

This lab experiment aims to examine capacitive reactance and its relationship to capacitance and frequency. The capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to frequency and can be calculated using the capacitance value and frequency. The experiment involves building a circuit with a function generator, oscilloscope, resistor and capacitor. Capacitive reactance is measured experimentally at different frequencies and the results are recorded in tables. The data is then plotted on a graph of capacitive reactance versus frequency to observe the inverse relationship.

Capacitive Reactance:

Objective
Capacitive reactance will be examined in this exercise. In particular, its relationship to capacitance and
frequency will be investigated, including a plot of capacitive reactance versus frequency.
Theory Overview
The current – voltage characteristic of a capacitor is unlike that of typical resistors. While resistors show
a constant resistance value over a wide range of frequencies, the equivalent ohmic value for a capacitor,
known as capacitive reactance, is inversely proportional to frequency. The capacitive reactance may be
computed via the formula:
The magnitude of capacitive reactance may be determined experimentally by feeding a capacitor a
known current, measuring the resulting voltage, and dividing the two, following Ohm’s Law. This process
may be repeated across a range of frequencies in order to obtain a plot of capacitive reactance versus
frequency. An AC current source may be approximated by placing a large resistance in series with an AC
voltage, the resistance being considerably larger than the maximum reactance expected.

Figure 1
Procedure
Current Source
1. Using Figure 1 with Vin=10Vp-p and R=10kΩ, and assuming that the reactance of the capacitor is much
smaller than 10k and can be ignored, determine the circulating current using measured component
values and record in Table 1.
Measuring Reactance
2. Build the circuit of Figure 1 using R=10kΩ, and C=1 μF. Place one probe across the generator and
another across the capacitor. Set the generator to a 200 Hz sine wave and 10Vp-p. Make sure that the
Bandwidth Limit of the oscilloscope is engaged for both channels. This will reduce the signal noise and
make for more accurate readings.
3. Calculate the theoretical value of Xc using the measured capacitor value and record in Table 2.
4. Record the peak-to-peak capacitor voltage and record in Table 2.
5. Using the source current from Table 1 and the measured capacitor voltage, determine the
experimental reactance and record it in Table 2. Also compute and record the deviation.
6. Repeat steps three through five for the remaining frequencies of Table 2.
7. Replace the 1 μF capacitor with the 2.2 μF unit and repeat steps two through six, recording results in
Table 3.
8. Using the data of Tables 2 and 3, create plots of capacitive reactance versus frequency.
