PHYSICS 201 FALL 99 LAB 6 Part 1. RC Circuits in Electronics Workbench. Build the circuit shown below in Electronics Workbench. The item near the word “space” in blue is a switch, and it is found under the Basic button (same place as a resistor). The red box with the sine wave is an oscilloscope, and it is found under the Instruments buttons on the right (same place as a multimeter). The oscilloscope serves the same function that the voltage sensor connected to the Science Workshop interface did on the previous lab with capacitors. Activate the simulation and then press the space bar to flip the switch. On the oscilloscope screen you should seen the voltage rising and eventually saturating as the capacitor is charged up. Then press the space bar to flip the switch again and the capacitor should begin to discharge. When the reading nears zero, deactivate the simulation. Click the expand button on the oscilloscope. Use the scroll bar to slide over to the charging data. You can drag the red line with a 1 inside a triangle, the box on the left will then display the time T1 and the voltages at the terminals of the oscilloscope, VA1 and VB1. Read off six times and the corresponding voltage across the capacitor readings and enter them into the table below. Make your best guess as to what voltages should be theoretically, explain your reasoning, and enter the values into the theory column. Time Charging a Capacitor Voltage Voltage (theory) Next, scroll over to the discharging data and repeat. Read off six times and the corresponding voltage across the capacitor readings and enter them into the table below. Make your best guess as to what voltages should be theoretically, explain your reasoning, and enter the values into the theory column. Time Discharging a Capacitor Voltage Voltage (theory) Part 2. Measuring the resistance of a diode in both directions. In a resistor both terminals are equivalent, thus, it doesn’t matter if the resistor leads are switched, the resistor still has exactly the same effect on the circuit. In a diode, the terminals are distinct. One is referred to as the anode and the other as the cathode. In one convention, a colored band identifies the cathode. Using the (real) Simpson multimeter as an ohmmeter measure the resistance of the resistor and the two diodes. You should measure the resistance twice, once with the red lead on the anode side and once with the black lead on anode side. (For the resistor, use the tolerance band to indicate which direction you are measuring.) Enter the values you observe below. Measured resistance Red lead on anode Black with gray band Cooper with black band Resistor Measured resistance Black lead on anode Part 3. IV curve of a diode using Electronics Workbench. Using Electronics Workbench, construct the circuit below. Note that a diode (found under the diode button, next to the basic (resistor) button) is represented as an arrow and a vertical line. The arrow is on the anode side, and the cathode is on the vertical line side. Set the internal voltmeter resistance to 1000 M and the internal resistance of the ammeter to 1 n, so that the meters are very nearly ideal. Under the Models tab under Component Properties for the diode, choose national 1N3064. Vary the battery voltage from 0.0 t0 1.0V, and record the voltage across the diode and the current through the diode. Then use Excel to plot the current through the diode versus the voltage across the diode. Voltage across battery 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 Voltage across diode (in V) Current through diode (in mA) Recall that the slope of a Current versus Voltage is the reciprocal of the resistance (1/R). First, it should be noted that the slope is not constant. Thus we say that the diode is a nonlinear device. We might also say it is “non-ohmic”. Use the two points with the lowest voltage above to estimate the low-voltage resistance. The use the two points with the highest to estimate the high-voltage resistance. Average of two voltages used Resistance Low High Part 4. Rectification The current coming out of the wall socket is AC (alternating current), and a number of devices require DC current. A rectifier changes AC into DC. The circuit below is called a half-wave rectifier. The red box on the left is a function generator (found under Instruments). It will serve as an alternating voltage supply. First build the circuit above without the diode. Run a simulation and place a copy of the expanded oscilloscope screen below. Then insert the diode into the circuit and repeat. Finally build the circuit below, simulate it, and place a copy of its oscilloscope screen below. This circuit is known as a full-wave bridge rectifier. Explain the path taken by the current when the voltage is positive and when it is negative.
