1. Lab #8 – Inductors/Capacitors Activity #1 – Build a Capacitor Activity #2 – Build an Inductor Activity #3 – Integrate and differentiate common waveforms Activity #4 – Simulate circuits with capacitors –Relationship between current and voltage –Phase relationship

2. Tips Activities #1 and #2 requires the use of the RLC meter, so the North half of the lab should start with activities #3 and #4 while the South half does Activities #1 and #2 You will need to be creative and Google some information to find the width of a sheet of paper, its dielectric and other parameters. Watch your units, so you come out with good values.

3. Tips In activity #3, you will need to label the y-axis with appropriate numbers and units In activity #4, you will be using a simulated oscilloscope. This instrument takes a picture of the voltage waveform as it changes over time In activity #4, an easy way to measure current using an oscilloscope is to add a series resistor, measure the voltage and then divide by the resistance to get the current
