Abstract

5J10.10

inductor assortment

pira500

Sample inductors are shown.

5J10.20

back EMF - light bulb

pira500

Open the switch of a large electromagnet with a lamp in parallel.

5J10.21

back EMF

A 4.5 V battery lights a neon bulb when the current to an inductor is disrupted.

5J10.22

neon back EMF

The coils of a electromagnet are connected in parallel with a neon bulb.

5J10.23

neon self induction

A neon lamp across an inductor will glow on one side during charging and will flash on the other when the current is interrupted.

5J10.25

inductance and the wheatstone bridge

The galvanometer in a Wheatstone bridge is connected after an inductor has reach steady state or at the same time the current is started in the inductor.

5J10.26

simulating ideal self-induction

A nulling circuit compensates for the steady state current in a coil.

5J10.30

back EMF spark

pira1000

A one inch spark is produced when the switch of a large electromagnet is opened.

5J10.32

electromagnetic inertia

A spark will jump across an almost closed loop of wire rather than go around when attached to a Leyden jar.

Abstract

5J20.10

LR time constant on scope

pira200

The current and voltage of an slow time constant LR circuit are displayed on a dual trace storage oscilloscope.

5J20.11

time constant of an inductive cir.

Compare the time constant of an inductor using different cores on an oscilloscope.

5J20.20

lamps in series or parallel with inductor

pira200

Lamps are used to indicate voltage across and current through a large electromagnet. If possible, do this with the iron core in and then removed.

5J20.21

lights in series and parallel

A circuit with a 5 H inductor has neon lamps in series and in parallel.

5J20.25

inductor characteristics

A bulb in parallel with a coil does not burn when powered by dc, but does when coupled to a high frequency source.

5J20.30

LR time constant

Substitute a inductor and resistor of the same R in a circuit that lights a neon bulb.

5J30. RLC Circuits-DC

PIRA #

Demonstration Name

Abstract

5J30.10

RLC ringing

The voltages across the L and C of a slow RLC circuit are displayed on a dual trace storage oscilloscope while the circuit is energized and de energized.

5J30.11

damped LRC oscillation

Discharge a capacitor through a series LRC circuit. Vary the capacitance and resistance.

5J30.15

RLC ringing

A motor driven commutator switches a circuit from charging to discharging so RLC ringing decay can be observed on an oscilloscope. Picture, Diagram, Construction details in appendix, p.1334.

5J30.20

RLC ringing

A DC circuit with RC charging and RLC discharging.

5J30.21

RLC ringing

A circuit to charge a capacitor either with or without an inductance in series.

5J30.30

singing arc

A ordinary carbon arc is shunted by a series LC circuit.
