    PRE-LAB WORK

    Answer the following questions.

    1. What is signal generator?

    A signal generator is an electronic test instrument that produces electrical signals


    with set properties of amplitude, frequency, and wave shape. These generated
    signals are used as a stimulus for electronic measurements, typically used in
    designing, testing, troubleshooting, and repairing electronic or electroacoustic
    devices, though it often has artistic uses as well. There are many different types of
    signal generators with different purposes and applications and at varying levels of
    expense.

    2. How does the capacitor and inductor behave in DC circuit?

    In a DC circuit, the current through a capacitor is initially zero, and then gradually
    increases to a constant value. The voltage across a capacitor is equal to the source
    voltage, but it takes time for the capacitor to charge up. However, the current through
    an inductor is initially infinite, and then gradually decreases to zero. The voltage
    across an inductor is zero, but it takes time for the magnetic field to collapse. In
    addition, However, in the short term, capacitors and inductors can have a significant
    effect on the behaviour of a DC circuit. For example, a capacitor can block DC
    current, and an inductor can create a large voltage spike when it is switched on.
    3. Calculate current Io and I1 in Figure 13. Thus, calculate the power dissipated by the
    voltage source, 20V.

    DISCUSSION

    From the experiment, Both the theoretical value and the experimental value are derived from
    the measurement of current and voltage. First, the measurement of voltage based on the
    theoretical is slightly different from the theoretical and practical in figure 3.2 (a). Therefore,
    5V is the actual voltage. Because it is a parallel circuit, the theoretical experiment and the
    experiment in figure 3.2 (b) provide the same voltage measurement result.

    3. CONCLUSION

    Conclude in detail the findings and the outcomes of this experiment. This should include the
    summary of knowledge gained, comments and discussion of the results, errors and possible
    sources and how this experiment can be improved.
