Abstract
The Mini-Design project focused on building of a resonance circuit with each lab partner using a different resistor. The circuit I used consisted of a 0.1uF capacitor, 100mH inductor, and a 15ohm resistor. All of these components were connected to a voltage source in series and tested for the desired values.
Background Theory
Sinusoidal analysis is to measure the alternating pattern of voltage that takes place in a circuit. These patterns can be repetitious because they are cosine waves that deal with angular frequency. The first steps in sinusoidal analysis is determining the initial sources and form a time domain. After it is put in complex domain, one can use linear techniques to solve for unknowns.
Design Criteria
The design we built was a response circuit. First, I used a function generator and an oscilloscope to generate a sine wave that went through a 15ohm resistor...
