Capacitor PDF

This document describes an experiment to study the relationship between alternating current (I), capacitance (C), and capacitive reactance (Xc) in an AC circuit using different capacitors. The experiment involves connecting capacitors of varying values to an AC power supply and measuring the current and calculating Xc. The results show that the graph of current (I) versus capacitance (C) is a straight line, indicating I is directly proportional to C. The graph of I versus Xc is a curve, showing I is inversely proportional to Xc.

EXPERIMENT
OBJECT:-
To study the relation between A.C current “I” and capacitance “C” of different capacitors used in A.C
circuit. Also calculate capacitive reactance (Xc) for each reading.

APPARATUS:-
Five capacitors of different values, Step-down transformer (12V), A.C Voltmeter, A.C Millimeter,
Five one way keys, Connecting wires.

WORKING FORMULA :-

When a capacitor is connected across an A.C supply then,


I C , = Constant
The capacitive reactance “Xc” is given by
Xc =
Where f is the frequency of AC supply=50 Hz

OBSERVATION :-
Least count of ammeter = ------------ amperes
S.No Capacitance Current I Capacitive
(ampere) = constant Reactance
C (Farad) Xc =

CALCULATION :- 1) Xc = = --------- Ω 2) Xc = = --------- Ω 3) Xc = = --------- Ω

4) Xc = = --------- Ω 5) Xc = = --------- Ω

RESULT :- The graph between I and C is a straight line showing that I α C


The graph between I and Xc is a curve showing that I α
