    This document is an experiment report submitted by Meera Keempee A. for their BSEE course. The experiment aims to understand power in AC circuits by measuring true power, apparent power, and reactive power using a wattmeter, voltmeter, and ammeter. For a circuit with a DC lamp, the true power equals the apparent power. For circuits with reactive components, calculations and power triangles are used to determine the power values. Measurements show power depends on the circuit loads and components. The conclusion is that power concepts differ between DC and AC circuits due to reactive effects.

    No. 4

    I. OBJECTIVES
    1. To understand the relationship among the real or true power, the

    circuits the power (in watts) supplied to load is always equal to the product of the
    voltage and the current.

    4. Turn on the switch. Observe the ammeter, wattmeter and voltmeter.
    5. Make the necessary adjustment on the instruments range for
    convenience of reading the indicated value.

    VI.DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

    From the results gained through the experimentation and after a brief
    analysis of the data, I have observed that the AC power is dependent on
    the loads that are given. This is because it changes along with the load
    throughout the series. It can be shown in the circuit that the DC lamp’s
    insertion causes the apparent power and true power to be equal. It can be
    said that a circuit’s parameters are dependent on the values given on the
    components.

    VII. CONCLUSION

    After this experiment using the simulator, I can therefore conclude


    that the concept of power consumption can be proven to be the product of
    the voltage and the current. This is the case for DC Circuits. On the
    contrary, the concept of obtaining the power and other parameters for AC
    Circuits has a different approach when it has reactive components. Also,
    the simulator can help on how and where to place the measuring
    instruments to correctly measure the parameters.
