1 LEARNING OUTCOMES (LO)
Construct of an AC electrical circuit and measured related electrical parameter using
appropriate electrical equipment / simulator. ( P4 , PLO 5 )
2 OBJECTIVE
At the end of this practical work, student should be able to:
1. To understand and analyze the characteristics of a sinusoidal waveform of alternating
current signal.
3 THEORY
Alternating current can be abbreviated to AC, where a system with such an alternating current
is known as AC system. The curve relating current to time is known as waveform.
Those shown in Figure 1.1 are example of waveforms that produce by alternating current;
sinusoidal, square wave and triangular (sawtooth).
Among the waveforms, sinusoidal waveform is the most important. Figure 1.2 illustrates how
this EMF (electromagnetic field) AC waveform was generated from one revolution wire loop
(conductor) system moving accross permanent magnetic field to produce one complete cycle
of sinusoidal voltage based on Faraday’s Law.
The equation for this EMF AC waveform is equal to E = Em sin ωt, where Em is maximum
emf, and θ = ωt (flux cutting angle).

8 CONCLUSION
Based on the simulation work performed, write your conclusion. [ /5M]
In conclusion, based on this experiment we understand and know how to
analyze the characteristics of a sinusoidal waveform of alternating current
signal. All sinusoidal signals have the same general shape, but they are not
identical. The three characteristics that separate one sinusoid from another are
amplitude, frequency, and phase. Other than that The usual waveform of
alternating current in most electric power circuits is a sine wave. In certain
applications, different waveforms are used, such as triangular or square waves.
