The Objectives:
 In this experiment, the natural and step response of RL circuit are examined.
 The use of computer controlled equipment is also introduced.

 Introduction and Test Circuits


Inductors and capacitors have the ability to store energy. It is important to determine the
voltages and currents that arise in circuits composed by resistors, and either inductors or
capacitors, when energy is released or acquired by the inductor or capacitor as a
consequence of an abrupt change in the DC voltage or current in the circuit. The
description of the voltages and currents in this type of circuits is done in terms of
differential equations of first order.
1. Natural Response
The currents and voltages that arise when the energy stored in an inductor or capacitor and
suddenly released to the resistors in the circuit are referred to as the natural response of
the circuit. The behavior of these currents and voltages depends only on the nature of the
circuit, and not on external sources of excitation.
 Natural Response of an RL Circuit
In an RL circuit, the natural response is described in terms of the voltage and current at the
terminals of the resistor when the external source of power stops delivering energy to the
circuit. The expressions for the current and voltage across the resistor are:

(1)
(2)
Where Io is the initial current through the inductor before the power source goes off and
the inductor starts releasing energy to the circuit.
The symbol τ represents the time constant of the circuit:
(3)
An RL circuit is shown in Fig .Down Here, Vs provides a square signal with a DC offset
voltage such that the bottom part of the wave form is aligned with the zero volts level.
RS is the internal resistance of the voltage source, hence when the square wave takes the
value of zero volts (and can be viewed as a short circuit) the energy of the inductor L is
released through the combination of R1 and RS. In order to observe the natural response
of the circuit, the period T of the square wave must be long enough to allow the complete
charge and discharge of the inductor. UsualSummarizing, the natural response of an RL
circuit is calculated by
(1) finding the initial current Io through the inductor
(2) finding the time constant of the circuit (Eq. 3)
(3) using( Eq. 1) to generate i(t).
Equipment

c. Calculate the time constant

d. Draw the inductor current & evaluate it at t=

e. Draw the voltage source and inductor voltage in the same


graph.

Conclusion:
1- we learn how to use Function Generator (FG) to choose the wave form for Ac
source .
2- we learn how evaluate the inductor current and how deal with the inductor
in circuit
3- the inductor current is increasing whenever the time is increases
