Objectives :
1) To study the voltage and current response of capacitor under the application of step response
3) To study the phase relation between current and voltage on the capacitor under AC excitation.
Introduction :
In this experiment a basic RC circuit will be analyzed under both step and AC excitations. The
RC circuit is an essential circuit used in many applications such as the design of low pass,
high pass, band pass, band stop filters. It is also used in the design of relaxation oscillators.
Step response analysis
called the step response. This step response happens billions of times
every second inside digital devices. That means this is the most
AC analysis
The phaser domain analysis the need for the use of differential
experimental procedure :
a) Charging and discharging process of a capacitor
1) Connect the circuit shown in Fig.2 and connect the generator with a positive square wave
voltage.

2) Connect channel Ch1 of the oscilloscope to point A for reading out the input voltage
3) Connect channel Ch2 to point B of the oscilloscope for reading out the capacitor voltage
or for presenting the capacitor current.
4) For presentation of the capacitor current replace the resistor 4.7kΩ and the capacitor
0.22μF within the circuit. Then measure the voltage at the resistor.
5) Draw the resulting waveform as you see on the screen of the oscilloscope.
b) The capacitance C :
Ꚍ = RC ➔C = 0.212 μF .
V = 5.12 volt .
