I. Experiment Motivations
a. Without core

I0 = 0.85 (A)
Slope S = 792
Coil inductance:
VS 5 .00 −3
LW /O = = =7. 43 ×10 (H)
I O × S 0. 85 ×792
b. With core
VS = 5.00 (V)
I0 = 0.85 (A)
Slope S = 157
Coil inductance:
VS 5 .00 −3
LW /O = = =37. 47 × 10 ( H )
I O × S 0. 85 ×157
Explain: After putting the core inside the coil, the coil’s inductance is significantly increased
(from 7.43 mH to 37.47 mH). This phenomenon occurred because the core has higher
permeability than the air, so magnetic fields can be transferred through the core easier,
thus the coil inductance increases.

Comment:
- After stopping the electric power, the energy of the circuit does not decrease
rapidly to zero, it reduces to zero over a short period of time.
- The energy of oscillations of the coil and the capacitor are damped oscillations.
Explain:
The energy of the circuit loses by the heat of the resistor at rate i 2 R
The graph of total energy is steepest at the time that the magnetic energy reaches a
local maximum because in these times, the current through the coil is highest, and
the loss of energy is mainly due to the resistance of the coil ( ΔQ=i 2 R ).
