1-1 LAB EXPERIMENT: AODC CIRCUIT

PURPOSE
То analyze the waveforrns for а circuit with both ас and dc components.

INTRODUCTION
Capacitors are used for signal coupling, dc Ыocking, and ас bypassing. The
waveforms found in electronic circuits can Ье pure altemating cuпent, pure
direct cuпent, or а comЬination of altemating and direct cuпent. This exper­
iment will give you an opportunity to gain experience with circuits having
both ас and dc waveforms. It will also allow an investigation of some of the
ways capacitors can Ье used.

PROCEDURE
1. Build the circuit shown in Fig. 1-3.
2. Set the dc power supply for 8 V.
3. Set the signal generator for sine wave output at а frequency of 15 kНz.
Adjust the generator amplitude to 6 V р-р·
4. Set the oscilloscope vertical sensitivity to 2 V /DIV and the horizontal time
base to 20 µ,s/DIV.
5. The vertical input of the oscilloscope must Ье set for dc coupling.
6. Ground the input probe of the oscilloscope.
7. Set the oscilloscope to Automatic Triggering. Carefully adjust the Vertical
Position control so that the trace is exactly in the center of the screen.
8. Adjust the Brightness and Focus for а sharp trace.
9. Connect the oscilloscope ground to your circuit ground.
Note: If at any time during the following steps the oscilloscope display is not
locked, adjust the Trigger Level control for а staЬle screen waveforrn.

12. РгоЬе Node 3 of the ciгcuit. If the waveform is off the screen, slowly гe­
duce the output of the dc power supply to move the wavefo1-m onto the
display area. Record the waveform for Node 3 on Fig. 1-4.
13. Probe Node 4 of the circuit. Record the waveform for Node 4 on Fig.
1-4.
14. Probe Node 5 of the circuit. Recoгd the waveform for Node 5 on Fig.
1-4.
15. Modify the circuit as shown in Fig. 1-5. Observe the polarity of the
22-µ,F electrolytic bypass capacitor.
