ActivPhysics (Inductance), Measuring Inductance

ActivPhysics (Inductance)


We performed an ActivPhysics to help us better understand Inductance.  Answers to questions 1-8 are on the whiteboard below.


Measuring Inductance

Set Up
We created a circuit with a function generator, a resistor, an inductor, and an oscilloscope.  All of the data collected throughout the lab is recorded below on the whiteboard.  What the oscilloscope shows us is a qualitative plot of the potential differences across the inductor vs time and is also how we solved most of the problems in the lab.  Uncertainty was also found for #8 and #9 (whiteboard below)
