Capacitor in the AC circuit with Cobra4 Xpert-Link
A capacitor is connected in a circuit with a variable-frequency voltage source. The impedance and phase displacement are determined as a function of frequency and of capacitance. Parallel and series impedances are measured.
- Intuitive, touch-optimized software that controls all devices simultaneously
- Simplified implementation: all pre-settings already prepared
- Easy frequency setting thanks to digital function generator
- Fast and easy experimenting simply by switching components
- Impedance will be computed in real-time
- Further experiments in electricity and electronics can be performed with the equipment
