    - Abstract:
    The aim of the experiment: Is to find the
    time constant () and the value of the
    capacitor, also to find the peak voltage in RC,
    RL and LC circuits.

    The method used: is by using the


    oscilloscope to display VC and VR and the time
    constant to compare the theoretical and
    experimental answers.

    - Theory :
    RC circuits:
    For charging capacitor Q(t)=Qmax(1-e-t/RC) , and the
    voltage across the plates VC = Q/C , then
    VC = (1-e-t/RC) . to find the time constant VC = 0.63
    .
    For the discharging capacitor:
    Q(t)=Ce-t/RC , then the voltage across its plates
    has the formula : VC = Vmax e-t/RC , and this value
    equals to 0.37 from th maximum voltage , VC =
    0.37 .
    RL circuits:

    The current passing through the circuit is: I(t)=

    (1-e-Rt/L)
    The voltage across the resistor: VR = (1-e-t/RL) , and
    the voltage across the conductor: VL = e-Rt/L
    LC circuits:
    The voltage across the plates of the capacitor is :
    1

    VC = VC0Cos(t+) , since =

    - Procedure :
    RC circuits:
    after connecting the circuit , the oscilloscope
    has been used to display VC and VR to measure
    for both charging and discharging
    RL circuits:
    The same operations for the RC circuit, we
    used the oscilloscope to display VC and VR on
    the screen , then measuring the time constant
    for charging and discharging.
    LC circuits: After connecting the circuit, we
    used the oscilloscope to display VC , then
    measuring the amplitude, also the frequency,
    the calculating the experimental answers.

    - Data:

    By using the oscilloscope we had this data for the


    different circuits:
    R= 1K , C= 0.1 F , L= 10 mH
    1- RC circuits:

    V (v)
    t(ms)

    0.37V

    3- LC circuit :
    Frequency = 4.77 kHz
    Then exp equals to (4.77)*(2)=30144

    - Calculation:
    In the data above, we can see the experimental
    values, which should be close to theoretical values:

    RC circuits:
    The experimental value of is avg
    =(64+150)/2 = 9.6 ms .
    From the theory =RC = 1K * 0.1 F = 10
    ms .
    RL circuits:
    exp = (11+6)/2 = 8.5 s
    th = RC = 1K * 10 mH = 10 s
    LC circuits:
    We calculated exp = (4.77)*(2)=30144
    And th = 1/(LC) = 31622.7

    - Conclusion :
    We concluded that the experimental results are
    close to theoretical results, the RC and RL circuits
    have an exponential graphs, but the LC sircuit has
    a graph of a sin wave.
