Description
The apparatus typically includes an AC source, a resistor, an inductive coil, connection terminals, and measurement points for voltage and current.
Users apply an AC excitation and measure the voltage across and current through the resistor and inductor, observing phase differences caused by inductive reactance.
The experiment demonstrates the voltage-current relationship in inductive circuits, verifies Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, and shows the frequency-dependent impedance:

Study of LR Circuit with a Source of Alternating Current - Description
This laboratory experiment focuses on the behavior and analysis of LR circuits powered by an alternating current (AC) source. The circuit comprises a resistor (R) and an inductor (L) connected in series or parallel, supplied with a sinusoidal voltage.
Objective: To study voltage-current relationships, phase difference between voltage and current, and calculate impedance in LR circuits using AC sources.
Apparatus Components: An AC signal generator, a fixed resistor, an inductor coil, measuring instruments such as voltmeters, ammeters, and oscilloscopes, and connecting terminals.
Operation: The AC source applies a sinusoidal voltage, and the voltage drop across the resistor and inductor is measured. The current leads the voltage in the inductor, causing a phase difference, which is observed and measured.

The voltage across the inductor leads current by 90 degrees, introducing a phase shift measurable with an oscilloscope.
Results: The experiment verifies Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) in AC circuits and illustrates how the inductor's reactance varies with frequency, impacting the overall circuit behavior.
This study provides practical insight into AC circuit theory and pulsing inductive effects critical in electrical and electronic engineering contexts. It also trains users in using instrumentation to measure AC parameters accurately.
