a) Estimate the worst-case RMS current that might pass through the resistor and the power
dissipated in the resistor by assuming the coil is replaced by a shorting wire. The low-
power resistor decade box has a ½-amp fuse, and the resistors are rated for ½ Watt. Are
such ratings adequate for this circuit? If not, be sure to use the Power Resistor decade box
for this circuit.
b) The 60 Hz AC voltage is approximately 10 V
rms
. Measure the input voltage on CHANNEL
1 of the oscilloscope and compare that to the voltage drop measured across the 100Ω re-
sistance on CHANNEL 2. What is the phase shift of the voltage waveform? The phase shift
can be calculated in degrees by the following formula:
= t · f ·360°
where
is the phase shift, f is the frequency, and t is the time difference between the
two waveforms.
