COM4LAB Course: AC Technology II

The COM4LAB course AC Technology II is the second course on the fundamentals of AC technology. It addresses the behaviour of passive components in various circuits. Various combinations of coil, capacitor and resistance are analysed and calculated. The students are instructed on how to use the function generator, oscilloscope and multimeters. The course comprises 20 chapters.

The course covers the following topics:

• generation of AC voltage
• characteristic variables in AC technology
• Ohmic resistance in an AC circuit
• coil in an AC circuit

  inductive resistance – series connection of resistor and coil – parallel connection of resistor and coil

• capacitor in an AC circuit

  capacitive resistance – series connection of resistor and capacitor – parallel connection of resistor and capacitor

• series connection of resistor, coil and capacitor
• parallel connection of resistor, coil and capacitor
• series compensation
• parallel compensation
• series resonance
• parallel resonance

The course …

• can be displayed and filled out on your own tablet/smartphone/laptop.
• is platform-independent - a current browser is sufficient.
• can be distributed to students via QR codes.
• enables interactive experimenting: The measured values from the Master Unit are automatically made available for evaluation in tables and diagrams. The analysis and documentation of the experiment on the student device can be done at school or at home.
• can be edited and thus adapted to your own lesson plan.
