WAVE
FORMS
- Scope 2
Current flowing in the circuit
Voltage drop across the capacitor
Observing the wave form from scope2, we can see
that the wave form of the current leads the wave form of the voltage by 900.
This is in line with the fact that in
pure capacitive circuit the current leads the voltage by an angle of 90o and
in a non-pure capacitive circuit by an angle < 900.
- Scope 3
Voltage drop across the resistor
From scope3, we observe that the voltage across the
capacitor (VC) , is out
of phase with the voltage across the resistor (VR ) by 900.
Where VC lags VR with VR and
I in phase.

CONCLUSION
The
table below shows the various values obtained from the simulation using Matlab
and from theoretical analysis. These would enable us to draw a conclusion.
From the table, by comparing
the theoretical and the simulated results we see that the results are coherent.
