Inductor Circuit in Multisim
This text describes how to build a circuit in Multisim to measure the inductance of an inductor.
The circuit uses a function generator to create a sinusoidal wave, and a 1000 ohm resistor to measure the current through the inductor. The peak voltage and current are measured, and the inductance is calculated using the formula XL = Vpeak/Ipeak.
Questions
- What is the peak voltage across the inductor?
- What is the peak current through the inductor?
- What is the inductance of the inductor?
Answers
- The peak voltage across the inductor is 2.66 volts.
- The peak current through the inductor is 0.004232 amps.
- The inductance of the inductor is 0.1H or 100mH.
