5.5 Generation of undamped LC oscillations
Also required:
1 Helmholtz pair of coils D
1000644
2 Barrel foot
1002834
1 Capacitor 250 pF or 1000 pF
1 Oscilloscope
Warning! When the anode voltage is
switched on, the metal parts of the coils are
live. Do not touch!
•
Only change circuits with power supply
equip-ment switched off.
•
Set up the circuit as in fig. 5.
•
Place the coils side by side as near one
another as possible.
•
Apply an anode voltage U
A
of about 300 V.
•
Observe the undamped oscillations on the
screen of the oscilloscope.
•
Rotate one of the coils to demonstrate that
that the occurance and amplitude of the os-
cillations depends on the relative position of
the two coils. Touch the coils only at the in-
sulated parts!
•
Vary the anode voltage U
A
between 100 and
500 V and observe that the amplitude of the
oscillations does not increase in direct pro-
portion to U
A
.
•
Carry out an experiment of the same kind
without capacitators so that the capacitance
of the oscillating circuit is formed only by the
self capacitance of the conductor.
