Step 4: |
|
Set the function generator to produce a 1 Hz square wave.
Turn the
AMPLITUDE
control to maximum.
|
Step 5: |
|
Observe the waveforms displayed on the oscilloscope.
Do these look like what you have observed in the past?
|
Step 6: |
|
Using the technique from Part 2 of Experiment 5.1,
measure the time constants of both
and
.
|
Step 7: |
|
Separate the two motors.
Measure the time constant of
.
|
Step 8: |
|
Rejoin the two motors.
Disconnect the function generator from the motor (leaving
the scope connections connected)
and connect it to the input of the motor amplifier your built
last week.
Connect the output of the motor amplifier to the motor.
|
Step 9: |
|
Turn on the power supply and set the function generator output
to maximum.
|
Step 10: |
|
Measure the time constant of
.
|
Question 4: |
|
Explain the waveforms you have measured in this experiment.
In particular, explain the changes in the time constants when
the two motors were separated and when the function generator
was replaced with the motor amplifier.
