Description
This lab aimed to determine the inductance of a solenoid using three different methods: direct calculation from coil dimensions, direct measurement using an inductance bridge, and measurement based on the frequency response of the solenoid. The direct calculation from the solenoid's dimensions resulted in an estimated inductance of 190 ± 10 μH. The inductance bridge gave a measured value of 154.7 ± 0.1 μH. Lastly, a frequency response analysis using a plot of tan(?) vs frequency led to an inductance value of 112 ± 2 μH. The significance ratio analysis revealed that the values from the three methods were significantly different, with a significance ratio of 15.1 between the calculated and frequency response values, and 3.49 between the calculated and bridge-measured values. Despite these differences, the experiment successfully demonstrated various techniques for measuring inductance and their implications on understanding the solenoid's properties.
