Constant Current Source
Part 1:
Using the constant current source Labview provided by Professor Birkett, we set V1 equal to 1kV. Then we set R1 equal to 1k. The load resistor was then swept from 1k to 10k. The purpose of doing this was to find the power, voltage, and current when the load was eqaul to 1k and 10k.
The interface shows a load of 1k. When R is equal to 1k, the power dissipated was 250W, the voltage on the load was 0.5kV. The current on the load was equal to 0.5A
Part 2:
Using the constant current source Labview provided by Professor Birkett, we set V1 equal to 800V. Then we set R1 equal to 470k. The load resistor was then swept from 3k to 5k. The purpose of doing this was to find the power, voltage, and current when the load was eqaul to 3k and 5k.
The interface shows a load of 3k. When R is equal to 3k, the power dissipated was 0.00858W, the voltage on the load was 5.07V. The current on the load was equal to 1.69mA
