The main feature of ferroelectricity is the polarization reversal (switching) with electric field. This can be observed by measuring the polarization vs electric field hysteresis loop (P-E hysteresis loop). This is usually done by using Sawyer-Tower circuit [17] as shown in Figure 2.10. An alternating voltage V is applied across the electrodes on the ferroelectric material and a capacitor Co with high value of capacitance is connected in series with the test sample (C_x) and then studying the relationship between the stored charge and the instantaneous voltage for test sample. The voltage across this capacitor measures the charge stored in the test sample. Figure 2.10 Diagram of Modified Sawyer-Tawer Circuit For the present work, the …show more content…

The ME effect in composite is a result of the interaction of magnetic and piezoelectric phases through strain – stress coupling. ME voltage coefficient depends on mechanical coupling, resistivity and molar ratio of constituent phases and applied DC magnetic field. ME coefficient was measured in terms of variation of the change in electric field with respect to change in magnetic field as a function of dc magnetic bias field. ME characterization in the ceramic was studied by measuring the voltage response of the ceramic subjected to alternating and constant (bias) magnetic field. The bias magnetic field (Hdc) was obtained using an electromagnet and the alternating magnetic field was generated by Helmboltz coil. ME effect was characterized by a ME voltage coefficient α which is given by [19]. α=V/(H_ac ×d) ……………….2.19
Where V is the voltage generated due to magneto electric effect, Hac is the amplitude of alternating magnetic field and d is the thickness of the
For this experiment we utilized varying forms of Ohm’s law (V=IR), rules for resistors in series (Rtotal=R1+R2+…) and parallels (1/Rt=1/R1+1/R2+⋯), and Kirchhoff’s Junction Rule (ΣIi=0). For these models we assumed that the DMM’s produced accurate readings
Existing basic unit is shown in fig.2.1. As shown in fig.2.1, the basic unit consist of three dc voltage sources and five unidirectional power switches. In this structure, power switches (S_2,S_4),(S_1,S_3, S_4, S_5), and (S_1,S_2,S_3, S_5) should not be simultaneously turned on in order to protect the dc voltage sources from the short circuit. Table 2.1 shows the existing basic unit power switches turn on and off states, where the basic unit is able to generate three different voltage levels at the output that is 0, V_1+V_3, and V_1+V_2+V_3. It is important to note that the basic unit is only able to generate positive levels at the output.
After turning on the power supply, the current was adjusted to 5 different levels using the voltage knob, and the magnetic field at each current level is recorded. However, the voltage knob was turned to the left thoroughly, immediately after each current level to prevent the sensor from overheating. Since the data taken for the magnetic field was in Gauss, we converted to the Tesla. At last, we calculated the magnetic field and the percent errors of calculated and measured magnetic field using the equations. Part II: Magnetic Force
Explain why the circuits works? It converts AC voltage to DC voltage. Current flows through the diode in one direction, showing only the positive half-wave on the oscilloscope. The negative half-wave is suppressed, while the positive half-wave appears across the load.
He also noticed that as the coil loops increased so did the voltage as read on a galvanometer. This process of moving the magnet in between the coil wire demonstrated electromagnetic induction. The experiment performed by Erin Bjornsson they talk about how to perform “Faraday’s Experiment” (Bjornsson, 2013) By following similar steps performed by Michael Faraday their hypothesis asked “what will happen when you pass a strong magnet through a loop of copper wire.”

The Bosch BNO055 IMU sensors come with the software package that consists of sensor drivers. In order to let the sensors to give data, these drivers should be added in the Arduino software library folder inside the computer. The driver is capable of giving the raw sensor data by using the sensor library in the Arduino code. The Arduino library used for this purpose was ‘Wire Library’, which allow communication with I^2 C devices. This library can be manually downloaded and added to the Arduino folder.
The states b, e, and f can also be merged into one row. Finally c and d can be replaced by a, e and f can be replaced by b. New reduced table and final reduced table are shown below. Step 3. In order to obtain the circuit described by the reduced flow table, it is necessary to assign to each state a distinct binary value. This assignment converts the flow table into a transition table.

Properties of Substances Express Lab 1)The purpose of this lab was to compare the physical properties of different types of solids and how the properties of solids are determined by their intermolecular forces and their intramolecular bonds. Then we were to classify each type of solid as either ionic, metallic, non-polar molecular, polar molecular, or network. Paraffin wax classified as a non-polar molecular, Silicon dioxide was classifies as a network, Sodium chloride was classified as ionic, Sucrose was classified as polar molecular and Tin was classified as metallic. (2)The intermolecular forces that are present in Paraffin wax are dispersion forces, because it is non-polar and carries a negative charge. Followed by Sucrose that has
The purpose of this lab was to observe the phenomenon of resonance in an open ended cylindrical tube and use resonance to determine the velocity of sound in air at regular temperatures. A hypothesis for this lab was that if the frequency of the tuning fork increased, then the length of the tube to achieve resonance will increase because of the high amplitude of the vibration. The resonance of the open-closed tube was found through these steps. First, the tube was filled with water with an inner tube inside the outer tube. The water temperature was measured.
