RLC Circuit Resonance Experiment Guide

The document describes an experiment using a series RLC circuit with an AC source to study resonance. The objectives are to study the resonant RLC circuit and be familiar with its principles. The procedures involve connecting the circuit components, adjusting the function generator, measuring phase shift with an oscilloscope, varying the frequency and recording voltage readings to evaluate impedance and plot graphs of XL, XC and impedance against frequency. Observations and conclusions are also included.

RLC Circuits

Objectives:

1. To study an RLC circuit with an AC source to create a resonant system.


2. To be familiar with the series RLC Resonance Circuit and its principles.

Materials:

Resistor = 2 kΩ Function Generator


Inductor = 5 mH Oscilloscope
Capacitor = 4.7 μF Multimeter

Procedures:

1. Connect the resistance, capacitance and inductance in series as shown in Figure 1 below.

2. Adjust the function generator to 200 Hz, 10 V and 50% duty cycle.
3. Select sine waveform, turn the circuit ON for about 50 ms then turn it OFF.
4. Measure the phase shift between the current I and the input voltage V using oscilloscope.
5. Draw the result of the display graph.
6. Draw the Phasor diagram.
7. Connect the circuit as shown in Figure 2.

8. Set the voltmeter to 6 Vrms.
9. Select sine waveform; vary the oscillator from 14 kHz to 17 KHz in steps of 0.5 kHz.
10. Record the reading of the voltmeter at each step in the table below.

(add rows if necessary)

11. Evaluate the impedance of the circuit at each step.


12. Plot a graph of XL, and Xc w.r.t. frequency.
13. Plot a graph of impedance w.r.t. frequency.
14. Determine the value of the impedance at the resonant frequency.
15. Compare the value of the resonant frequency to the theoretical value.

Observations:

1. Can we obtain a plot of XL, against frequency f experimentally?

2. Explain why Phasor and impedance diagrams have the same angles.

3. What is the value of Phasor shift if R = 300Ω; L= 400mH with f = 50Hz. Discuss the
increase or decrease in the phase shift.

4. Comment on the results you have obtained.
