oThe application to the calculation of R, L, and C.
oExperimentally determine the variation of the intensity and voltage at
through the R-L-C elements, when applying a sinusoidal alternating voltage.
II. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
[Link]
The analysis of alternating current (AC) is a branch of electronics that allows the
analysis of the operation of parallel RLC circuits that are composed of
resistors, capacitors, and inductors with an alternating current source.
This time, instead of the current being common to the circuit components, the voltage
applied is now common to all that we need to find the currents of the
individual branches through each element. The total impedance, Z of an RLC circuit
in parallel, it is calculated using the current of the circuit similar to that of a parallel circuit
DC, the difference this time is that the admission is used instead of the impedance.
[Link] RLC CIRCUIT
In the parallel RLC circuit, we can see that the supply voltage, V S, is common to
los tres componentes, mientras que la corriente de suministro I S consta de tres partes. La
current flowing through the resistor, I R, the current flows through the inductor, I L and
from the current through the capacitor, I C.
But the current flowing through each branch and therefore each component will be
different from each other and from the power supply, I S. The total current absorbed from the
red will not be the arithmetic sum of the three currents of the individual branches, but their
vector sum.
Similar to the RLC series circuit, we can solve this circuit using the method
either in force or vector form, but this time the vector diagram will have tension as a reference
with the three current vectors represent concerning the tension. The phasor diagram
For a parallel RLC circuit, it is produced by combining the three phasors together.
individuals for each component and the addition of the currents vectorially.
Since the voltage across the circuit is common to the three circuit elements
we can use this as the reference vector with the three current vectors in
relationship with this drawn in its corresponding angles. The resultant vector I S is
obtains by summing two of the vectors, I L and I C and then adding this sum to
remaining vector I r. The resulting angle obtained between V and I S will be the phase angle of
circuits as shown below.

Mathematically, the magnitude of the currents in the branches along the x-axis and the y-axis.
and then determine the total current I S of these components as shown.

Since the voltage across the circuit is common to the three circuit elements, the
the current through each branch can be found using Kirchhoff's current law,
Kirchhoff's current law states that 'the total current entering a junction'
from a junction or node is exactly equal to the current leaving the node,
the currents that enter and exit node 'A' above are given as:
Taking the derivative, dividing through the previous equation by C and rearranging gives us
from the following second-order equation for the circuit current. It becomes
a second order equation, because there are two reactive elements in the circuit, the
inductor and the capacitor.
The opposition to current flow in this type of AC circuit consists of three
components: X L X C and R and the combination of these three gives the impedance of the circuit, Z.
We know from above that the voltage has the same amplitude and phase in all
components of a parallel RLC circuit. Next, the impedance through
each component can also be described mathematically according to the current that
flows through, and the voltage across each element as.
Impedance of a parallel RLC circuit
It can be noticed that in the final equation for a parallel RLC circuit it produces complexes
of impedance for each parallel branch, since each element becomes the value
reciprocal of the impedance, ( 1 / Z ) with the inverse of the impedance being
admission call.
In alternating current circuits in parallel, it is more convenient to use the admittance,
symbol (Y) to solve the complex especially when two or
more parallel branches of impedance (help with the math of) impedance
from the branch. The total admittance of the circuit can simply be found through the
addition of the admittances in parallel. Next, the total impedance, Z T of the circuit
it will therefore be 1 / Y T Siemens as shown.
The admission of an RLC parallel circuit
The new unit for admittance is the Siemens, abbreviated as S, (former unit of
mho℧, inversely ohms). Admittances add in parallel branches, while
Impedances are added in series branches. But if we can have a
reciprocal of the impedance, we can also have a reciprocal of the resistance and the
reactance as impedance consists of two components, R and X. Next, the
the reciprocal of resistance is called conductance and the inverse number of reactance is
call Susceptance.
Conductance, admittance, and susceptance
The units used for conductance, admittance, and susceptance are all the same.
namely, Siemens (S), which can also be thought of as the reciprocal of Ohms or
ohm -1, but the symbol used for each element is different and in a component
pure this is given as:
Admittance (Y):
Conductancia (G):
Susceptance (B):
Therefore, we can define inductive and capacitive susceptance as follows:

VI.- CONCLUSIONS AND OBSERVATIONS
Conclusiones:
It can be concluded that the resistances and inductive reactances and
Capacitive elements are linear elements that comply with Ohm's law.
This is verified in the increases or decreases of current and voltage.

In the case of alternating current, the relationships are no longer so simple, due to
that if we used the values as in continuous, the laws of would not be fulfilled
Kirchhoff, however, these do comply, if we use the complex values.
(phasors), specifically for coils and capacitors.
Geometric loci and phasor diagrams help us predict the
behavior of the circuit elements, as well as the phases
(important for determining the power factor). They also help us to
determine the resonance points.
Observations:
In the RLC circuit, it was observed that as the resistance increased the
the voltage in the coil was decreasing and the voltage in the resistor was increasing (both the
increase and decrease in voltage occurred with a marked trend
parabolic) and the circuit current was decreasing.
It was also observed that the voltage across the resistor increases (with a tendency
linear) as capacitance increases while the voltage at
through the capacitor gradually decreases and the increased current with a
linear trend.
Finally, it was observed that as the capacitance increased, the
voltage across the resistor and the coil was increasing and decreasing
respectively while the voltage across the capacitor was increasing from
a slow way.
