System and Automatic Control Lab (EC-218) : Experiment No. 3

The document describes an experiment to determine the transient response of a series RLC circuit and compare theoretical and practical results. The apparatus required includes an oscilloscope, inductor box, capacitor, variable resistor, and function generator. The theory section explains that an RLC circuit is an electrical circuit consisting of a resistor, inductor, and capacitor connected in series. It forms a harmonic oscillator and resonates similarly to an LC circuit. Introducing resistance increases damping of oscillations and reduces peak resonant frequency. RLC circuits have applications as oscillator circuits such as in radio receivers and television sets.

Theory:
An RLC circuit is an electrical circuit consisting of a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and
a capacitor (C), connected in series or in parallel. The name of the circuit is derived from the
letters that are used to denote the constituent components of this circuit, where the sequence of
the components may vary from RLC.
The circuit forms a harmonic oscillator for current, and resonates in a similar way as an LC
circuit. Introducing the resistor increases the decay of these oscillations, which is also known
as damping. The resistor also reduces the peak resonant frequency. Some resistance is
unavoidable in real circuits even if a resistor is not specifically included as a component. An
ideal, pure LC circuit is an abstraction used in theoretical considerations.
RLC circuits have many applications as oscillator circuits. Radio receivers and television sets use
them for tuning to select a narrow frequency range from ambient radio waves. In this role the
circuit is often referred to as a tuned circuit. An RLC circuit can be used as a band-pass
filter, band-stop filter, low-pass filter or high-pass filter. The tuning application, for instance, is
an example of band-pass filtering. The RLC filter is described as a second-order circuit, meaning
that any voltage or current in the circuit can be described by a second-order differential
equation in circuit analysis.

The three circuit elements, R,L and C can be combined in a number of different topologies. All
three elements in series or all three elements in parallel are the simplest in concept and the most
straightforward to analyse. There are, however, other arrangements, some with practical
importance in real circuits. One issue often encountered is the need to take into account inductor
resistance. Inductors are typically constructed from coils of wire, the resistance of which is not
usually desirable, but it often has a significant effect on the circuit.
