A series RLC circuit has R = 425 Ω, L = 1.25 H, C = 3.50 μF. It is connected to an AC source with f = 60.0 Hz and ε m = 150 V. (A) Determine the impedance of the circuit. (B) Find the amplitude of the current (peak value). (C) Find the phase angle between the current and voltage. (D) Find the instantaneous current across the RLC circuit.
12.2 Simple AC circuits Before examining the driven RLC circuit, let’s first consider the simple cases where only one circuit element (a resistor, an inductor or a capacitor) is connected to a sinusoidal voltage source. 12.2.1 Purely Resistive load Consider a purely resistive circuit with a resistor connected to an AC generator, as shown
Power and energy; Resonance. Filters. 18.1 AC circuits: Recap and summary. Last time, we looked at AC circuits and found that they are quite simple to analyze provided we follows some simple rules: 1. Work with complex valued voltages and currents.
Resistor in an ac circuit (instantaneous potential) (amplitude –max- of voltage across R) - Current in phase with voltage phasors rotate together
INTRODUCTION TO AC FILTERS AND RESONANCE OBJECTIVES • To understand the design of capacitive and inductive filters • To understand resonance in circuits driven by AC signals OVERVIEW In a previous lab, you explored the relationship between impedance (the AC equivalent of resistance) and frequency for a resistor, capacitor, and inductor.
Figure AC.1: This figure shows a graphic representation of how an inductor acts under various conditions in a circuit. In (a), showing a constant current, the inductor acts as a resistor, because the length of wire from which the inductor is made has a resistance.
ω =ω 0. The amplitude of the in-phase current is a very sharply-peaked function if Q 1. This phenomenon – in which a system is driven at its natural frequency – is called resonance. It turns out to be interesting to calculate the full width at half maximum (FWHM) in the case Q 1.
