FIRST YEAR E.T. LAB

EXP. NO. 3

SERIES RLC Circuit


OBJECTIVE: To study the behavior of a series R-L-C circuit.

PROCEDURE :
1. Connect the circuit as shown in the diagram.
2. Adjust the rheostat for maximum resistance and the auto transformer to the
position of zero-output voltage and switch on the supply.
3. Adjust the voltage across the circuit to about 70 V and note I, Vs, VL, Vc, VR and
W.
4. Adjust the rheostat for several settings and repeat step 3.
5. Adjust the rheostat to the maximum setting and change the capacitance to 140 F
and repeat step 4.
6. Compare the values of phase angle as obtained from the meter readings and from
the phasor diagrams. (From the phasor diagrams compute cos and as given in
the last two columns of the table). Draw phasor diagrams showing VR, VL, VC, Vs,
& I for different sets of readings.

1. Do you expect to be a constant? Is it so as per your experiment? Why?


2. Is IVR equal to W? Compare the difference of wattmeter reading W with IV cos
for a few readings and give your comments.
3. Discuss the phenomenon of series resonance in an electrical circuit.
4. Is it possible to have a voltage drop across the energy storage element greater than
the supply?
