AIM: To find resonance frequency , Bandwidth , Q - factor of RLC series circuit

APPARATUS REQUIRED : Power Supply, Function Generator, CRO, Series Resonance


kit, Connecting Leads.

BRIEF THEORY : The ckt. is said to be in resonance if the current is in phase with the
applied Voltage . Thus at Resonance, the equivalent complex impedance of the ckt. consists of
only resistance R. Since V & I are in phase, the power factor of resonant ckt. is unity.
The total impedance for the series RLC ckt. is
Z = R + j( XL - XC ) = R + j(ωL –
1/ωC) Z = R + jX
The ckt. is in resonance when X = 0, i.e
Z=R
Series resonance occurs when, XL = X C , i.e
ωL = 1/ωC
2πfrL = 1/ 2πfrC ⇒ fr² = 1/ 4π²LC
fr = 1/ 2π(LC)½

PROCEDURE :

a) Make connection as per the circuit diagram & switch ‘ON’ the supply.
b) Feed the sine wave to the I/P terminal from function generator.
c) Adjust the peak to peak voltage of sine wave to 10V (V1) & frequency to 1 KHz.
d) O/P is connected to CRO.
e) Now change the I/P freq. with the help of function generator & note down the
corresponding
f) Reading of O/P voltage from CRO screen.
g) At resonance freq. O/P will be max.
h) Plot the graph between freq. & O/P voltage. Calculate resonance freq., band width & Q.

DISCUSSIONS: At cut-off frequencies the voltage becomes 1/(2) Vm

PRECAUTIONS :
a) Make the connections according to the circuit diagram. Power supply should be
switched off.
b) Connections should be tight.
c) Handle the CRO carefully.
d) Note the readings carefully.

QUIZ/ANSWERS:

Q1.Define resonance A1.At resonance the circuit is purely resistive


in nature . So,the voltage & the current will be
in phase.
Q2. In series resonance the current is ------- & A2. Maximum , minimum
the impedance is ----------- .
Q3. In parallel resonance the current is ------- A3. Minimum , maximum
& the impedance is ----------- .
Q4. Define bandwidth A4.The frequency band within the limits of
lower & upper half power frequency is called
the bandwidth
Q5 Define selectivity A5.It is defined as the ratio of resonant
frequency (f0) to the bandwidth of the circuit
i.e
Selectivity = f0/f2 – f1
Q6. At frequency below resonant frequency A6.At f < f0, the overall reactance will be
(f0) , what will be the nature of overall capacitive
reactance ?
Q7. At frequency above resonant frequency A7. At f > f0, the overall reactance will be
(f0) , what will be the nature of overall inductive
reactance ?
Q8. Does resonance occurs in dc or ac circuits? A8. Resonance occurs in ac circuits only.
Q9. What is the effect of resistance on the A9.The frequency response curve with small
frequency response curve ? resistance rises steeply & has a tall narrow
peak while the curve with large
resistance rises less steeply & has a low broad
peak.
