03 RLC

This document describes simulating the sinusoidal steady-state response of a series RLC circuit in LTspice software. It provides the circuit diagram, theory of operation when the frequency is below, at, and above the resonant frequency, and calculations for impedance, current, and phase angle. The simulations are run for these three frequency cases. The output current and phase angle are recorded and compared to theoretical values, showing good agreement. The results demonstrate the behavior of the RLC circuit under different input frequencies.

Date: SINUSOIDAL STEADY STATE RESPONSE OF SERIES RLC CIRCUIT

AIM: To study the behaviour of the given RLC series circuit for the following conditions and to plot
the steady-state response.

(i) f < fr

(ii) f = fr

(iii)f > fr

SOFTWARE REQUIRED:

LTspice software

THEORY & CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

THEORY
The Series RLC circuit as shown in the above figure can be used as a series bandpass filter. In the
series RLC circuit, larger reactance determines the net reactance of the circuit.
Case i:
If XL > XC the circuit behaves like an inductive circuit and the current lags behind the supply voltage.
Case ii:
If XC > XL, the circuit behaves like a capacitive circuit and the circuit current leads the voltage when
The Sinusoidal Steady State Response of RLC circuit is plotted.

SERIES RESONANCE:
When a circuit is supplied with a voltage of fixed amplitude but varying frequencies, there is a
frequency at which the inductive and capacitive components of the circuit cancel each other out.
This frequency is called the resonant frequency (fr) point, and at this point, the circuit has maximum
current flow and minimum impedance.
