3. L C R Circuit

Aim: To study the characteristics series and parallel of LCR circuits.

Apparatus:

1. LCR circuit board consisting of


i. Set of inductors
ii. Set of capacitors
iii. Set of resistors and
iv. Ac milli ammeter
2. Oscillator (signal generator) and
3. Connecting wires.

Principle:
1
1. Resonance frequency of LCR circuit (fr) = Hz
2𝜋 𝐿𝐶

Where, L= Inductance of an inductor in mH


C= Capacitance of the capacitor in μF
𝑓𝑟
2. Quality factor (Q) = 𝛥𝑓

Where, fr= Resonance frequency


Δf= Band width = f2-f1
f1 = lower cut off frequency
f2 = upper cut off frequency.
Theory:

In the series LCR circuit, an inductor (L), capacitor (C) and resistance(R) are connected in series
with a variable frequency sinusoidal emf source and the voltage across the resistance is measured. As
the frequency is varied, the current in the circuit (and hence the voltage across R) becomes maximum
at the resonance frequency. In the parallel LCR circuit there is a minimum of the current at the
resonance frequency.

Procedure:
1. Series resonance circuit:

1. The capacitance (C), inductance (L), resistance(R) and milli ammeter (mA) are connected in

series with the signal generator as given in circuit diagram (Fig 3.1).

2. The capacitor(C)and Resistance (R) are set to be particular values(0.1 μF, 50 Ω)

3. The frequency oscillator is adjusted to a minimum value 1 KHz.

4. The current show by milli ammeter is noted.

5. Keeping the C and R values constant, the frequency of function generator is increased in steps,
corresponding milli ammeter (current) reading are noted.
6. The same procedure is repeated for different resistance, for the same range of frequency and
the readings are tabulated.

Graph:
A graph is drawn with frequency along the x-axis and the current along the y-axis. The frequency
at which the current becomes maximum is the resonant frequency.
