This lab experiment aims to study the effects of varying frequency on an RLC parallel circuit. The circuit includes a resistor, inductor, and capacitor connected in parallel with an AC source. At resonance frequency, the capacitive and inductive reactances cancel each other out, leaving only resistance. The experiment will measure voltage and current at different frequencies, both below and above resonance, to observe this effect.

Resonance RLC Parallel Circuit
Objective • To Study the effects of variation of frequency on an R-L-C Parallel Resonance circuit.
Components and tools
• AC source. • Resistor. • Inductor. • Capacitor • Ammeter • Voltmeter • Ground • Oscilloscope Theory • Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. • Inductance is property of conductor that opposes any change in electrical current. Stores energy in form of magnetic field in AC circuits and act as short circuit in DC. • Capacitance is the ability of a component or circuit to collect and store energy in the form of an electrical charge. • Reactance is the opposition presented to alternating current by inductance or capacitance Xc XL = 2π f C Theory RLC Parallel circuit • RLC Parallel circuit is an electrical circuit in which resistor, capacitor and inductor are arranged in such a way that the voltage remains common in all three components. • RLC Parallel circuit is often called Parallel AC resonant circuit because it generates oscillations at its output. • RLC Parallel circuit is widely used as a Electromagnetic wave generator and low pass filter. Resonance Frequency is a frequency at which the capacitive and inductive reactance's cancel each other leaving only resistive element behind. Theory • In RLC Parallel Circuit at resonant frequency the total current flowing through the circuit is minimum. fr = Circuit diagram Procedure Results f < fr
