RLC circuit

Principle

The current and voltage of parallel and series-tuned circuits are investigated as a function of frequency. Q-factor and band-width are determined.

Tasks

Determination of the frequency performance of a

• Series-tuned circuit for

1. voltage resonance without damping resistor,
2. current resonance without damping resistor,
3. current resonance with damping resistor.

• Parallel-tuned circuit for

1. current resonance without parallel resistor,
2. voltage resonance without parallel resistor,
3. voltage resonance with parallel resistor.
