===== R–L–C Series Resonant Circuit =====
==== Background information ====
\\
**“Resonance describes the oscillatory response of a system when it is excited by a frequency that matches or is close to the system’s natural frequency.”**
\\
The resonance frequency is given by:
$$f_{\rm r} = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}\text{, or} ~~~ \omega_{\rm r} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$$
\\
At resonance, the current is given by:
$$I = \frac{U}{R}$$
\\
==== Experimental Tasks ====
\\
- Set up the following measurement circuit: {{drawio>Fig-7_V4-R–L–C-Series-resonant-circuit.svg}}\\ \\ The corresponding phasor diagram is shown in . \\
- The function generator shall be set to produce a sinusoidal signal, and the amplitude of the output voltage shall be 6 V. For the circuit shown above, the magnitude of the impedance is given by: $$Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (\omega L − \frac{1}{\omega C})^2}$$ \\ As can be seen from , the inductive and capacitive voltage components partially cancel each other. There exists a specific frequency at which these components cancel completely, causing the circuit to behave as a purely resistive circuit. This frequency is known as the resonance frequency. \\
- Calculate the resonance frequency for the assembled measurement circuit. \\ (The capacitance of the capacitor is determined using a measuring instrument) \\ \\ $f_{\rm r}~=~ ..........................................................$ \\ \\
- Adjust the frequency of the function generator so that the ratio $\frac{f}{f_{\rm r}}$ corresponds to the values listed in .
- Measure the RMS voltage $U_{\rm R}$ using the oscilloscope and record the measured values in . {{drawio>Table-2-R–L–C_Resonant_V4.svg}}\\ \\
- **Plot the current as a function of the ratio $\frac{f}{f_{\rm r}}$ on a logarithmic scale.**
