===== 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.** ==== Test questions - Resonant Circuit ====
