LCR Circuit Resonance Experiment

The document describes an experiment to plot graphs of current versus frequency for series and parallel LCR circuits. The objectives are to determine the resonant frequency, quality factor, and bandwidth. The experiment uses an AC power source, capacitor, inductor, resistor, ammeter, and connection wires. For the series LCR circuit, resonance occurs when the capacitive and inductive reactances cancel out at a single resonant frequency. The bandwidth is defined as the frequency difference between the half-power points on the current-frequency graph. For the parallel LCR circuit, it acts as a rejector circuit that minimizes current at the anti-resonant frequency.

Engineering Physics Laboratory – PHY119

Experiment Number – 8

AIM: To plot a graph between current and frequency in series and


parallel LCR circuit and to find the resonant frequency, quality factor
and bandwidth.
Learning Objective:

1. To Plot a graph between Current and Frequency


in series and parallel circuit

2. To find the resonant frequency, Quality factor, and


Band Width of the designed series LCR circuit.
Apparatus Required:

1. AC power source,
2. Capacitor,
3. Inductor,
4. Resistor,
5. Ammeter,
6. connection wire etc.
For Series LCR Circuit:

Resonance: Under certain conditions, the voltage and current are in


phase, even though the circuit consists of L , C and R and the circuit
behaves as a pure resistor.
Single frequency known as resonant frequency.

At Resonance: Capacitive reactance( Xc = 1/ωC) and the Inductive


Reactance( XL = ωL) are equal and opposite in direction.
For Series LCR Circuit:
For Series LCR Circuit:
To compare sharpness of
resonance, a band of
frequencies is chosen at which
the current falls to 0.707 times
(half power points) of its
maximum value.

The frequency difference (f2 – f1)


between the half power points is
called the bandwidth.
For Parallel LCR Circuit:

Rejector circuit: It rejects the current or allows minimum current to


flow through it, at a particular (anti- resonant ) frequency and it allows
more current at all other frequencies. So the circuit is not selective.
