EXPERIMENT NO: 07
Study of a Parallel Resonant Circuit and Its Characteristics

OBJECTIVE
In this experiment, supply frequency of a parallel R-L-C circuit will be varied and the
variation of voltage across the output terminal (resistance or inductance or capacitance),
and the phase difference between voltage and current will be plotted against the
frequency to study resonance.

THEORY

Resonance may be defined as a condition in a physical system when a fixed amplitude


sinusoidal function produces a response of maximum amplitude. In case of a parallel
resonant circuit, the response is the voltage and the resonance occurs when the circuit
has maximum voltage amplitude. This condition can be achieved at a frequency at which
the inductive reactance and the capacitive reactance become equal. The frequency at
which resonance occurs is called resonant frequency fr and is given by
1
fr =
2 LC
The other important parameters of the resonant circuits are the two corner frequencies,
the band width, and the quality factor. The corner frequencies are defined as the
frequencies at which the voltage amplitude becomes (1/2)×maximum amplitude.

PROCEDURE

1. Set the signal generator amplitude to 5V and the frequency to 500 Hz.
2. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig. 02 with oscilloscope channel-1 across the
source voltage and channel-2 across the capacitance. Channel-1 effectively
shows the input current wave shape for Fig. 01 with a magnitude (Vm) of
current magnitude (Im) multiplied by resistance.
3. Slowly increase the frequency of the signal generator. Observe the variation of
both channel signals in oscilloscope.
4. At the beginning channel-2 (channel across capacitance) will lead channel-1
(channel across voltage source). With the increase of frequency, channel-2
amplitude will gradually increase and the phase difference between the two
signals will decrease.
5. Continue on increasing the frequency of signal generator. At one point,
channel-2 will be of approximately same amplitude as of channel-1 and in
phase. Read the frequency from oscilloscope and write it down. This is the
resonant frequency.
6. Measure the peak voltage across the capacitance and record it as VCR.
7. Keep the amplitude of the signal generator constant. Reduce the frequency of
the signal generator gradually. At one point, channel-2 amplitude will be 0.707
times VCR. Record the frequency value displayed on signal generator. This is
the lower cutoff frequency.
8. Increase the signal generator frequency and cross the resonant frequency.
Continue on increasing frequency. Channel-2 amplitude will start to decrease
when you cross the resonant frequency. At one point, channel-2 amplitude will
be 0.707 times VCR. Record the frequency value displayed on signal generator.
This is the higher cutoff frequency.

PRE-LAB

1. Theoretically calculate the resonant, the lower cutoff and the higher cutoff
frequencies of the circuit shown in Fig. 01.

REPORT

1. From Fig. 01, theoretically calculate the resonant, the lower cutoff, and the higher
cutoff frequencies and compare them with the measured values.

2. From Fig. 01, theoretically calculate  and V at the resonant, at the lower cutoff,
and at the higher cutoff frequencies and compare them with the measured values.
Also state whether the circuit is resistive, inductive or capacitive in each case. Use
Im = Vm/R in Fig. 01.
