Et Lab 1.3 RLC

This document describes an experiment to study the behavior of a series RLC circuit. The procedure connects the circuit as shown in the diagram and takes measurements of current (I), voltage across resistor (VR), inductor (VL), and capacitor (VC) at different resistor settings and capacitance values. Observations are recorded in a table. The discussion questions whether the phase angle θ is constant, compares the wattmeter reading to the product of IV cos θ, and discusses series resonance and the possibility of a voltage drop across an energy storage element being greater than the supply voltage.

1. Connect the circuit as shown in the diagram.


2. Adjust the rheostat for maximum resistance and the auto transformer to
the position of zero-output voltage and switch on the supply.
3. Adjust the voltage across the circuit to about 70 V and note I, , , ,
and W.
4. Adjust the rheostat for several settings and repeat step 3.
5. Adjust the rheostat to the maximum setting and change the capacitance
to 140 μF and repeat step 4.
6. Compare the values of phase angle as obtained from the meter
readings and from the phasor diagrams. (From the phasor diagrams
compute cos θ and θ as given in the last two columns of the table). Draw
phasor diagrams showing , , , , for different sets of readings.

DISCUSSION:

1. Do you expect θ to be a constant? Is it so as per your experiment? Why?


2. Is IVR equal to W? Compare the difference of wattmeter reading W with

IV cos θ for a few readings and give your comments.

3. Discuss the phenomenon of series resonance in an electrical circuit.


4. Is it possible to have a voltage drop across the energy storage element
greater than the supply?
