ENA Lab # 7 (Open Ended Lab)

This document discusses the characteristics of an RLC parallel resonance circuit. It defines that resonance occurs when the inductive reactance equals the capacitive reactance, at a frequency of 1/2π√LC. It notes that in a parallel RLC circuit, the energy oscillates between the inductor and capacitor like a "tank". It instructs the reader to simulate various RLC parallel circuits in LTSPICE, plotting impedance vs frequency and power vs frequency curves to observe the typical "bell curve" resonant peaks. The tasks involve determining component values for different resonant frequencies, analyzing the bandwidth and behavior without resistance.

RLC Parallel Resonance Circuit


In the previous Lab, you have observed the behavior of Series RLC circuit using LTSPICE. In this Lab you

are expected to be able to handle the analysis of RLC parallel circuit and observe its characteristics at

resonance.

Learning Outcomes

 Characteristics of RLC parallel circuit

 Occurrence of resonance in RLC parallel circuit

Brief Discussion

1. As you are already well aware resonance occurs when inductive reaction is equal to capacitive

reactance. The resonance frequency of a second order LC circuit is given by:

1
𝑓𝑟 =
2𝜋√𝐿𝐶

This is the frequency at which the energy oscillates between capacitor and inductor in the circuit. If a

resistor is added to the circuit, a portion of energy is lost in every oscillation, when it passes through

the resistor.

The parallel resonant circuit is also called tank circuit because the inductor and capacitor for a tank in

which the energy keeps oscillating.

2. The bandwidth is the frequency range where the power of the signal becomes half. You can

find the bandwidth from the plot of Power Vs. Frequency.

3. The curves of Voltage and Power Vs. Frequency form bell shaped curves.
Tasks

1. Draw the following circuit in LTSPICE. Calculate the value of capacitor for the resonant frequency

to be 32.5 Hz.

2. Plot Curves of Impedance Vs. Frequency and Power Vs. frequency of the circuit within appropriate

frequency range to clearly show the typical bell curves of the RLC circuit. Show that at resonance

the impedance is maximum, and the power is minimum.

3. From the Power Vs. Frequency Plot, determine the bandwidth of the circuit.

4. What is the behavior of circuit without any resistance?

5. Repeat the above 5 tasks for resonant frequency equal to following:

Lets say your roll no is ABC  Frequency = BC x 10 Hz

Lets say your roll no is AB  Frequency = AB x 10 Hz

Lets say your roll no is A  Frequency = A(A+1) x 10 Hz
