Constructing Circuit 3 (Series RLC)

Voltage and Current in an AC circuit:


The complex impedance in an AC circuit is represented by Z and expressed in Cartesian form by the
formula:
where the
real part of impedance is the resistance R and the imaginary part is the
reactance X.
Impedance can also be expressed in magnitude and phase form: , where θ is the phase difference
between the voltage and the current. The magnitude of the impedance can be expressed as:

and the phase can be expressed as: .


It follows, then, that since Ohm’s Law is true for AC circuits, the current flow caused by a voltage V can be
given by:

Here, VS is the source voltage, IS the source current and


VR, VL and VC the voltages across the resistor, inductor
and capacitor respectively. The complex voltage across
any of the components can be found using the voltage
divider rule. The phase relations of the voltages
mentioned can be expressed by the phasor diagram in
Figure B.1.2:

Fig.B.1.1: Series RLC circuit

We can see that VL and VC are both 90° out of phase with the
circuit current IS, and and out of phase with the source
voltage respectively. We can also see that the voltage across the
resistor is always in phase with the current through the resistor,
which, in this case, is the source current. θL

Explanation of the phasor diagrams:

In the phasor diagram of RC circuit, VR leads from the source by


56.16° whereas, VC lags from the source by 35.28°. Thus, VR
leads VC by 90°. There was a little error in our experiment which
is why we get 91.4° when we add our angle but theoretically its
90°.

In the phasor diagram of RL circuit, VL leads from the source by


18° and VR lags from the source by 72°. Theoretically, VL leads
VR by 90° which is proven by adding the angles we got from the
experiment. We had no errors in the RL circuit as the angle
matches the theoretical angle.

In the phasor diagram of RLC circuit, VL leads from the source by


36°, VR lags from the source by 54° and VC lags from the source
by 144°. Theoretically VL leads VR by 90° and we can prove that
by adding the angles 36° and 54°. Also theoretically, VR leads VC
by 90° which is proved by subtracting 54° from 144°. The
magnitude of VL-C is found out by subtracting the magnitude of
VL from VC.
Discussion:
In this experiment we have analyzed the relationship between the voltage
and the phase angle of reactive elements and the source in series RC, RL
and RLC circuits. First of all, we have built those circuits in Multisim software.
Then we have measured the peak voltage across all the elements using
measure operation and the time difference delta from those circuits using
cursor operation in the Tektronix oscilloscope. After measuring these
variables, we have calculated the phase angle by Θ= ΔT x f x 360. Lastly,
we have drawn the phase diagram to determine which elements are leading
and which elements are lagging to finish the experiment.
