ACTIVITY NO. 5
Series RLC Circuit
INTRODUCTION
Linear circuit elements — resistors, capacitors, and inductors — are the backbone of
electrical and electronic circuits. These three types of elements respond to electrical voltages in
different ways, variously consuming, storing, or supplying electrical energy. Understanding these
behaviors and learning to calculate the result of combining elements is critical for designing and
working with electric circuits. While a resistor consumes electrical energy, converting it to heat,
capacitors and inductors vary their responses according to the frequency of the voltage or current
applied to them. This laboratory will explore those responses for series-connected capacitors.
