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.

Observation and Conclusion:


Describe what happens to the current in this RLC series circuit as the frequency
increases. Explain in general terms why the observed change should occur.
As the frequency increases, XL also increases, but XC decreases. On the other hand, the value of
XL is directly proportional at a given frequency while the XC is inversely proportional.
Furthermore, the circuit is capacitive when it has the lowest frequency but then again; when the
highest frequency reaches the circuit becomes inductive, it represents what we called the
resonant frequency where a certain frequency at which the impedance in a circuit becomes
purely resistive.

Simulation:
Frequency = 500Hz

Frequency = 1000Hz
Frequency = 2000Hz

Frequency = 4000Hz
Frequency = 8000Hz
