1.1 OBJECTIVE: STUDY OF PHENOMENON OF RESONANCE IN RLC SERIES CIRCUIT AND
OBTAIN RESONANT FREQUENCY.
1.2 APPARATUS REQIRED: Audio frequency function generator, R-L-C resonance kit,
connecting Wires.
1.3 THEORY: In the series resonance circuit, the net reactance:
X=XL-XC
So impedance of the circuit is:
Z=√(R2 + (XL-XC )2 )
at the resonance frequency the capacitive reactance becomes equal to the inductive reactance.
XL = XC
wrL = 1/wrC
where,
wr = 2πfr
fr = 1/2π√LC
Function Generator: A function generator is a device that can produce various patterns of
Voltage at a variable of frequencies and amplitudes. It is used to test the response of circuits to
common input signals. The electrical leads from the device are attached to the ground and signal
input terminals of the device under test.
• Most function generators allow the user to choose the shape of the output from a small number
of options.
• Square wave - The signal goes directly from high to low voltage.
• Sine wave - The signal curves like a sinusoid from high to low voltage.
• Triangle wave - The signal goes from high to low voltage at a fixed rate.
• The amplitude control on a function generator varies the voltage difference between the high and
low voltage of the output signal.
• The direct current (DC) offset control on a function generator varies the average voltage of a
signal relative to the ground.
• The frequency control of a function generator controls the rate at which output signal oscillates
on some function generators, the frequency control is a combination of different controls.
• One set of controls chooses the broad frequency range (order of magnitude) and the other selects
the precise frequency. This allows the function generator to handle the enormous variation in
frequency scale needed for signals.
