The document describes an experiment to analyze the transient and frequency response of an RLC series circuit. 1) For the transient response, the circuit is arranged to produce underdamped, critically damped, and overdamped responses by varying R. A square wave input is applied and the capacitor voltage response is recorded. Rise time, settling time, and percent overshoot are measured for an underdamped case. Percent overshoot vs damping coefficient is plotted. 2) For the frequency response, the voltages across R, L, and C are measured from 50Hz to 5kHz. Gain and phase response vs frequency are plotted on semi-log graph paper for various damping coefficients. Peak gain and frequency are measured

Objective:

- Transient and frequency response of R-L-C series Circuit.

( I ) Transient Response;
Consider the circuit given below;

FG = Function Generator

The above R, L, C series circuit forms a second order system. The response to step (voltage)
input should be typical of second order system.
The circuit may be arranged for under damping, critical damping and over damping by varying
R; choose different values of R to give normalized damping co-efficient . Instead of a step
voltage a square wave voltage is applied to the circuit. The transient response that is the
voltage build up in the capacitor is recorded on the C R O. Take a trace. For a typical under
damped case find the rise time settling time and the percentage overshoot.
Choose different values of and plot percent overshoot vs. for less than I. (Six values of
-- 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 05, 07 and 0.8 will suffice). Compare with the theoretical values obtained.

( 2 ) Frequency Response:
Use the same RLC series circuit. The natural frequency of oscillation of the system is around
500Hz. Try frequencies from about 50Hz to 5 KHz, space them equally as in a semi-log graph
paper ( / " from 1 to 10)
By using a C.R.O measure voltage V R ,V L ,VC ;V R . Is also a measure of the current in the circuit.
Now plot the gain (magnitude and phase) vs. frequency on a semi log graph sheet. The Vin is
kept at a constant level. Try values of as in the case of transient response.
The gain and phase response against frequency will be typical of second order system. Find
M m the maximum gain for each and the frequency at which it occurs. Compare M m with
theoretical obtained values.
