Q

Explain what is meant by series resonance in a LCR Circuit

A

Due to the Capacitor and inductor connected in series there will be a frequency where the current increases to a peak value.

17
Q

Explain the conditions needed for a LCR circuit to be at resonance

A

Impedance of Inductor = Impedance of Capacitor

therefore
V(inductor) = V(Capacitor)
V(resistor) =V(supply)

18
Q

How do you derive the formula that calculates the frequency for resonance of a series RLC Circuit?

A
19
Q

Explain why Apparent Power is equal to true Power at resonance of a series RLC Circuit?

A

Reactive Components cancel out at resonance
Phasor sum of 0 and True power = True power

20
Q

Draw the Phase Diagram of an LCR Circuit

A
21
Q

What is Q Factor

A

Ratio of Reactive Power in Capacitor or inductor

and average power in the Resistor

22
Q

What does a High Q Factor imply

What does a Low Q imply

A

Sharp Resonance Peak with Narrow Width

Broad Resonance Peak with wide Width

23
Q

What is Q Factor in terms of energy

A

Ratio of Energy stored in the Circuit

and the energy dissipated per cycle

24
Q

How does Q Factor Impact the damping of the transient state

A

High Q factor means the circuit is less damped

Sustains oscillations for a longer period of time

Low Q factor means the circuit is more damped

Oscillations Decay More Quickly

25
Q

Derive an Equation for Q Factor in terms of Resistance Inductance and Capacitance

A
26
Q

Explain why care must be taken with RLC circuits at resonance

A

Voltage across inductor and capacitor is the same

Both can go much higher then the voltage supply at resonance

27
Q

What is another formula for Q Factor in terms of bandwidth

A
28
Q

What is the Bandwidth in a LCR circuit

How do you calculate the bandwidth.

A

the difference between the two values of apparent power that equal 1/2 of the power of the resonant peak.

Reduce the current by a factor of root(2), or reduce impedance by a factor of root(2)

29
Q

Derive how to calculate Bandwith from an RLC Circuit.

A
30
Q

Draw a Bandpass Filter using a Capacitor and inductor

A
31
Q

Draw a bandstop filter using a capacitor and inductor

What does a band stop do?

A

Sharp decrease of current near a specific frequency

32
Q

How do you calculate the Voltage across a Band pass filter made from Capacitors and Inductors

A
33
Q

Draw a Tank Circuit

Explain the what happens

A

Capacitor charges Up

Capacitor discharges

Inductor magnetic field strength increases, applied in the opposing direction to current flow

The inductor magnetic field applies to oppose the current dropping to zero, in turn charging the capacitor .

Capacitor discharges , but sending current in the opposite direction to as before.

Repeat Steps 3,4

This whole process then repeats

34
Q

What happens to a tank circuit at resonance

A

it draws no current for the power supply

effectively becoming a brick wall. where no current can pass through

Infinite resistance
