Understanding the concept of oscillations of the LCR circuit

An electrical circuit composed of a resistor, a capacitor, and an inductor, connected in series, is known as an LCR circuit. The given circuit will become a series LR circuit when we remove the capacitor. Therefore, the impedance will only depend on resistance and inductive reactance. Using their values, we can find the impedance and phase angle. Using impedance, we can find the amplitude of the current.

The impedance of theLRcircuit for the driving frequency (ωd),

Z=R2+XL2 ...(1)

The inductive reactance of the inductor,

XL=ωdL ...(2)

The angular frequency of the LC oscillation,

ωd=2πfd ...(3)

The phase angle of RLC circuit,

tanϕ=XLR ...(4)

The current equation using Ohm’s law,

I=εmZ ...(5)

Here,Ris the resistance of the resistor, Lis the inductance of the inductor andfdis the frequency of the LC oscillation.

03

a) Calculation of the impedance value

Driving angular frequency is given using equation (3) as:

wd=2πfd

Forfd=60Hz, we get-

ωd=2π×60Hz=377.0rad/s

Now, the inductive reactance is given using equation (2) as follows:

XL=ωdL

XL=377.0rad/s×230×10-3H=86.7Ω

Thus, the impedance for LR circuit is given using equation (1) as follows: (for Xc=0)

Z=200Ω2+86.7Ω2=217.9Ω218Ω

Hence, the value of the impedance is 218Ω.

04

b) Calculation of the phase angle

From part (a) calculations, we get thatXc=0

Now, the phase angle can be given using equation (4) as follows:

localid="1662809694382" tanϕ=86.7Ω-0200Ω=23.41°

Hence, the value of the phase is 23.41°.

05

c) Calculation of the current amplitude

The current amplitude is given using equation (5) as follows:

I=εmZ=36.0V218=0.165A

Hence, the value of the current is 0.165A.

06

d) Calculation for the diagram of the phasor

The given circuit is purely inductive. Therefore, εmleads I, and the phase angle is ϕ=23.41°

The phasor diagram is shown below.

Hence, the phasor diagram is plotted accordingly.
