RLC Circuit Response Lab
In this lab, we emphasized modeling and testing of a second order circuit containing two resistors, a capacitor, and an inductor. The step response of the given circuit was analyzed and tested. The measured response of the circuit was compared with expectation values based on the damping ratio and natural frequency of the circuit.
This is the output of our circuit.
Pre-Lab
We know the damping ratio by using α = 1/2RC ω=1/(LC)^1/2 we can then calculate the damping ratio = α/ω.
In Lab
Since the capacitor and inductor in parallel, the damping ratio can be calculate by knowing the X% differently subtracting the voltage changing ratio of times the n is equal to -0.118 which is off a little.
Conclusion: Through this lab we can see how a huge discrepancy between theoretical and experimental values. This shows that what happens on paper doesn't always translate into real world phenomenons.
