RESONANCE IN R-L-C SERIES CIRCUIT
Let us consider as R-L-C series circuit We know that the impedance in R-L-C series circuit is Where =2 π fL & = Such a circuit shown in figure is connected to an a.c . source of constant supply voltage V but having variable frequency. The frequency can be varied from zero, increasing and approaching infinity.
Since and are functions of frequency, at a particular frequency of the applied voltage, and will became equal in magnitude. Since - = The circuit, when and hence , is said to be in resonance. I n a series circuit current I remains the same throughout we can write,
i.e. So, at resonance will cancel out each other. the supply voltage . The entire supply voltage will drop across the resistor R
Resonant frequency At resonance ( is the resonant frequency) Where L is the inductance in henry, C is the capacitanc e in farad and the resonant frequency in Hz
Under resonance condition the net reactance is zero . Hence the impedance of the circuit. This is the minimum possible value of impedance. Hence, circuit current is maximum for the given value of R and its value is given by The circuit behaves like a pure resistive circuit because net reactance is zero . So, the current is in phase with applied voltage .obviously, the power factor of the circuit is unity under resonance condition. as current is maximum it produces large voltage drop across L and C.
Voltage across the inductance at resonance is given by At resonance, the current the current flowing in the circuit is equal to
Similarly voltage across capacitance at resonance is given by Thus voltage drop across L and C are equal and many times the applied voltage. Hence voltage magnification occurs at the resonance condition.so series resonance condition is often refers to as voltage resonance.
Q-FACTOR IN R-L-C SERIES CIRCUIT Q-FACTOR: In case of R-L-C series circuit Q-Factor is defined as the voltage magnification of the circuit at resonance. Current at resonance is given by And voltage across inductance or capacitor is given by = OR Voltage magnification = voltage across L or C /applied voltage OR OR
Thus Q-factor
Effects of series resonance When a series in R-L-C circuit attains resonance i.e., the next reactance of the circuit is zero. the impedance of the circuit is minimum. Since Z is minimum, will be minimum. Since I is maximum, the power dissipated would be maximum . Since , . the supply voltage is in phase with the supply current
RESONANCE IN R-L-C PARALLEL CIRCUIT
In R-L-C series circuit electrical resonance takes place when the voltage across the inductance is equal to the voltage across the capacitance. Alternatively, resonance takes place when the power factor of the circuit becomes unity. this i s the basic condition of resonance. It remains the same for parallel circuits also .thus resonance will occur in parallel circuit when the power factor of the entire circuit becomes unity . let us consider R-L-C parallel circuit
For parallel circuit, the applied voltage is taken as reference phasor. The current drawn an inductive coil lags the applied voltage by an phase angle . The current drawn by capacitor leads the applied voltage by 90 . Now power factor of the entire circuit is in phase with the applied voltage. This will happen when the current drawn by the capacitive branch, equals to the reactive component of current of inductive branch.
Hence the resonance takes place the necessary condition is ……………(1) Current in a capacitive branch, and ………...(2) Current in inductive branch, Where = impedance of the inductive branch angle of lag and Now …………….(3)
Now substituting the equations 2 and 3 in equation 1,we get
Where is a resonant frequency in Hertz. The expression is different from that of series circuit. However if the resistance (R) of the coil is negligible the expression of resonant frequency reduces to
From the phasor diagram it is clear that, the current in the inductive and capacitive branches may be many times greater then the resultant current under the condition of resonance. As the reactive component is 0 under resonance condition in order to satisfy the condition of unity power factor, the resultant current is minimum under this condition. From the above, it is observed that the current taken from the supply can be greatly magnified by means of a parallel resonant circuit. This current magnification is termed as Q-factor of the circuit.
At resonance the resultant current drawn by parallel circuit is in phase with the applied voltage. resultant current But under the condition of resonance Resultant current
Thus the impedance offered by a parallel resonant circuit . This impedance is purely resistive and generally known as equivalent or dynamic impedance of the circuit.as the current at resonance is minimum, the dynamic impedance represents the maximum impedance offered by the circuit at resonance . So the parallel circuit is consider as a condition of maximum impedance or minimum admittance. The current at resonance is minimum , hence the circuit is sometimes called as rejecter circuit because it rejects that frequency to which it resonant. The phenomenon of resonance is parallel circuits is of great importance because it forms the basis of tuned circuits in electronics.
