10. Explain R-L-C series circuit .
Consider ac voltage source V = Vm sin wt connected across the combination of R L and C. When I flowing in the circuit voltage drops across each component as shown below.
VR = IR, VL = I L, VC = I C
- According to the values of Inductive and Capacitive Reactance, I e XL and XC decides the behavior of R-L-C series circuit according to following conditions
① XL> XC, ② XC> XL, ③ XL = XC
① XL > XC: Since we have assumed XL> XC
The voltage drop across XL> than XC
VL> VC A
- Voltage triangle considering condition A
VL and VC are 180 0 out of phase.
Therefore cancel out each other

And Ø = tan-1 –
- Voltage equation : V = Vm Sin wt
- Current equation : i = from B
- i = L+Ø C
As VC the circuit is mostly capacitive and leads voltage by angle Ø
Since i = L + Ø
Sin (wt – Ø) from C
- Power :
- XL= XC (resonance condition):
ɡȴ XL= XC then VL= VC and they are 1800 out of phase with each other they will cancel out each other and their resultant will have zero value.
Hence resultant V = VR and it will be in phase with I as shown in the below phasor diagram.
From the above resultant phasor diagram
V =VR + IR
Or V = I lZl
Because lZl + R
Thus Impedance Z is purely resistive for XL = XC and circuit current will be in phase with source voltage.
Since VR=V Øis zero when XL = XC power is unity
Ie pang = VrmsIrms cos Ø = 1 cos o = 1
Maximum power will be transferred by the condition. XL = XC
