FREQUENCY RESPONSE OF A SERIES RLC NETWORK.

Define and explain the following.

1. Variation of Capacitive and Inductive Reactance with frequency.

The graph of inductive reactance against frequency is a straight line linear curve. The inductive
reactance value of an inductor increases linearly as the frequency across it increases. Therefore,
inductive reactance is positive and is directly proportional to frequency ( XL ∝ ƒ )

The graph of capacitive reactance against frequency is a hyperbolic curve. The Reactance value
of a capacitor has a very high value at low frequencies but quickly decreases as the frequency
across it increases. Therefore, capacitive reactance is negative and is inversely proportional to
frequency ( XC ∝ ƒ -1 )

1. Resonance and derive relation for Resonance frequency

In a series RLC circuit there becomes a frequency point were the inductive reactance of the
inductor becomes equal in value to the capacitive reactance of the capacitor. In other
words, XL = XC. The point at which this occurs is called the Resonant Frequency point, ( ƒr ) of
the circuit, and as we are analysing a series RLC circuit this resonance frequency
produces a Series Resonance.

2 Series resonance and its importance

series resonance occurs in an AC circuit when the two reactances which are opposite and
equal cancel each other out as XL = XC and the point on the graph at which this happens is
were the two reactance curves cross each other.
importance
in series resonance XL and Xc cancel out each other and net reactance of the Xl and xc
is zero .The high value of current at resonance produces very high values of voltage across
the inductor and capacitor respectively
Series resonance circuits are useful for constructing highly frequency selective filter
