    Proof of an expression concerning an RLC circuit

    where \hat q symbolizes the maximum charge (or peak charge?). I'll continue searching on Google, but until now I have found that expression I've posted here only once, unfortunately. It doesn't seem to be current.

    Proof of an expression concerning an RLC circuit

    Right, this is the differential equation of my RLC circuit: L\ddot q+R\dot q+\frac 1Cq=0 Its solution is the following: q(t)=\hat q\:e^{-\zeta t}\sin\left(\omega t+\varphi_0\right)

    Proof of an expression concerning an RLC circuit

    I'm sorry, but I'm a total newbie regarding electric oscillations and RLC stuff. I don't quite underastand what equations you have in mind. I don't think you meant the differential equation of a damped oscillation, did you? I hope there is no misunderstanding: I believe the expression above is...

    Proof of an expression concerning an RLC circuit

    I don't quite understand... but it seems to be my fault -- I forgot to mention that I'm talking about a series RLC circuit, not a parallel one.

    Proof of an expression concerning an RLC circuit

    Hi, How can you prove that, in a damped RLC circuit, the logarithmic decrement equals the period times the damping factor: \delta=T\zeta (I'm using \delta=\ln\frac{x(t_n)}{x(t_n+T)}\quad \zeta=\frac{R}{2L} ) Thanks in advance!

    Can Oscilloscope Measurements Show Resistance Impact on RLC Circuit Damping?

    Thanks a lot for your answer! The energy loss is \Delta E=Ri^2\Delta t, right? But is there another way (based more on experiments) to show that \zeta\propto R ? I forgot to mention, that we dispose of an oscilloscope. Would it be then correct to say that the damping depends on the...

    Can Oscilloscope Measurements Show Resistance Impact on RLC Circuit Damping?

    Hello, I've got to prepare for a practical session and need some help with a problem: how (by what experiments) can you prove that the damping of a series RLC circuit depends on the value of the resistance (without basing oneself on any knowledge of the damping factor \zeta=\frac{R}{2L})...
