    B How can scalars like voltage, impedance, etc. be added like vectors?

    So we learnt about the different types of circuits and their behaviour when connected to an alternating current source. (DC was treated as an AC with 0 frequency and/or infinte time period). For purely inductive and purely capacitive circuits we were shown the derivation and why things are the...

    Voltage theory for an LCR circuit

    Summary:: I say the answer is A because these are reactive components that take and give back energy from the circuit so no voltage drop across the 2- L & C.

    What will the phasor diagram of this LCR circuit looks like?

    I know the current of capacitor and inductor must be parallel but pointing in opposite direction due to the fact they are connected in parallel thus having same voltage (please see attached screenshots). The current of resistor will simply be the sum of these two vectors, but what about its...

    Power consumption in LCR circuit

    If we have a variable frequency AC supply in LCR circuit and when the frequency equals natural frequency the impedence is equal to resistance and the power consumption is purely that of resistive load circuit. Is this true even for other frequencies i.e. do reactance participates in power...

    Problem in understanding analytical solution of LCR circuit

    Hi all, I in my text they first did a phasor-diagram solution to a series LCR circuit and brought Z= under root of (R^2 +(Xc^2-XL^2)). After this they use a differential equation for series LCR circuit and actually did not solve such hard two degree differential equation, rather they...

    Physics Lab, Transient response of LCR circuit, lorentzian curve

    I wasn't exactly paying much attention during our lab, partially because it was right in the middle of midterms and I wanted to solely focus on those. Now it is coming back to bite me as I am not entirely sure how to complete my lab report, or the theory behind the lab really. If you would like...
