Experiment 27: AC Circuits II: LR & LCR Circuits Purpose (1) To study the properties of an AC circuit containing a resistor and an inductor (coil). (2) To observe the basic properties of a series LCR circuit. (3) To observe resonance in an LCR circuit. Apparatus (a) an AC Power Supply; an AC multimeter (b) a sample containing an inductor (coil) (c) two resistors, and a capacitor. Theory Faraday’s Law When an inductor (coil) is inserted in the path of an alternating current (AC), then an induced EMF, εIND , appears across the terminals of the coil, according to Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction. It is commonly called an induced voltage. The instantaneous value of εIND will be here denoted by VL and is expressed by the formula: VL = L · ÎMAX · cos t = L· ÎMAX · sin( t - 2 ) (1) The inductor voltage opposes the change in voltage of the power supply and peaks before the current peaks. We say that the “induced voltage leads the current by 90˚ (or , in radians)” or, 2 alternatively, “the current lags VL by 90˚”. See Fig. 1 and compare it with Fig. 2 in Experiment 26. The parameter L is the inductance of the coil and the quantity Before reading this, make sure you have read and understood the Theory Section in Experiment 26. 137 Experiment 27 XL = · L (2) is the inductive reactance of the coil. If L is measured in henries (SI unit for inductance) and in hertz, then XL is in ohms. Employing the RMS values (see Exp. 26), the RMS voltage across the inductor is: VRMS = IRMS XL (3) (Compare with equations (6) and (7) in Exp. 26.) The Phasor Diagram of an LR Series Circuit The principles of the phasor diagrams were explained in Exp. 26. The phasor diagram for a coil and a resistor connected in series is shown in Fig. 2, together with relevant formulae (4). Important Note: As well as its reactance, a coil also has a resistance R´ which creates an additional voltage VR' = R´i across the coil. This voltage is in phase with the current, so that it lags VL by 90º. What a voltmeter connected across a coil actually measures is the phasor sum of the RMS magnitudes of VL and VR' - that is the quantity VLR2 = VL2 + VR'2 (4a) rather than VL. However, if VR' is much smaller than VL then the voltmeter essentially measures VL . 138 Experiment 27 The LCR Series Circuit When a coil, a capacitor, and a resistor are connected (in that order) in series, then Fig. 3 applies: Relevant formulae are VLCR = VR2 + (VL – VC) 2 tan ØLCR = VL – VC VR (5) It is also customary to define: XL – XC XTOTAL = ZTOTAL = R2 + XTOTAL 2 = TOTAL REACTANCE = TOTAL IMPEDANCE (6) and the following formulae then hold: I = VLCR ZTOTAL tan ØLCR = XTOTAL R (7) Resonance. The total reactance XTOTAL = XL – XC = L – 1 C depends on frequency f (recall: = 2πf ). (8) When the frequency happens to be f RES = 1 2π LC (9) then XTOTAL = 0 and the circuit is in resonance with the applied frequency. 139 Experiment 27 Procedure Part I. The LR Circuit a) With the AC power supply unplugged and OFF, set up a circuit as in Fig. 4, using resistance R1 ~ 4,000Ω from your sample. Record its exact value. You should know how to use the AC power supply and the AC multimeter from Exp.26 but, if you do not, check with your instructor. Set the frequency at f 1 = 2,000 hertz and record. Prepare your multimeter to read the 10 volt AC scale. b) Upon your instructor’s approval, turn ON the power, and adjust the output voltage between 9.80 and 9.95 volts (or your maximum voltage if you cannot reach 9.80 V). Record this as VOUT to the accuracy of 0.05 V. c) Measure and record the voltages VL and VR across the coil and the resistor separately. Measure and record the voltage VLR across both of them together to 0.05 volt accuracy. Return the output voltage knob to MINIMUM POSITION. d) Change the frequency to f 2 = 4,000 hertz and record. Re-adjust VOUT to be between 9.80 and 9.95 volts and record the exact value. Repeat (c) above. e) Repeat (d) above with f 3 = 6,000 hertz. Procedure Part II. The LCR Circuit f) With the power OFF, assemble a circuit as in Fig. 5, carefully observing the sequence L-C-R. Use the resistance R2 ~ 1,000Ω from your sample and record its exact value. Set f = 2,000 hertz and record. g) Upon your instructor’s approval turn ON the power. Engage your voltmeter (using the same 10 V scale) across the inductor (NOT the output voltage, as always before!) and adjust VL to be between 9.80 and 9.95 volts (or your maximum value). Record the exact value of VL. h) Measure and record VL , VC , VR , and VLCR (as in Fig.3) to 0.05 volt accuracy. 140 Experiment 27 Procedure Part III. Resonance i) With your circuit the same as in (f) above, start with the output voltage at the MINIMUM. Set f = 1,000 hertz and engage the voltmeter to measure VLC (the total voltage across the LC combination). Slowly increase power until VLC is about 8.5 volts. Next, slowly increase the frequency. You will notice that VLC will be decreasing until it reaches a minimum at some frequency fVLCmin. Record the value of fVLCmin and also the minimum value of VLC . j) Use the same set-up as in (i) above (start with MINIMUM VOUT) but now engage the voltmeter to measure VR. Slowly increase power until VR is about 5 volts (NO MORE!). Next, increase f and watch VR increasing, until a maximum is reached at some frequency fVRmax. Record fVRmax and the maximum value of VR . Also record VOUT in this situation. BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE LAB: Make sure that you have recorded the values of L, C, and R′, marked on your samples and the values of resistances and frequencies which you personally used. Unplug and turn OFF the AC power supply and leave your station in order. 141 Experiment 27 Lab Report Part I.

Resonance. 6) Show the average (=arithmetical mean value) of frequencies f ′ and f ˝ from your measurements. Compare this value with the formula (18), by displaying the % discrepancy (use the given values of L and C as the basis). 7) Answer the questions: Question #1: What is the RMS value of the current in your LCR circuit at the resonance frequency? Question #2: Should VL and VC be equal at resonance frequency (explain why “yes” or “no”). Question #3: In your particular experiment (with the parameters you had), can the value of R′ be ignored (explain why “yes” or “no”). 143
