Analysis of RLC Circuits Using MATLAB

This document analyzes the behavior of an RLC parallel circuit as the resistance value is varied using MATLAB. It describes how the resistance affects whether the circuit is overdamped, critically damped, or underdamped. The MATLAB code generates a plot showing how the voltage output changes over time for different resistance values, demonstrating their impact on the circuit response.

9.m-1 Analysis of RLC Circuits Using MATLAB


The purpose of this MATLAB example is to explore the effects of varying the resistance value in the
underdamped parallel RLC circuit analyzed in example 9.7-1 in the textbook. Consider the natural
response of the parallel RLC circuit shown in Figure 9.m-1 The homogeneous second order differential
equation for the voltage across all three elements is given by

Depending on the element values, the circuit will be either overdamped, critically damped, or
underdamped. Suppose the inductance and capacitance values are L = 0.1 H and C = 1 mF with initial
values v n(0) = 10 V and i L(0) = -0.6 A. In order for the circuit to be underdamped, the resistance value
must satisfy

or R > 5 Ohms. When R = 5 Ohms, the circuit is critically damped. We will therefore examine the
behavior of this circuit for resistance values greater than 5 Ohms. We will now explore the solution for v
n(t) for various values of R. Given a value for R, the solution to the underdamped differential equation is
obtained by solving for the exponential coefficient

the resonant angular frequency

the damped resonant angular frequency

and enforcing the initial conditions as shown in example 9.7-1 in the textbook. With R = 25/3 Ohms and
the L and C values given above, the solution for the voltage v n(t) is

(9.m1-3)

as derived in the textbook. Now consider holding the values of L and C constant while varying the value
of R. How does the solution for v n(t) change as the value of R is varied? Figure 9.m-2 shows the
MATLAB output for the output voltage as a function of time for several different resistances. This figure
was generated using the code in Figure 9.m-3
