Introduction
The purpose of this experiment:
Draw graphs to show the relationship between the impedance Z and the
frequency & mesure the phase shift.
RLC Series :
An RLC series circuit is a resistor, capacitor, and inductor series combination across
an ac source, The same current flows through each element of an RLC series circuit at
all points in time.
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.
in resonant series RLC circuit, the opposition to the flow of current is due to
resistance only. At resonance, the total impedance of series RLC circuit is equal to
resistance 𝑍 = 𝑅 , impedance has only real part but no imaginary part and this
impedance at resonant frequency is called dynamic impedance and this dynamic
impedance is always less than impedance of series RLC circuit.

Procedure:
- Connect the RLC series circuit :
turn on the function generator on 2𝑉, and set the frequency to 1𝐾𝐻𝑧 .
connect the multimeter to determine the voltage of resistor.

repeat that with change frequency between 2𝐾𝐻𝑧 , 3𝐾𝐻𝑧 and 4𝐾𝐻𝑧.
calculate the result by hand and compare them with the result (Hand

Conclusion
At low frequencies the circuit is inductive, and at high frequencies the circuit is
capacitive.
It is possible for each of the inductor and capacitor have effect depends on the
value of the circuit voltage and the frequency of its output.
