An RLC circuit is an electrical circuit consisting of a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C), connected in series or in parallel. The name of the circuit is derived from the letters that are used to denote the constituent components of this circuit, where the sequence of the components may vary from RLC.

441-447: A conversion factor. A more general measure of bandwidth is the fractional bandwidth, which expresses the bandwidth as a fraction of the resonance frequency and is given by The fractional bandwidth is also often stated as a percentage. The damping of filter circuits is adjusted to result in the required bandwidth. A narrow band filter, such as a notch filter , requires low damping. A wide band filter requires high damping.

#1732765516925588-440: A lossless LC circuit – that is, one with no resistor present. The resonant frequency for a driven RLC circuit is the same as a circuit in which there is no damping, hence undamped resonant frequency. The resonant frequency peak amplitude, on the other hand, does depend on the value of the resistor and is described as the damped resonant frequency. A highly damped circuit will fail to resonate at all, when not driven. A circuit with

735-402: A narrow frequency range from ambient radio waves. In this role, the circuit is often referred to as a tuned circuit. An RLC circuit can be used as a band-pass filter , band-stop filter , low-pass filter or high-pass filter . The tuning application, for instance, is an example of band-pass filtering. The RLC filter is described as a second-order circuit, meaning that any voltage or current in
784-417: A single sinusoid with phase shift, The underdamped response is a decaying oscillation at frequency ω d . The oscillation decays at a rate determined by the attenuation α . The exponential in α describes the envelope of the oscillation. B 1 and B 2 (or B 3 and the phase shift φ in the second form) are arbitrary constants determined by boundary conditions. The frequency ω d
833-420: A tuning fork will carry on ringing after it has been struck, and the effect is often called ringing. This effect is the peak natural resonance frequency of the circuit and in general is not exactly the same as the driven resonance frequency, although the two will usually be quite close to each other. Various terms are used by different authors to distinguish the two, but resonance frequency unqualified usually means
882-586: A value of resistor that causes it to be just on the edge of ringing is called critically damped . Either side of critically damped are described as underdamped (ringing happens) and overdamped (ringing is suppressed). Circuits with topologies more complex than straightforward series or parallel (some examples described later in the article) have a driven resonance frequency that deviates from ω 0 = 1 / L C {\displaystyle \ \omega _{0}=1/{\sqrt {L\,C~}}\ } , and for those
931-458: Is The critically damped response represents the circuit response that decays in the fastest possible time without going into oscillation. This consideration is important in control systems where it is required to reach the desired state as quickly as possible without overshooting. D 1 and D 2 are arbitrary constants determined by boundary conditions. The series RLC can be analyzed for both transient and steady AC state behavior using
980-465: Is a widespread measure used to characterise resonators. It is defined as the peak energy stored in the circuit divided by the average energy dissipated in it per radian at resonance. Low- Q circuits are therefore damped and lossy and high- Q circuits are underdamped and prone to amplitude extremes if driven at the resonant frequency. Q is related to bandwidth; low- Q circuits are wide-band and high- Q circuits are narrow-band. In fact, it happens that Q
1029-446: Is at a minimum. Equivalently, it can be defined as the frequency at which the impedance is purely real (that is, purely resistive). This occurs because the impedances of the inductor and capacitor at resonant are equal but of opposite sign and cancel out. Circuits where L and C are in parallel rather than series actually have a maximum impedance rather than a minimum impedance. For this reason they are often described as antiresonators ; it

#17327655169251078-442: Is defined as the ratio of these two; although, sometimes ζ is not used, and α is referred to as damping factor instead; hence requiring careful specification of one's use of that term. In the case of the series RLC circuit, the damping factor is given by The value of the damping factor determines the type of transient that the circuit will exhibit. The differential equation has the characteristic equation , The roots of
1127-451: Is given by This is called the damped resonance frequency or the damped natural frequency. It is the frequency the circuit will naturally oscillate at if not driven by an external source. The resonance frequency, ω 0 , which is the frequency at which the circuit will resonate when driven by an external oscillation, may often be referred to as the undamped resonance frequency to distinguish it. The critically damped response ( ζ = 1 )
1176-418: Is measured in nepers per second. However, the unitless damping factor (symbol ζ , zeta) is often a more useful measure, which is related to α by The special case of ζ = 1 is called critical damping and represents the case of a circuit that is just on the border of oscillation. It is the minimum damping that can be applied without causing oscillation. The resonance effect can be used for filtering,

1323-409: Is still usual, however, to name the frequency at which this occurs as the resonant frequency. The resonance frequency is defined in terms of the impedance presented to a driving source. It is still possible for the circuit to carry on oscillating (for a time) after the driving source has been removed or it is subjected to a step in voltage (including a step down to zero). This is similar to the way that
1372-843: Is the inverse of fractional bandwidth Q factor is directly proportional to selectivity , as the Q factor depends inversely on bandwidth. For a series resonant circuit ( as shown below ), the Q factor can be calculated as follows: where X {\displaystyle \,X\,} is the reactance either of L {\displaystyle \,L\,} or of C {\displaystyle \,C\,} at resonance, and Z o ≡ L C . {\displaystyle \,Z_{\text{o}}\equiv {\sqrt {{\frac {L}{\,C\,}}\,}}\;.} The parameters ζ , B f , and Q are all scaled to ω 0 . This means that circuits which have similar parameters share similar characteristics regardless of whether or not they are operating in
1421-440: Is the need to take into account inductor resistance. Inductors are typically constructed from coils of wire, the resistance of which is not usually desirable, but it often has a significant effect on the circuit. An important property of this circuit is its ability to resonate at a specific frequency, the resonance frequency , f 0 . Frequencies are measured in units of hertz . In this article, angular frequency , ω 0 ,
1470-405: Is used because it is more mathematically convenient. This is measured in radians per second. They are related to each other by a simple proportion, Resonance occurs because energy for this situation is stored in two different ways: in an electric field as the capacitor is charged and in a magnetic field as current flows through the inductor. Energy can be transferred from one to the other within
1519-685: The Laplace transform . If the voltage source above produces a waveform with Laplace-transformed V ( s ) (where s is the complex frequency s = σ + jω ), the KVL can be applied in the Laplace domain: where I ( s ) is the Laplace-transformed current through all components. Solving for I ( s ) : And rearranging, we have Solving for the Laplace admittance Y ( s ) : Simplifying using parameters α and ω 0 defined in

1568-415: The transient response of the circuit will die away after the stimulus has been removed. Neper occurs in the name because the units can also be considered to be nepers per second, neper being a logarithmic unit of attenuation. ω 0 is the angular resonance frequency. For the case of the series RLC circuit these two parameters are given by: A useful parameter is the damping factor , ζ , which
1617-417: The circuit and this can be oscillatory. A mechanical analogy is a weight suspended on a spring which will oscillate up and down when released. This is no passing metaphor; a weight on a spring is described by exactly the same second order differential equation as an RLC circuit and for all the properties of the one system there will be found an analogous property of the other. The mechanical property answering to
1666-437: The circuit can be described by a second-order differential equation in circuit analysis. The three circuit elements, R, L and C, can be combined in a number of different topologies . All three elements in series or all three elements in parallel are the simplest in concept and the most straightforward to analyse. There are, however, other arrangements, some with practical importance in real circuits. One issue often encountered
1715-432: The circuit has fallen to half the value passed at resonance. There are two of these half-power frequencies, one above, and one below the resonance frequency where Δ ω is the bandwidth, ω 1 is the lower half-power frequency and ω 2 is the upper half-power frequency. The bandwidth is related to attenuation by where the units are radians per second and nepers per second respectively. Other units may require
1764-450: The circuit solves in three different ways depending on the value of ζ . These are overdamped ( ζ > 1 ), underdamped ( ζ < 1 ), and critically damped ( ζ = 1 ). The overdamped response ( ζ > 1 ) is The overdamped response is a decay of the transient current without oscillation. The underdamped response ( ζ < 1 ) is By applying standard trigonometric identities the two trigonometric functions may be expressed as
1813-417: The driven resonance frequency. The driven frequency may be called the undamped resonance frequency or undamped natural frequency and the peak frequency may be called the damped resonance frequency or the damped natural frequency. The reason for this terminology is that the driven resonance frequency in a series or parallel resonant circuit has the value. This is exactly the same as the resonance frequency of
1862-407: The equation above yields: For the case where the source is an unchanging voltage, taking the time derivative and dividing by L leads to the following second order differential equation: This can usefully be expressed in a more generally applicable form: α and ω 0 are both in units of angular frequency . α is called the neper frequency , or attenuation , and is a measure of how fast
1911-486: The equation in s -domain are, The general solution of the differential equation is an exponential in either root or a linear superposition of both, The coefficients A 1 and A 2 are determined by the boundary conditions of the specific problem being analysed.

Both band-pass and band-stop filters can be constructed and some filter circuits are shown later in the article. A key parameter in filter design is bandwidth . The bandwidth is measured between the cutoff frequencies , most frequently defined as the frequencies at which the power passed through
2156-408: The resistor in the circuit is friction in the spring–weight system. Friction will slowly bring any oscillation to a halt if there is no external force driving it. Likewise, the resistance in an RLC circuit will "damp" the oscillation, diminishing it with time if there is no driving AC power source in the circuit. The resonant frequency is defined as the frequency at which the impedance of the circuit

2401-413: The undamped resonance frequency, damped resonance frequency and driven resonance frequency can all be different. Damping is caused by the resistance in the circuit. It determines whether or not the circuit will resonate naturally (that is, without a driving source). Circuits that will resonate in this way are described as underdamped and those that will not are overdamped. Damping attenuation (symbol α )
