The Series RLC Resonance Circuit Introduction Thus far we have studied a circuit involving a (1) series resistor R and capacitor C circuit as well as a (2) series resistor R and inductor L circuit. In both cases, it was simpler for the actual experiment to replace the battery and switch with a signal generator producing a square wave. The current through and voltage across the resistor and capacitor, and inductor in the circuit were calculated and measured. This lab involves a resistor R, capacitor C, and inductor L all in series with a signal generator and this time is experimentally simpler to use a sine wave that a square wave. Also we will introduce the generalized resistance to AC signals called impedance for capacitors and inductors. The mathematical techniques will use simple properties of complex numbers which have real and imaginary parts. This will allow you to avoid solving differential equations resulting from the Kirchoff loop rule and instead you will be able to solve problems using a generalized Ohms law. This is a significant improvement since Ohms law is an algebraic equation which is much easier to solve than differential equation. Also we will find a new phenomena called resonance in the series RLC circuit. Kirchoffs Loop Rule for a RLC Circuit The voltage, V across an inductor, L is given by L
