Forced Respond

Second ordered equation that has two roots
- ω = -α ±

Where


The current of the network is given by
- A eω1 t + B eω2 t
From above
- When
, there is only one real root
- ω = -α
- When
, there are two real roots
- ω = -α ±

- When
, there are two complex roots
- ω = -α ± j

Resonance Response
At resonance, the impedance of the frequency dependent components cancel out . Therefore the net voltage of the circui is zero
and




At Resonance Frequency
.
. Current is at its maximum value
Further analyse the circuit
- At ω = 0, Capacitor Opened circuit . Therefore, I = 0 .
- At ω = 00, Inductor Opened circuit . Therefore, I = 0 .
With the values of Current at three ω = 0 ,
, 00 we have the plot of I versus ω . From the plot
If current is reduced to halved of the value of peak current
, this current value is stable over a Frequency Band ω1 - ω2 where ω1 = ωo - Δω, ω2 = ωo + Δω
- In RLC series, it is possible to have a band of frequencies where current is stable, ie. current does not change with frequency . For a wide band of frequencies respond, current must be reduced from it's peak value . The more current is reduced, the wider the bandwidth . Therefore, this network can be used as Tuned Selected Band Pass Filter . If tune either L or C to the resonance frequency
. Current is at its maximum value
. Then, adjust the value of R to have a value less than the peak current
by increasing R to have a desired frequency band .
- If R is increased from R to 2R then the current now is
which is stable over a band of frequency
- ω1 - ω2 where
- ω1 = ωo - Δω
- ω2 = ωo + Δω
For value of I <
. The circuit respond to Wide Band of frequencies . For value of
< I >
. The circuit respond to Narrow Band of frequencies
