LCR Circuits - Analytical Solution and Resonance
- In this lecture, we will discuss LCR circuits and their analytical solution.
- We will also explore the concept of resonance in LCR circuits.
- Let’s begin!
LCR Circuit Components
A generic LCR circuit consists of:
- L: Inductor (stores energy in a magnetic field)
- C: Capacitor (stores energy in an electric field)
- R: Resistor (dissipates energy as heat)
Behavior of LCR Circuits
- The behavior of an LCR circuit is determined by the values of L, C, and R.
- The circuit can exhibit various types of behavior, such as overdamped, critically damped, or underdamped.
- We will focus on the underdamped case, where the circuit oscillates.
Analytical Solution for LCR Circuits
- The differential equation governing the behavior of an underdamped LCR circuit is given by:
L d^2q/dt^2 + R dq/dt + (1/C)q = 0
- Here, q represents charge on the capacitor.
- We can solve this differential equation to obtain the solution for q.
Solution for LCR Circuits
- The analytical solution for an underdamped LCR circuit is given by:
q(t) = Q * cos(ωt + φ)
- Q: Amplitude of the charge
- ω: Angular frequency of the oscillation (ω = √(1/(LC) - (R^2/(4L^2))))
- φ: Phase constant
Resonance in LCR Circuits
- Resonance occurs when the angular frequency of the driving source matches the natural frequency of the LCR circuit.
- At resonance:
- The amplitude of the charge (Q) is maximum.
- The phase constant (φ) is zero.
- The energy transfers back and forth between the inductor and the capacitor.
- The resonant frequency of an LCR circuit can be calculated using the formula:
f = 1 / (2π√(LC))
- Here, f represents the frequency in Hertz.
Example: Calculating Resonant Frequency
- Let’s consider an LCR circuit with the following values:
- L = 2 H
- C = 10 μF (microfarads)
- Calculate the resonant frequency of the circuit.
Example Solution
- Plugging the given values into the resonant frequency formula:
f = 1 / (2π√(2 * 10^-6))
- Simplifying the expression:
f = 1 / (2π√(2 * 10^-6)) ≈ 79.577 Hz
- Therefore, the resonant frequency of the LCR circuit is approximately 79.577 Hz.
Summary
- In this lecture, we discussed LCR circuits and their analytical solution.
- We explored the behavior of LCR circuits and focused on the underdamped case.

LCR Circuits - Analytical Solution and Resonance
- In this lecture, we will continue our discussion on LCR circuits.
- We will focus on the time lag between the voltage and current in the circuit.
- We will also solve an example problem to understand the concept.
- Let’s get started!
Time Lag in LCR Circuits
- In an LCR circuit, there is a time lag between the voltage and current.
- This is due to the presence of inductance and capacitance in the circuit.
- The time lag is given by the phase angle between the voltage and current waveforms.
- The time lag between the voltage and current in an LCR circuit can be calculated using the formula:
Δt = φ / ω
- Δt: Time lag (in seconds)
- φ: Phase angle (in radians)
- ω: Angular frequency (in radians/s)
Example: Time Lag Calculation
- Consider an LCR circuit with the following values:
- L = 0.1 H
- C = 10 μF (microfarads)
- ω = 1000 rad/s
- Calculate the time lag in the circuit.
Example Solution
- Plugging the given values into the time lag formula:
Δt = φ / ω = 0.785 / 1000 ≈ 0.000785 s
- Therefore, the time lag in the LCR circuit is approximately 0.000785 seconds.
Resonance and Time Lag
- At the resonant frequency of an LCR circuit, the time lag (Δt) is zero.
- This means that the voltage and current are perfectly in phase.
- The energy transfer between the inductor and capacitor happens without any time delay.
RMS Values of Voltage and Current
- In an LCR circuit, we can calculate the RMS (root mean square) values of the voltage and current.
- The RMS values are given by the equation:
Vrms = Vm / √2
Irms = Im / √2
- Vrms: RMS voltage
- Irms: RMS current
- Vm: Maximum voltage
- Im: Maximum current
Example: RMS Values Calculation
- Let’s consider an LCR circuit with the following values:
- Calculate the RMS values of voltage and current.
Example Solution
- Plugging the given values into the RMS values formula:
Vrms = Vm / √2 = 10 / √2 ≈ 7.071 V
Irms = Im / √2 = 5 / √2 ≈ 3.536 A
- Therefore, the RMS values of voltage and current in the LCR circuit are approximately 7.071 V and 3.536 A, respectively.
Summary

- We learned how to calculate the time lag using the phase angle and angular frequency.
