Questions
1. What is the phase relationship between R, L, and C components in a series AC
circuit?

2. Based on measurements, does Kirchhoffs Voltage Law apply to the three

tested circuits (show work)?
Xc =1/wC = 1600i ohm

w = 2 f f= 10kHz

XL= wL =628i ohm

R =1k ohm
Z=

R + ( X LXc )

=1.387 k in RLC circuit

I = V/Z = 1 /1.387 k = 0.72 mA in RLC circuit

3. In general, how would the phasor diagram of Figure 6.1 change if the
frequency was raised?
-

If the frequency was raised, capacitive reactance will be decreasing.

4- In general, how would the phasor diagram of Figure 6.2 change if the
frequency was lowered?
-

If the frequency was lowered inductive reactance will be decreasing.
