PROBLEM STATEMENT:

Question : 2:-
(a) An LC circuit shows a natural oscillations of 5 radian/sec when excited by
DC source. If resistance is included in the system, what will be its value if the
oscillations is reduced by 20%?
(Given: L=0.1H)

(b)What will be the value of the resistance in order to die out these oscillations?

AIM:

To find the step input response characteristics of the LC circuit and

view the effect of resistors on the oscillations of the system.

CALCULATIONS:
INFERENCE:

From the simulation plot of the given second order system (in the form of an L-C
circuit), it can be inferred that the resistance in the circuit acts as a natural
damper for the oscillations in the output response of the system.

In case of the second simulation plot, it can be observed that the oscillations die-
out, and there are no overshoots and undershoots in the response, indicating
that with the introduction of a resistor with higher value of resistance in an L-C
circuit, the oscillations can not just be minimised, but can be completely
eliminated from the system, without affecting its order.
