Abstract

In this laboratory, the simulation of the RL circuit is carried out, which has many applications in today's world. During the
laboratory, the values of amplitude, load tau, discharge tau, efficiency, average efficiency, impedance and among others were
calculated more.

1 Introduction
An RL circuit is an electrical circuit that contains a
resistor and a series coil. The coil is said to be temporarily
opposed to the establishment of a current in the circuit.
Applications:
They don't really have specific applications. The result
is that the Inductance (L) is always associated with
Resistance (R) that damages its performance, and that it
must be taken into account in the applications of L.
Apart from the expense represented by the heat
dissipating in the resistance when conducting an L, it turns
out that its combination with the inductance prevents the
increase and decrease of the current, which introduces
undesired time delays. The RL circuit introduces a time
delay proportional to L / R.
Amplitude: The amplitude of an oscillatory, wave, or
electromagnetic signal movement is a measure of the
maximum variation of displacement or other physical
magnitude that varies periodically or quasi-periodically
over time. It is the distance between the furthest point of a
wave and the point of balance or medium. [2]
Tau time constant:
τ = RC is called the circuit time constant. It is an indicator
of the circuit's reaction speed to a disturbance (due to a
voltage step). The higher this value, the final steady state
value will be reached more quickly. [3]
Impedance
Is a measure of opposition that a circuit presents to a
current when a voltage is applied. Impedance extends the
concept of resistance to alternating current circuits, and has
both magnitude and phase, unlike resistance, which only
has magnitude. [4]

2 Concepts

Frequency: Is the number of repetitions per unit time of Period of a current:

any periodic event. The period is the length of time of each The period is the time that elapses between the
repetitive event, so the period is the reciprocal of the emission of two consecutive waves. In other words, it is
frequency; the frequency is measured in hertz (Hz). [1] the time it takes for a full wave to pass through a reference

point. The number of waves emitted in each second is

called frequency and is the inverse of the period. [5]

The current laboratory has two parts:
The first is to calculate the efficiency of the circuit.
The second is to calculate the impedance of the circuit. Figure3:

Before carrying out this step, the components were
assembled, and the respective configurations such as:

this, calculate the cutoff frequency which determines from COS θ 16.41 θ 16.41 θ 0%
which frequency the signal can be displayed. Figure2.
A "square" wave is established, then all the variables of the
time domain are configured.
The efficiency of the circuit is calculated with the
aforementioned formula, adding a step, the average of 4
efficiencies is calculated so that the result is more accurate.
The next step is to calculate the impedance(figure3) and
the phase angle(figure4).

RL circuit, one of the conclusions was that the RC network

works contrary to the RL network, because in the RC
circuit for lower frequency values at the cutoff frequency
you can see the operation of the charge and discharge and
above you can see the effects of signal attenuation. On the
part of the RL circuit for low frequency values the opposite
happens, it works as a shunt.
