VOLTAGE TRIANGLE FOR A SERIES RLC CIRCUIT

The total applied voltage (VT) is the vector sum of the voltage across the resistor (VR) and the
difference in voltage between VL and VC. This voltage is computed using the following formula:
IF WE CONSIDER,
VR=ER
VL=EL
VC=EC THEN,

Voltage vector (phasor) diagram for a series RLC circuit.

The circuit’s phase angle theta (θ) is always the angle that separates the circuit’s
current and the applied voltage source.
A series RLC circuit will be inductive and have a positive phase angle when
the inductive reactance and resulting voltage across the inductor is greater than
the capacitive reactance and the resulting voltage across the capacitor.
A series RLC circuit will be capacitive and have a negative phase angle when
the capacitive reactance and resulting voltage across the capacitor is greater
than the inductive reactance and the resulting voltage across the inductor.

DISCUSSIONS

The observation value of theta and modulus power factor can slightly differ from that
of our calculated angle phi from our Impedance triangle due to decimal
approximations and minute irregularity in voltage supply Vs.

More than 5 observations are recorded for the easiest readings such that they are
handy in calculations and the phasor diagram is accurate enough.
