EXPERIMENT 1

Introduction to LTSPICE

AIM:
Familiarization with circuit simulation
using LTSPICE.

THEORY:
Simulation is an approximate imitation of
the operation of a process or system that
represents its operation over time.
Simulations are characterized by their
non-linear nature and by then controlled
ambiguity within which students must
make decisions.

SPICE ("Simulation Program with
Integrated Circuit Emphasis") is a general-
purpose, open source analog electronic
circuit simulator. It is a program used in
integrated circuit and board-level design
to check the integrity of circuit designs
and to predict circuit behaviour.

LTspice is a SPICE-based analog electronic


circuit simulator computer software.
LTspice provides schematic capture to
enter an electronic schematic for an
electronic circuit, an enhanced SPICE type
analog electronic circuit simulator, and a
waveform viewer to show the results of the
simulation. Circuit simulation analysis
based on transient, noise, AC, DC, DC
transfer function, DC operating point can
be performed and plotted as well as fourier
analysis.

EXPERIMENT 2

Kirchhoff’s Current Law

AIM:
To verify Kirchhoff’s current Law.

THEORY:
Kirchhoff's current law (1st Law) states
that the current flowing into a node (or
a junction) must be equal to the
current flowing out of it. This is a
consequence of charge conservation.

15 | P a g e
This can be generalised to the case
with n, wires all connected at a node by
writing:
k=1∑n Ik=0

Superposition Theorem

Aim:
Verification of superposition theorem.

Theorem:
Superposition Theorem states that in a
network of linear resistances containing
more than one current source, the current
which flow at any point is sum of all the
currents which flow at that point if sources
were considered separately, and all other
sources were replaced for the time being
by resistances equal to their internal
resistances.

EXPERIMENT 5

Thevenin and Norton’s Theorem

AIM:
To verify Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems
for the given circuit.

THEORY:
Thevenin’s Theorem states that any
complicated network across its load
terminals can be substituted by a voltage
source with one resistance in series.

87 | P a g e
Norton’s Theorem states that a linear active
network consisting of the independent or
dependent voltage source and current
sources and the various circuit elements can
be substituted by an equivalent circuit
consisting of a current source in parallel with
a resistance.

CIRCUITS AND OUTPUTS

Circuit 3:

When V= 30V,
Vth = 10.9090V, IN = 2.4000A
Rth = RN = 4.5454 Ω

91 | P a g e
Conclusion:
According to Thevenin's Theorem, any
linear circuit, no matter how complex, can
be simplified to an analogous circuit with
only a single voltage source and series
resistance connected to a load.
Throughout this experiment, the
resistances are reduced to only one: Rth.
The value of Rth obtained by calculation is
the same as the value obtained by
measurement, implying that Thevenin's
Theorem is valid.
Norton's resistance RN is equivalent to
Thevenin's resistance Rth; they both reflect
the resistance at the terminals of the LEC
(linear electrical circuit) when all of the
LEC's sources are deactivated: voltage
sources are shortened, and current sources
are opened.

Reciprocity Theorem

AIM:
Simulate 3 circuits and verify reciprocity
theorem, taking three different input
voltages in each case.

THEORY:
The Reciprocity Theorem states that if an
emf E in one branch of a reciprocal
network causes a current I in another, then
moving the emf E from the first to the
second branch causes the same current in
the first branch, where the emf has been
replaced by a short circuit.

RC Circuit

AIM:
Simulate 1 RC circuit and analyse its ‘F vs I’
and ‘F vs V’ characteristics.

THEORY:
An RC circuit, RC filter, or RC network is
made up of a pure resistance R in ohm and a
pure capacitance C in farad. It consists of a
resistor as well as a capacitor. A capacitor
can store energy, and a resistor connected to
it in series can monitor how quickly it
charges or discharges.

120 | P a g e
The RC signal filters the signals by blocking
some frequencies while allowing others to
pass through. Signal selection and noise
rejection are the primary functions of RC
filters. The high-pass and low-pass filters are
the most popular RC filters.

The high pass filter allows frequencies


greater than the fixed cut-off frequency to
pass through, whereas frequencies lower
than the fixed cut-off frequency are blocked.
On the other side, the low-pass filter allows
frequencies below the fixed cut-off
frequency to cross, thus attenuating
frequencies above the fixed cut-off
frequency.

Resonant Frequency of series RLC


circuit

AIM:
Simulate 1 series RLC circuit, experimentally
determine its resonant frequency and
compare this to its expected resonant
frequency.

THEORY:
As shown in the figure below, resistance,
inductance, and capacitance are connected
in series through an alternating current
supply with an RMS voltage of V.
Let,
VR = I.R = voltage drop across R —in phase
with I

123 | P a g e
VL = I.XL = voltage drop across L —leading I by
π/2
VC = I.XC = voltage drop across C —lagging I
by π/2
Figure (b) shows a voltage triangle in which
OA represents VR and AB and AC represent
inductive and capacitive drops, respectively.
VL and VC are 180° out of phase with each
other, i.e., they are in direct contrast to each
other. We get the net reactive decrease, AD
= I (XL – XC), by subtracting BD (= AC) from
AB.
OD represents the applied voltage V, which
is the vector sum of OA and AD.

Therefore,
OD = √OA2 + AD2
Or V = √(IR) 2 + (IXL − IXC)2
Or V = I√(R)2 + (XL − XC)2
Or I = V √(R)2+(XL−XC)2
Or I = V √(R)2+(X)2
124 | P a g e
Or I = V Z where, [X = XL - XC = Net reactance]
[Z = √(R)2 + (XL − XC)2 = Impedance]
The resonant frequency is the frequency at
which the RMS voltage of the series RLC
circuit reaches its maximum value. In other
words, the resonant frequency is the
frequency at which the net reactance of the
series RLC circuit is zero (f0).
Therefore: XL - XC = 0
or XL = XC
or ω0L = 1 w0C
or w02 = 1 LC
or (2πf0)2 = 1 LC
or f0 = 1 2π√LC {If L is in henry and C in farad,
then f0 will be in hertz.}

Circuit 1:

Resonant frequency, f0 = 155.15291Hz

127 | P a g e
CALCULATIONS:
Resonant frequency, f0 = 1 2π√LC
In circuit 1:
L = 70mH = 70 × 10-3 H
C = 15μF = 15 × 10-6 F
Therefore
f0 = 1 2π√ (70 X 10−3 X 15 X 10−6)
f0 = 155.3193 Hz

CONCLUSION :
The experimental value of the resonant
frequency in the series RLC circuit is found
to be approximately equal to its predicted
value.

Study of Parallel RLC Circuit

AIM:
To Study and Simulate Parallel RLC Circuit
in LT Spice.

THEORY:
RLC Circuit in Parallel: To link the resistor,
inductor, and capacitor in parallel, a
voltage supply is used. The parallel RLC
circuit's polar opposite is the series RLC
circuit. Although the supply current is
isolated, the applied voltage remains
constant across all components.

129 | P a g e
Since the current flowing in the resistor,
inductor, and capacitor are not in the
same phase with each other, they cannot
be applied arithmetically, the total current
drawn from the supply is equal to its
vector sum of all currents.
In a circuit containing inductor and
capacitor, the energy is stored in two
different ways.
• When a current flow in an inductor,
energy is stored in magnetic field.
• When a capacitor is charged, energy is
stored in static electric field. During
resonance, at certain frequency called
resonant frequency, fr.

130 | P a g e
As resonance occurs, the circuit's inductive
reactance equals its capacitive reactance,
causing the circuit impedance to be
minimum in the case of a series RLC circuit;
however, when the resistor, inductor, and
capacitor are connected in parallel, the
circuit impedance becomes maximum, so
the parallel RLC circuit is often referred to as
an anti-resonator. It is worth noting that the
fundamental frequency of a vibrating entity
is the lowest resonant frequency.

fr = 1/2𝜋√𝐿𝐶
= 1/2π√0.5 × 6 × 10−6 = 91.888 Hz ≈92 Hz
Therefore, the theoretical value of
resonating frequency is = 92Hz
And the graphical value of resonating
frequency = the theoretical value of
resonating frequency = 92Hz

= 251.646 Hz ≈252 Hz
Therefore, the theoretical value of
resonating frequency = 252 Hz
And graphical value of resonating frequency
= theoretical value of resonating frequency =
252 Hz

CONCLUSION:
The Parallel RLC Circuit has been
successfully studied and simulated since
the Graphical Resonating frequency is equal
to the theoretical resonating frequency.
