R-L-C CIRCUIT IN PARALLEL

Given below is an AC parallel circuit with R = 200 Ω, L = 0.1234 H, C = 60μF with an AC voltage
source of 150 V with 60 Hz line. And we add another resistor (R2=0.001) after the voltage source to
remove the error in the simulation.

Fig 1.1

To solve for the voltage across each component, place one probe voltmeter before the resistor and assign
voltage reference after the resistor (for solving the voltage across the resistor). Execute the same
procedure for the inductor. However, for the capacitance, there is no need to assign a voltage reference
since the probe voltmeter already measures the voltage relatively to the ground.

Run the simulator.

The measured peak-to-peak voltage is 299.57V, then it has the maximum voltage of 150.0283V,
multiplied by 0.707 will give the RMS voltage value of 106.07.

To calculate for the current flow circulating in R-L-C paralle circuit, place a current source in the circuit
line and run the simulator.

Fig 1.4

The measured peak-to-peak current is 7.9306A, then it has the maximum current of 3.9653A, multiplied
by 0.707 will give the RMS current value of 2.8039A.
The value for the peak-to-peak current of the resistance is 1.4979A, therefore the maximum current of the
resistance is 7.5011A, multiplied by 0.707 will give the RMS current value of 5.3033A.

For the inductance, the peak-to-peak current is 6.4189A, divided by 2 will result to the maximum current
of 3.20945A, multiplied by 0.707 will give the RMS voltage value of 3.6254A.

For the capacitance, the peak-to-peak current is 6.7980A, divided by 2 will result to the maximum current
of 3.399A, multiplied by 0.707 will give the RMS voltage value of 2.4069A.
