For the first order electrical network below,

Values of R and C depends on the choice of the group but must be in the range given below.

R: 1 – 10 ohms

C: 0.1 – 1 F

Do the following:

V C( s)
1. determine the transfer function G ( s )=
V i ( s)
2. determine the poles and zeros of G( s) and create a pole-zero plot
3. determine the time constant of the response (capacitor voltage)
4. determine the rise time
5. determine the settling time
6. Confirm your answer in the plot for rise time, settling time in MATLAB using the code below
clc;
clear all;
close all;
num=[a b c];
den=[a b c];
sys=tf(num,den)
step(sys);
title('step response of system');
[r,p,c]=residue(num,den)

The variable a,b,c are the coefficients of the equation in the numerator and denominator. For
example
4
C ( s) = 2
s +2 s +3
num = [0 0 4] since since a and b equals zero and den = [ 1, 2, 3].
In the plot, right click the plot and click characteristics, click rise time. Do the same for settling
time.

 For the second order RLC network shown below,

Values of R, L and C depend on the choice of the group but must be in the range below
R: 600 – 650 ohms
C: 25nF
L: 25mH
I dc =24 mA

Do the following:
1st condition
I L(s )
1. determine the transfer function G ( s )=
I dc ( s )
2. determine the poles and zeros of G( s) and create a pole-zero plot
3. determine the time constant of the response I L ( s ) (inductor current)
4. determine the rise time
5. determine the peak time
6. determine the settling time
7. determine the percent overshoot
8. Confirm your answer in the plot for rise time, peak response time, settling time and the percent
overshoot in MATLAB using the code below
clc;
clear all;
close all;
num=[a b c];
den=[a b c];
sys=tf(num,den)
step(sys);
title('step response of system');
[r,p,c]=residue(num,den)
In the plot, right click the plot and click characteristics, click rise time. Do the same for settling
time, peak time and percent overshoot. Describe the type of response.

Find the value of R such that there is 20 % overshoot in the response (inductor current).
