purpose:
The purpose of this Experiment is to understand characteristic of RLC Circuit.

Introduction:
An LC resonant circuit is a circuit that is composed of a single inductor and
capacitor that can do many powerful and useful things.

An LC resonant circuit, as the name implies, achieves resonance. You can

think of resonance as just the right frequency achieved so that the output
signal reaches a perfect state of oscillations. These oscillations manifest
themselves as sine waves. So when resonance is achieved, sine wave signals
will be output.

LC circuits are used either for generating signals at a particular frequency, or

picking out a signal at a particular frequency from a more complex signal;
this function is called a bandpass filter. They are key components in many
electronic devices, particularly radio equipment
used in circuits such as oscillators, filters, tuners and frequency mixers.
Theory:
When we apply an AC voltage across a series combination of coil capacitor
and resistor, same current will flow through them and the resistors current and
voltage will be in phase while those of the capacitor and the coil will
experience a phase shift. The apparent voltage is given by this formula: V= Z*I
The current Ic leads Ir, assuming that the capacitor is resistance less, on the
other hand the current Il lags Ir , both by 90 degrees. The frequency where the
capacitive reactance is equal to the inductive reactance is called the
resonance frequency the impedance at this frequency is just the resistance of
the circuit.

Methodology:
ED_2120 has been plugged in power supply & turned on, Practice model
(ED_2110_MO3) placed on ED_2110, on LCD /Fc icon/ frequency has been
adjusted on 7KHZ & amplitude on 2V(pp), The Following point has been
connected(TP1-5 ) to out(+) & (TP1-6 ) to out(-).
Voltage has been measured between (TP2-4 ) & (TP2-5 ) by using oscilloscope.
Frequency has been increased to measure frequency in (0.4Vpp & 0.6Vpp)
then the maximum voltage has been measured in the highest frequency range
then Frequency has been decreased to measure frequency in (0.4Vpp &
0.6Vpp), then results were registered in table below.
