concerned experiment.
sted to draw connection diagram on a rough notebook before
» starting the experiment. They are supposed to make connections themselves
according to the diagram and they should get the circuit checked by the
concemed before performing the experiment.

THEORY: Thevenin's Theorem
‘Any two terminals XY of a network composed of active and linear passive elements
‘may be replaced by a simple equivalent circuit consisting of an equivalent voltage
source Vo in series with an equivalent resistance Ra, The voltage source Veeis equal to
the potential difference between the two terminals XY caused by the active network
when no extemal resistance is connected to the terminals. The Re: is calculated by
looking back into the network at terminals XY with all the sources within the network
made inactive. When a load of resistance R, is connected across XY, the actual current

Jeestou-aP
Ina series R-L-C circuit, one cannot definitely say whether the current leads or lags
the voltage. It depends upon the relative values of terms wl. and A/jgc - There can
ities:
be three po
(@aL>/c, bol l/c and (aL =1/4¢
In ease (a), when aL >1/,,¢ , the angle @ is negative. It means that the current lags
the voltage. So, the circuit behaves as an inductive circuit. This condition can be
achieved by increasing L, « or C.
In case (b), when oL <1//,¢ , the angle @ is positive. It means that the current
leads the voltage. So, the circuit behaves as a capacitive circuit. This condition can
be achieved by decreasing L, w or C.
Case (¢) is a special case, when oL =1/,,¢ , the angle 8 becomes zero. The circuit
then behaves as a purely resistive circuit. The current through the circuit becomes in
phase with the source voltage. This condition is known as the resonance,
PHASOR DIAGRAM
Fig. 3 shows the phasor diagrams for the series R-L-C circuit for three different
cases, Sine itis a series circuit, current should be taken as reference phasor. In this
