Today we did 2nd Order Circuits. These are circuits with both capacitors and inductors.
When we apply KVL to source free series RLC circuits, we have
s =
We define constant alpha = R/2L and omega_knot = 1/ square root of (LC). Alpha is the damping constant. Omega_knot is the resonance constant.
Now, Napier came up with the damping ratio (zeta) = alpha/ omega_knot
Then we have three types of solutions:
overdamped
critically damped
underdamped
Today we did a lab called Series RLC Circuit Step Response.
