Find the roots of the characteristic equation that governs the transient behavior of the voltage in the figure shown. Will the response be overdamped, underdamped or critically damped?

You will study a series RLC circuit from both a time-domain and frequency-domain perspective in order to investigate topics such as: damping, overshoot, rise time, frequency of oscillation, settling ...

Connect the RLC circuit to the function generator using an adapter and banana cables. Connect the oscilloscope to two elements in the circuit. Be careful to ground the measurements at the same point.

Previous tutorials have described that resistors may either be connected as a series circuit or a parallel circuit where the currents and voltages are obtained using Ohm’s Law. To produce more complex ...
