    This document summarizes lab exercises measuring impedance in series and parallel RC circuits. In series RC circuits, impedance and phase angle increase with additional capacitors. In parallel RC circuits, impedance and phase angle decrease as more capacitors are added. The experiments aim to determine how resistor-capacitor circuits behave and are analyzed based on their series or parallel connections.

    DATA ANALYSIS

    In this experiment,
    we have to determine the
    behavior of the RC circuit whether it is a series or parallel connection and getting their
    respective impedance. When getting the total capacitive reactance, it is the summation of
    the individual reactance connected in series. While in parallel, to find its total capacitive
    reactance, you must use its reciprocal formula, of if the circuit has only two capacitors, you
    may use the product-over-sum formula. In series connection, the capacitive reactance
    increases as the number of capacitors also increase. It will result in lower circuit and higher
    circuit impedance and as the capacitive reactance increases, the phase angle between its
    applied voltage and circuit current also increases. In parallel connection, when the number
    of capacitor increases, the capacitive reactance decreases. As a result, it has a higher circuit
    and lower circuit impedance, Therefore, when the capacitive decreases, more current flows
    through the reactive branch of the circuit, so the phase angle between its phase angle
    between its phase angle between the applied voltage and circuit current increases.

    CONCLUSION

    A resistor-capacitor circuit (RC circuit) consists of a resistor and a capacitor (either in


    series or in parallel) driven by a voltage source. When resistors, inductors, and capacitors
    are connected in parallel, voltage remains as the reference, is equal, and is in phase across
    all components. However, it should be noted that it is current that changes. With each
    component it is in phase, or leads, or lags.

    Once resistance and individual reactances determined by value and frequency are
    known, branch currents are calculated using Ohm's law. Currents are calculated using ac
    ohmic values. After reactive currents are subtracted, the Pythagorean theorem is used to
    determine (vector) total current. Again the phase angle may be obtained with the arctan

    EEC201L EXERCISE # 1 Page 7 of 8


    formula. The ratio is the subtracted reactance current divided by the resistive current. A
    negative angle indicates that current is lagging the source voltage.

    Parallel impedance may be calculated with Ohm's law (Z), after total current has been
    determined. Total current is also used for apparent power calculation. True power is still
    resistive, and the cosine of the angle remains the power factor.
