Theory
In the series R-L-C circuit, when inductive reactance X L equals the capacitive reactance
X C circuit is called as series resonance circuit. Circuit behaves like a resistive circuit and
the resulting current is in phase with the applied voltage. Circuit power factor is unity. At
resonance, the equivalent impedance of the circuit consists of only resistive components

due to cancelling out the reactive components. At this condition circuit draws the
maximum current shown in Fig.4 due to minimum impedance of the circuit as shown in
Fig.3. As X L is directly proportional to frequency and X C is inversely proportional to
frequency, we can obtain the resonance of any R-L-C circuit by varying its frequency.
The frequency, at which this condition occurs, is known as resonance frequency f r of that
circuit. The magnitude of the resonating frequency can be calculated using eq.(1)

f r= (1)
2 π √ LC

During series resonance, voltage magnification is observed. Voltage across the capacitor
or inductor is multiple times the supply voltage. This can be observed using the term Q
factor or Quality factor of the circuit which is given by eq. (2)

Procedure
1) Connect the circuit as shown in Fig.1
2) Give 5V peak to peak amplitude sinusoidal input from the signal generator.
3) Change the frequency and obtain the maximum current in the circuit. Vary frequency
from 800 Hz to 2800Hz. Note down this reading at resonant frequency.
4) Adjust frequencies for six equally spaced readings above and below the resonant
frequency and note down corresponding current values on AC ammeter.
