3. Disconnect the generator. Connect RS as shown in Figure 8.6 to measure IS. Measured RS. Place the scope across the RS where it should have the same grounding with signal generator. The RS value is very small so that it would not interfere the circuit. Supply E = 8Vp-p and measure the peak to peak voltage across RS.

Using RSmeasured value, calculate the peak to peak current for IL and IC. To get ILp-p and ICp-p as shown in Figue 8.7 and 8.8 and measured the respective VRS.

CONCLUSION:
Analysis of series-parallel AC circuits is much the same as series-parallel DC circuits or in other word, we can verify Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law in RLC series circuit and Kirchhoff’s Current Law in RLC parallel circuit. It is important to remember that before series-parallel reduction (simplification) can begin, you must determine the impedance (Z) of every resistor, inductor, and capacitor. That way, all component values will be expressed in common terms (Z) instead of an incompatible mix of resistance (R), inductance (L), and capacitance (C).

EXERCISE 1. Calculate the XL, XC and ZT for circuit shown in Figure 8.4 at frequency of 10kHz. Solution: Series circuit:
f = 10 kHz L = 10 x 10-3 H C = 0.01 x 10-6 C E=8V R = 1000 Ω
Since ω = 2f XL = ωL
= (2) (10 x 103) (10 x 10-3) = 628.3185 Ω
XC = 1 / ωC
= 1 / (2) (10 x 103) (0.01 x 10-6) = 1591.549431 Ω
ZT
= [R2 + (XL XC) 2] ½ = [10002 + (628.3185 1591.549431) 2] ½ = 1388.457355
θ
= tan-1 (XL XC / R) = tan-1 (628.3185 1591.549431) / 1000 = -43.927°
ZT
= 1388.457355 < -43.927° Ω
2. For case in question 1, is ZT value is less than every component that is parallel at 10 kHz? Solution: Parallel circuit: ZT = ZR||ZL||ZC ZT = 1 / [(1/ZL) + (1 / ZR) + (/ZC)]
Where; = 1 / jωL = 1 / j (2) (10 x 103) (10 x 10-3)
1/ZL
= -1.59155 x 10-3 j = 1/ (1/jωC) = 1/ (1/j (2) (10 x 103) (0.01 x 10-6)
1/ZC
= 6.28318537 x 10-4 j 1/ ZR = 1/1000 = 1 x 10-3
ZT
= 1 / [1 x 10-3 + 6.28318537 x 10-4 j -1.59155 x 10-3 j] = 720.2236 < 43.927° Ω.
The value for ZT for case 1 is larger than every component that is in parallel at 10 kHz.
