What is the equation for LCR circuit?
2 Answers
An LCR (Inductor-Capacitor-Resistor) circuit is a fundamental electrical circuit that consists of an inductor (L), a capacitor (C), and a resistor (R) connected in series or parallel. The behavior of this circuit can be described using differential equations, which take into account the impedance of each component.
### Series LCR Circuit
In a series LCR circuit, the total impedance \( Z \) is given by:
\[
Z = R + j\left( \omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C} \right)
\]
where:
- \( R \) is the resistance in ohms (Ω),
- \( L \) is the inductance in henries (H),
- \( C \) is the capacitance in farads (F),
- \( \omega \) is the angular frequency in radians per second, defined as \( \omega = 2\pi f \) (with \( f \) being the frequency in hertz),
- \( j \) is the imaginary unit.
The total current \( I(t) \) in the circuit can be described by Kirchhoff’s voltage law:
\[
V(t) = L \frac{dI}{dt} + RI + \frac{1}{C} \int I \, dt
\]
### Differential Equation
If we rearrange this equation, we can express it as a second-order differential equation:
\[
L \frac{d^2I}{dt^2} + R \frac{dI}{dt} + \frac{1}{C} I = 0
\]
### Resonance Condition
The circuit can also exhibit resonance, which occurs at a particular frequency \( f_0 \) where the inductive and capacitive reactances cancel each other out:
\[
f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}
\]
### Parallel LCR Circuit
For a parallel LCR circuit, the admittance \( Y \) is used instead of impedance:
\[
Y = \frac{1}{R} + j\left( \frac{1}{\omega L} - \omega C \right)
\]
The corresponding equations and resonance conditions are similar but involve the use of admittance instead.
### Summary
- **Series Circuit**: Voltage adds up, resulting in a second-order differential equation.
- **Parallel Circuit**: Admittance adds up, with similar characteristics in terms of resonance.
In both cases, understanding the relationships between \( R \), \( L \), and \( C \) is crucial for analyzing circuit behavior, including transient response and steady-state sinusoidal response.

An LCR circuit, also known as an RLC circuit, is a type of electrical circuit that includes an inductor (L), a capacitor (C), and a resistor (R) connected in series or parallel. The behavior of the circuit can be described using differential equations based on Kirchhoff's voltage law and the properties of the components.
### Series LCR Circuit
In a series LCR circuit, the inductor, capacitor, and resistor are connected in a single path. The total voltage across the circuit \( V(t) \) is the sum of the voltages across each component. For a sinusoidal input voltage \( V(t) = V_0 \sin(\omega t) \), where \( V_0 \) is the amplitude and \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, the voltage drops across the resistor \( R \), inductor \( L \), and capacitor \( C \) are \( V_R \), \( V_L \), and \( V_C \) respectively.
**Kirchhoff's voltage law** states that:
\[ V(t) = V_R + V_L + V_C \]
Using the component relations:
- Resistor: \( V_R = i(t) R \)
- Inductor: \( V_L = L \frac{di(t)}{dt} \)
- Capacitor: \( V_C = \frac{1}{C} \int i(t) \, dt \)
The total voltage can be written as:
\[ V(t) = i(t) R + L \frac{di(t)}{dt} + \frac{1}{C} \int i(t) \, dt \]
Differentiating both sides with respect to time \( t \):
\[ \frac{dV(t)}{dt} = R \frac{di(t)}{dt} + L \frac{d^2i(t)}{dt^2} + \frac{i(t)}{C} \]
For a sinusoidal input \( V(t) = V_0 \sin(\omega t) \), this becomes:
\[ V_0 \omega \cos(\omega t) = R \frac{di(t)}{dt} + L \frac{d^2i(t)}{dt^2} + \frac{i(t)}{C} \]
Or, rearranging:
\[ L \frac{d^2i(t)}{dt^2} + R \frac{di(t)}{dt} + \frac{i(t)}{C} = V_0 \omega \cos(\omega t) \]
### Parallel LCR Circuit
In a parallel LCR circuit, the inductor, capacitor, and resistor are connected in parallel. The total current \( I(t) \) flowing into the circuit is the sum of the currents through each component.
Using the component relations:
- Resistor: \( I_R = \frac{V(t)}{R} \)
- Inductor: \( I_L = \frac{1}{L} \int V(t) \, dt \)
- Capacitor: \( I_C = C \frac{dV(t)}{dt} \)
The total current can be written as:
\[ I(t) = \frac{V(t)}{R} + \frac{1}{L} \int V(t) \, dt + C \frac{dV(t)}{dt} \]
Differentiating both sides with respect to time \( t \):
\[ \frac{dI(t)}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{V(t)}{R} \right) + \frac{V(t)}{L} + C \frac{d^2V(t)}{dt^2} \]
For a sinusoidal input \( V(t) = V_0 \sin(\omega t) \), this becomes:
\[ \frac{dI(t)}{dt} = \frac{\omega V_0 \cos(\omega t)}{R} + \frac{V_0 \sin(\omega t)}{L} + C \frac{d^2V(t)}{dt^2} \]
Or:
\[ \frac{dI(t)}{dt} = \frac{\omega V_0 \cos(\omega t)}{R} + \frac{V_0 \sin(\omega t)}{L} + C (-\omega^2 V_0 \sin(\omega t)) \]
In both cases, the differential equations describe how the current or voltage changes with time in response to sinusoidal inputs and can be solved to analyze the circuit's response, such as impedance, resonance, and phase shift.

**Kirchhoff's voltage law** states that:
\[ V(t) = V_R + V_L + V_C \]
Using the component relations:
- Resistor: \( V_R = i(t) R \)
- Inductor: \( V_L = L \frac{di(t)}{dt} \)
- Capacitor: \( V_C = \frac{1}{C} \int i(t) \, dt \)
The total voltage can be written as:
\[ V(t) = i(t) R + L \frac{di(t)}{dt} + \frac{1}{C} \int i(t) \, dt \]
Differentiating both sides with respect to time \( t \):
\[ \frac{dV(t)}{dt} = R \frac{di(t)}{dt} + L \frac{d^2i(t)}{dt^2} + \frac{i(t)}{C} \]
For a sinusoidal input \( V(t) = V_0 \sin(\omega t) \), this becomes:
\[ V_0 \omega \cos(\omega t) = R \frac{di(t)}{dt} + L \frac{d^2i(t)}{dt^2} + \frac{i(t)}{C} \]
Or, rearranging:
\[ L \frac{d^2i(t)}{dt^2} + R \frac{di(t)}{dt} + \frac{i(t)}{C} = V_0 \omega \cos(\omega t) \]

The total current can be written as:
\[ I(t) = \frac{V(t)}{R} + \frac{1}{L} \int V(t) \, dt + C \frac{dV(t)}{dt} \]
Differentiating both sides with respect to time \( t \):
\[ \frac{dI(t)}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{V(t)}{R} \right) + \frac{V(t)}{L} + C \frac{d^2V(t)}{dt^2} \]
For a sinusoidal input \( V(t) = V_0 \sin(\omega t) \), this becomes:
\[ \frac{dI(t)}{dt} = \frac{\omega V_0 \cos(\omega t)}{R} + \frac{V_0 \sin(\omega t)}{L} + C \frac{d^2V(t)}{dt^2} \]
Or:
\[ \frac{dI(t)}{dt} = \frac{\omega V_0 \cos(\omega t)}{R} + \frac{V_0 \sin(\omega t)}{L} + C (-\omega^2 V_0 \sin(\omega t)) \]
In both cases, the differential equations describe how the current or voltage changes with time in response to sinusoidal inputs and can be solved to analyze the circuit's response, such as impedance, resonance, and phase shift.
