Circuits - Transfer function of this LRC circuit

In summary, a transfer function is a mathematical representation used to describe the relationship between input and output in a system, specifically in circuits. For an LRC circuit, the transfer function can be calculated using the Laplace transform and provides information on the circuit's response to different frequencies of input voltage. It can also be used to determine stability and frequency response. Changing the values of resistance, inductance, and capacitance will alter the transfer function, with effects such as decreasing output voltage amplitude and shifting resonant frequency. Additionally, the transfer function can be utilized in circuit design and analysis to select appropriate component values and predict circuit behavior.

Homework Statement
Given the following circuit with the inductor L1= 8(H). The transfer function between Vo(s) and Vs(s) can be described as:
$$\frac{V_o(s)}{V_s(s)} = \frac{1}{as^3+bs^2+cs+d}$$

Find a, b, c and d in this equation. Change the inductor by L1 by another inductor L2 = B(H) such that the system has a pole at S = -2/3. Find B

Got B = 9.

My school doesn't provide answers, hence could someone double check if my answers is right? Thanks!

Looks good, but I think that you miscopied the constant 2 as a 3 in the final line of your derivation.

What is a transfer function in relation to LRC circuits?

A transfer function is a mathematical representation of how a circuit responds to different frequencies of input signals. In the case of LRC circuits, the transfer function describes the relationship between the input voltage and the output voltage across the circuit.

How is the transfer function of an LRC circuit calculated?

The transfer function of an LRC circuit can be calculated by taking the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage at each frequency. This can be done using Kirchhoff's laws and Ohm's law to determine the impedance of the circuit at each frequency.

What is the significance of the transfer function in LRC circuits?

The transfer function allows us to analyze the behavior of an LRC circuit and predict how it will respond to different input signals. It can also help us design circuits to achieve specific frequency responses.

How does the transfer function change with different values of resistance, inductance, and capacitance?

The transfer function of an LRC circuit is affected by changes in resistance, inductance, and capacitance. For example, increasing the resistance will decrease the amplitude of the output signal, while increasing the inductance will shift the frequency response to higher frequencies.

Can the transfer function of an LRC circuit be modified?

Yes, the transfer function of an LRC circuit can be modified by changing the values of the components or by adding or removing components from the circuit. This can be useful for achieving specific frequency responses or for filtering out unwanted frequencies.
