Engineering How Do You Build an RLC Circuit with Specific Phase and Amplitude Requirements?

AI Thread Summary
To build an RLC circuit driven at 10kHz with an output amplitude of 1/sqrt(2) and a 45-degree phase shift from the input voltage, it is essential to understand the relationship between the reactances and resistance. Specifically, the difference between the inductive reactance (Xl) and capacitive reactance (Xc) must equal the resistance (R). At the specified frequency, Xl should be twice Xc for a leading phase or vice versa for a lagging phase. Additionally, the supply voltage (Vs) can be calculated as the product of the output voltage (Vr) and √2. Properly configuring these parameters will ensure the desired circuit performance.

I have been given the task of building an RLC circuit that is driven at 10kHz, has an output amplitude of 1/sqrt(2) and is 45 degrees out of phase from the input voltage.

I am not really even sure where to get started.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

The first point I would note is that 45 degrees out of phase means that the value of
(Xl - Xc) or (Xc - Xl) must equal the value of R.
This means that at your chosen frequency (10kHz) Xl must = 2 x Xc This would be 45 leading
OR Xc must = 2 x Xl this would be 45 lagging
This means that the supply voltage Vs = Vr x √2 (or Vs = Vl x √2,,,, or Vs = Vc x √2 )
Hope this helps
PS when I say leading or lagging I mean supply volts with reference to the current (or Vr)
