How to Derive the Equation for an RLC Circuit?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the equation for an RLC circuit's output voltage relative to input voltage, specifically the formula Vout/Vin = [RL]/[-[ω][/2]+jω(R/L)+1/(LC)]. Participants suggest using the voltage divider formula, leading to the equation Vout/Vin = R_L / (R_L + jωL + 1/(jωC)). Further manipulation of this formula is recommended to achieve the desired equation. The use of LaTeX for clarity in mathematical expressions is emphasized throughout the conversation.

how to get this equation:
Vout/Vin = [RL]/[-[ω][/2]+jω(R/L)+1/(LC)]

- Show us the picture of the RLC Circuit your using.
- Tell us how Vout is defined.
- Tell us what [omega][/2] stands for (use the boards LaTeX syntax).

Hi Ai En,

as a solution you could use the voltage divider formula to get a first equation:
\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}} = \frac{R_L}{R_L + j \omega L + \frac{1}{j \omega C}}

afterwards if you think that's useful you can try to manipulate this formula until you get the one given to you. Since i can not interpret your given equation (as i said use the LaTeX encoding to be more clear about your formula) i can only guess and did for example multiply the whole formula with \frac{j \omega L}{j \omega L} and the denominator again with \frac{L}{L} that results in:
\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}} = \frac{j \omega R_L}{L \cdot \left( - \omega^2 + j \omega \frac{R_L}{L} + \frac{1}{C L}\right)}
