  • This video builds upon the voltage / current phase relationships that were demonstrated in the previous video:
    • #54: Back to Basics Tu...
    to show how these lead/lag relationships give rise to the unique properties of series and parallel resonant LC circuits. The voltage and current waveform phases are examined, and it is shown how these waveforms combine at resonance. The result of this paper analysis is also shown live on the oscilloscope. These simple circuits can be used to create frequency selective networks which are useful in filters, oscillators and other AC circuits.

    Watch many of your videos and they are amongst the very best - thank you. Despite the excellence of your material I find it useful to replicate your demonstrations - there is even more learning to be found! This one for example - at resonance the source is effectively shorted and mine doesn't like that. Also haven't found a way to hide a trace on the scope that is used in math but not needed on the display. Excellent skill building experiments. Brilliant. I encourage anyone to try reproducing what seem at first to be simple circuits.

  • @gordoncrisp3060
    @gordoncrisp3060 2 года назад

    Awesome video. Your explanation is loaded with detail but yet very simple to understand. The series LC circuit is exactly what we use on the railroad for our crossing circuits. Each RR crossing has it's own frequency and there is a series LC just as you described at either end of the approach to terminate the circuit and define the limits of the approach. This allows multiple crossing approach circuits to be stacked upon one another, each with it's own frequency and tuned termination shunts (the series LC). It also allows our DC signaling pulses to pass through unimpeded.

    I agree - pure gold!
    By far the best and clearest videos on these subjects on youtube.
    To the above suggestion on filters I wish to suggest adding 'back to basics' videos on the following:
    1. Ground - difference between DC/AC circuits, floating ground, ground loops and how to avoid them, best practices and the how and where to use isolation transformers and how they work
    2. RC oscillators.
    3. Which capacitor/inductor types are good for which applications and which values to use.

    Aww haa! Now I understand the why of the left channel fault on a tape machine I repaired. I knew something was off with the left side bias trap by intuition. After looking at your video, I was able to confirm that the bias trap had drifted off frequency by 12KHz. Really cool stuff you've offered. Thanks. Now, as to why I've chosen tape machine repair as a hobby, I'm afraid there's no help for it. Actually, I try to repair everything :-)

    To feed the parallel circuit from your signal generator did you include a series resistance? I have been experimenting with this recently and wonder if the 50 ohm output of my generator is interfering with the tank circuit. I do not always seem to get results that correlate with the relevant formula.

    A question about this particular video: am I right in thinking that this will only work if the values if L and C are the same (e.g. 220nH and 220nH)? This is the only way that the impedences will be equal at the freq?

  • @byronwatkins2565
    @byronwatkins2565 3 года назад +1

    In the parallel circuit, you could put 1 Ohm resistance in series with L and C (on the ground side) to show the phase relation between the currents. Once again, they are always out of phase and resonance is when their amplitudes are equal -- V/X_L = I_L = I_C = V/X_C. Cross multiply and cancel V to see X_L = X_C once again at resonance.

    Great video, Alan! I'm curious, since it's possible to have a series LC circuit be a band-pass filter, and a parallel LC circuit doing the same, which is the preferred configuration? My instinct says a parallel LC circuit, but I can't back that up.

    • @w2aew
      @w2aew  5 лет назад +1

      It really depends on the surrounding circuitry and how the resonant impedance is utilized. The parallel LC will look like a high impedance at resonance and the series LC will look like a low impedance at resonance.

    In the case where you have two coils to transmit energy (like a wireless charger), What consequences does it have on the yield when you increase your capacity ? Is there any advantage to have a great C and a smaller frequency or the oposite (If the inductance is the same) ?

  • @briant4326
    @briant4326 Год назад

    Thank you. Im just started getting into RF and didn't understand how the local oscillator selected the frequency from the antennae in the tuner circuit. I understood that the local oscillator had a resonant frequency it oscillates at but i didn't see how it discriminated out all the different incoming frequencies from the antennae. Now I think I see that the parallel LC circuit will short the unwanted frequencies to gnd and effectively pass-through the selected frequency along the signal path by virtue of it effectively acting as an open for that frequency. I'm sure I don't fully understand it still but this was helpful. Thanks.

    • @w2aew
      @w2aew  Год назад

      That is part of it (tuning the front-end bandpass filter), but the main thing that involves the local oscillator is the mixing circuit. This video might help: ruclips.net/video/Vf06HSR4LdY/видео.html

    Thank you so much, This creates a question about my hand crank generator.
    I used a four diode bridge rectifier with a capacitor to smooth out the AC and now I wonder if I should add an inductor....?
    Will the inductor stop all current? or will it effectively and totally smooth out the AC for a good clean DC.
    Any help appreciated
    Harold
    PS. You said the cancel each other out like an open circuit but then you said it would be good for filters?

    • @w2aew
      @w2aew  10 лет назад

      No need for the inductor in your case of power generation.
      For the filter - picture the LC tank circuit in parallel with a load. At the resonant frequency, it looks like an open, so the load gets all of the signal. At other frequencies, the LC will shunt some of the signal away from the load. This is one possibly implementation.

  • @Avionics1958

    Hi Alan, I got the same set up LC in series and the circuit goes in to resonance at 216KHZ, when I switch to parallel it goes out of resonance and my function gen. has up to 20MHZ where I can see it wants to go in to resonance but don't have any more range. my L is a hand wound wire and my C is .01uF. as per calculation it should be around 54.292 uH but with my LCR meter is 27uH. any idea why in parallel it doesn't resonate?

  • @SuburbanDon

    Very good. So if I want to select L and C for a given resonant frequency, is there a formula to determine the ideal values for L and C without resorting to trial and error ? Thanks.

    • @w2aew
      @w2aew  5 лет назад

      The formulas are on page 2 of the video notes:
      www.qsl.net/w2aew/youtube/LC_Resonance.pdf
      There are an infinite combinations of L and C for any given resonant frequency. Usually you'll start with a capacitor or inductor that is common or that you have on hand, and then calculate the remaining component value. If that results in an unreasonable or unrealistic component value, then adjust your first selection and repeat.
