LRC Circuit Lab - Tutor Page 8


Answer: A) A maximum.

This maximum phenomenon is known as Electrical Resonance. Just as a cavity or an organ pipe has a resonating frequency, an LRC circuit has one as well. I've set up another experiment for you, can you find the current peak by only varying the frequency? This is the resonating frequency for the system. As every system has different amounts of L, R, & C in it, every electrical system has a point of resonance.
