• RLC Circuit
RLC circuit is an electrical circuit consisting of a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor,
connected in series or in parallel. All of these elements are linear and passive (consumes
energy). The RLC circuit exhibits the property of resonance in same way as LC circuit
exhibits, but in this circuit the oscillation dies out quickly as compared to LC circuit due
to the presence of resistor in the circuit.
• Differential Equations
Differential Equations: A differential equation is an equation which contains one or
more terms and the derivatives of one variable as dependent variable with respect to the
other variable as independent variable 𝑑y/dx = f(x). Here “x” is an independent variable
and “y” is adependent variable. The rate of change of a function at a point is defined by
the derivatives of the function. A differential equation relates these derivatives with the
other functions. The derivativerepresents nothing but a rate of change, and the differential
equation helps us present a relationship between the changing quantity with respect to the
change in another quantity.

Discussion:
Write down the procedure you followed to do the experiments and result analysis.
In MATLAB code it starts with “syms” function that lists the names of all symbolic scalar
variables which are time Register Inductor and Capacitor. Then values of the variables are
declared. Then Ac voltage equation V= V0 cos(ωt)= cos(2πft) is written with the given variables.
In next line the differentiated equation of V is given with respect to time. The “desolve” function
will solve the current’s 2nd order differential equation where at 0s current is 0amp. Next “i1”
substitutes the variables of current resistance inductance and capacitance; “i2” uses
variableprecision floating-point arithmetic for i1 with 4 variables. Lastly the plot of current I is
commanded with time limit 0s ~ 2s.
To compare the result with physical circuit PSIM simulation is used. The trainer filed a register a
capacitor and an inductor is placed with AC source voltage 20V 50HZ frequency. As the output
graph will be for current, an ammeter is placed in series with the components. Run time is fixed
for 2s. the graphical version in PSIM matches with the MATLAB graph.
This proves that Matlab is capable of solving electrical problems if those are convertible in
equation.
