Series RLC Circuit Summary In a series RLC circuit containing a resistor, an inductor and a capacitor the source voltage VS is the phasor sum made up of three components, VR, VL and VC with the current common to all three. Since the current is common to all three components it is used as the horizontal reference when constructing a voltage triangle.

The impedance of the circuit is the total opposition to the flow of current. For a series RLC circuit, and impedance triangle can be drawn by dividing each side of the voltage triangle by its current, I. The voltage drop across the resistive element is equal to I x R, the voltage across the two reactive elements is I x X = I x XL – I x XC while the source voltage is equal to I x Z. The angle between VS and I will be the phase angle, θ.

When working with a series RLC circuit containing multiple resistances, capacitance’s or inductance’s either pure or impure, they can be all added together to form a single component. For example all resistances are added together, RT = ( R1 + R2 + R3 )…etc or all the inductance’s LT = ( L1 + L2 + L3 )…etc this way a circuit containing many elements can be easily reduced to a single impedance.
