AIM:
To find the time constant of series R-C and RL electric circuits.
THEORY:
RC CIRCUIT:
Consider a series RC circuit as shown. The switch is in open state initially. There is no charge
on condenser and no voltage across it. At instant t=0, switch is closed. Immediately after
closing a switch, the capacitor acts as a short circuit, so current at the time of switching is
high. The voltage across capacitor is zero at t= 0+ as capacitor acts as a short circuit, and the
current is maximum given by,
i = V/R Amps
This current is maximum at t=0+ which is charging current. As the capacitor starts charging,
the voltage across capacitor VC starts increasing and charging current starts decreasing. After
some time, when the capacitor charges to V volts, it achieves steady state. In steady state it
acts as an open circuit and current will be zero finally.
Charging current and voltage in capacitor are given as below,

EX. NO : 9 SIMULATION OF THREE PHASE BALANCED AND
AIM:
To simulate three phase balanced and unbalanced star, delta networks circuits.
THEORY:
Balanced phase voltages are equal in magnitude and are out of phase with each
other by 120°.The phase sequence is the time order in which the voltages pass
through their respective maximum values. A balanced load is one in which the phase
impedances are equal in magnitude and in phase.
