week 8

1. Parallel RLC Circuit

0. Consider the parallel RLC Circuit below:

0. Analyze the RLC circuit to determine the following (include both polar and complex forms where applicable):

· Zeq

· IT

· IR1

· IL1

· Real Power (Watts)

· Reactive Power (VARs)

· Apparent Power (Vas)

· Power Factor

0. Construct the circuit in MultiSIM and run a Single Frequency Analysis to confirm your calculations for the phasor values in part 3. Capture a screenshot of the analysis for both Magnitude/Phase (polar) and Real/Imaginary (complex).

0. Measure the real power of the circuit and the power factor using a watt meter. Capture a screenshot of the watt meter readings.

Submit all calculations in a document entitled EE115W8AYourGID.docx, or an equivalent word processing file extension.
