HD Animation: RLC circuits

The following animation illustrates how an RLC circuit works. RLC circuits offer a wide range of possible applications in the field of signal processing. The letters “RLC” also refer to the three basic electrical elements: Resistance (R), Inductance (L) and Capacitance (C). Individual R, L, C, LC, RC and RL circuits can also be configured in the animation.

Note on use

After starting the application, you can view the animation in full-screen mode. To do this, click on “View” and then on “Full screen”:

Description of the animation

In the animation, the three components (resistor, coil and capacitor) can be added to the circuit and configured. The circuit diagram can be seen in the top left-hand window. Below this is the pointer diagram. The pointer diagram clearly shows how the individual voltage cases can be calculated geometrically. The pointer diagram provides a visual representation of the phase shifts in the circuit. The animation can be used here to explain how the phase shifts change at different frequencies. The curve diagram shows the periodic progression of the partial voltages.
