First let me say howdy, I am a newbie.
If you can refer to this website (a good one btw)
RLC Circuit
It is a 10 ohm resistor in series with a 1H inductor in series with a 15uF capacitor.
Once the switch is activated the circuit will charge and when the switch is opened the circuit will begin to oscillate.
Questions:
1. The voltage source is only 5V, but the peak voltage across the inductor can be as high as 12 V, why? Is this because of flyback?
2. If XL goes up or the resistance of the circuit goes up, will the voltage across the inductor also go up? Less current path and therefore voltage must go up across the inductor?
3. How can you calculate the VP across the inductor?
Thanks in advance![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
