Question

What are RC and RL circuits used for?


Open in App
Solution

RC circuits:

  1. A capacitor and a resistor will be linked in series or parallel to a voltage or current source in the RC circuit (Resistor Capacitor Circuit).
  2. Because they are most typically utilized in filtering applications, these circuits are also known as RC filters or RC networks.
  3. An RC circuit may be used to create simple filters such as low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass.

Uses of RC circuits:

Uses of RC circuit are listed below:

  1. Windshield wipers,
  2. Strobe lights, and
  3. Flashbulbs in a camera,
  4. Some pacemakers.

RL circuits:

  1. The RL Circuit (Resistor Inductor Circuit) will be made up of an inductor and a resistor, which will be linked in series or parallel.
  2. A voltage source will drive a series RL circuit, whereas a current source will drive a parallel RL circuit. A first-order RL circuit with only one inductor and one capacitor is depicted below, which is often used in passive filters.

Uses of RL circuits:

Uses of RL circuit are listed below:

  1. Communication systems
  2. Signal Processing
  3. Voltage/Current magnification
  4. Radio wave transmitters
  5. RF amplifiers
  6. Resonant LC circuit
  7. Variable tunes circuits
  8. Oscillator circuits
  9. Filtering circuits
