Talk:Circuit Theory/RLC Circuits

The equation for the impedance of the series RLC circuit is wrong. It needs to be multiplied by a factor of L/(jw) to be right. Also, for the series circuit, the damping ratio is wrong. This page is therefore highly suspect.

Actually, the impedance for the parallel RLC circuit is incorrect as well.

even the waveform is also wrong. The one which is shown as over damped is actualy under damped.

more on parallel rlc circuits would be helpful
the differential equation given for series circuits is useful and helps to relate various quantities should as damping, quality factor. If a parallel rlc circuit differential equation is given parallels (so to speak) could be drawn. Also mentioning the fact that Q=1/2 is critical damping, Q>1/2 is underdamped (hence complex solution) and q>1/2 is overdamped, with a few graphs to boot. 129.67.119.240 (discuss) 22:38, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Standing Wave
In Resonance section, case R=0, it is claimed that if L=C, then standing wave is produced ! How do you prove this fact, why L=C ?

Different in use of zeta from Wikipedia page
The Wikipedia entry for RLC circuits uses $$\zeta = \frac{\alpha}{\omega_0}$$. This page uses $$\zeta$$ in the way that that page uses $$\alpha$$.

I agree. I'm pretty sure that the definition given here is incorrect. The correct definition is the one on the Wikipedia page
