RL circuits involve a resistor and inductor in series.

RC circuits involve a resistor and capacitor in series.

You can see where the acronyms come from.

How do you measure light intencity?

Measure Light Intensity using Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) The resistance of the Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) varies according to the amount of light that falls on it. The relationship between the resistance RL and light intensity Lux for a typical LDR is RL = 500 / Lux Kohm With the LDR connected to 5V through a 3.3K resistor, the output voltage of the LDR is Vo = 5*RL / (RL+3.3) Reworking the equation, we obtain the light intensity Lux = (2500/Vo - 500)/3.3 For a low cost LDR, at the same light intensity, the part to part variation in resistance can be as high as 50%. Therefore such a low cost LDR is seldom used for measuring light intensity but more for light presence/absence detection.


What law relates to voltage amperage and resistance?

Current is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit. Short form, resistance goes up current goes down, resistance goes down current goes down.This answer is incorrect.First of all, resistance is not affected by a change in voltage or in current. Resistance is only affected by the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of the conductor (and, indirectly, by temperature which affects resistivity).Ohm's Law makes no mention of resistance. It simply states that the current flowing in a circuit is proportional to the applied voltage, providing external factors, such as temperature, remain constant.Since current is proportional to voltage, it must be equal to a constant times voltage. This constant is called conductance, which is the reciprocal of resistance, so the so-called 'Ohm's Law formula' is usually shown as I = V/R. But it's important to remember that the resistance, R, is a constant and does not change if V or I changes.

There is no true advantage of RC circuits over RL circuits, as they perform different functions. RC circuits contain resistors and capacitors, while RL circuits contain resistors and inductors.

Compare the phase relationship between the voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit and an RL circuit?

In a pure resistive circuit the voltage and current are in phase. In an inductive circuit they are fro zero to 180 degrees out of phase. If they are in phase the Power Factor is 1 and 180 degrees the PF is zero. The exact amount of the phase difference depends on the specific circuit.

What is driven RL circuit?

A driven RL circuit is a circuit that contains a resistor (R) and an inductor (L) connected in series with an external source of alternating current (AC) or voltage. The external source provides energy to the circuit, driving the current through the inductor and resistor. This circuit can exhibit interesting behavior such as resonance and phase shifts due to the interplay between the inductive and resistive components.

How can you diffrenciate between natural response and step response?

These are two different cases: Natural respons is when you have a RL or RC circuit that has been connected to a power source suddenly is disconnected with the source. This is displayed with the equation x(t) = X0 * e^-(1/Tau)t The Step respons is when you have a RL or RC circuit and there is a suddenly change in voltage or electricity. This is displayed by the equation x(t) = Xf +[x(t0) -xf]e^-(t-t0)/Tau where f is the point in time where the change happens. tau is in both cases the timeconstant.
