Implementation of a Mobile Application for Teaching and Analyzing RLC Circuits

Abstract

RLC circuits are fundamental topics for engineering undergraduate students especially in electrical and electronics majors, and they have numerous applications to design electrical circuits. Medical devices, mobile phones, computers, FM radios, and TVs are just a few examples that use different forms of RLC circuits. Although the circuits are very useful for an intended application, step-by-step calculations must be done to analyze the behavior of each component in the circuitry. In this study, a mobile application was developed to catch the difference between two types of RLC circuits, series and parallel, and understand the effects of each components’ value change by checking simulation results.
