Simulation of RLC Circuit Gaming Project in C++

Explanation

  1. Constants:
    • PI: Mathematical constant π.
  2. Function calculateImpedance(double R, double L, double C, double f):
    • Purpose: Computes the total impedance of the series RLC circuit.
    • Parameters:
      • R: Resistance in ohms.
      • L: Inductance in henries.
      • C: Capacitance in farads.
      • f: Frequency in hertz.
    • Implementation:
      • Angular Frequency: omega = 2 * PI * f.
      • Inductive Reactance: XL = omega * L.
      • Capacitive Reactance: XC = 1 / (omega * C).
      • Impedance Calculation: Z = sqrt(R^2 + (XL - XC)^2).
  3. Function calculateVoltages(double R, double L, double C, double f, double Vsource, double& VR, double& VL, double& VC):
    • Purpose: Calculates the voltage across each component (resistor, inductor, capacitor) based on the source voltage.
    • Parameters:
      • R, L, C, f, Vsource: Same as above, plus Vsource, the source voltage.
      • VR, VL, VC: Output parameters for voltages across the resistor, inductor, and capacitor.
    • Implementation:
      • Uses calculateImpedance to get the total impedance.
      • Calculates voltage drops across each component using voltage division.
  4. Main Function:
    • User Input: Prompts for resistance, inductance, capacitance, frequency, and source voltage.
    • Voltage Calculation: Calls calculateVoltages to compute voltages across each component.
    • Result Display: Outputs the impedance and voltages with two decimal places of precision.

Usage

  • RLC Circuit Simulation: Models the impedance and voltage distribution in a series RLC circuit.
  • Electrical Analysis: Demonstrates how to calculate and interpret impedance and voltages in AC circuits.
