Root Locus

Description

Root locus also called Evans locus plots are shown here in a simple Mathcad sheet. This simple Mathcad sheet lets you plot how the roots of a 2-nd order circuit splits as the quality factor increases from a weak value to infinity. Watch the pole splitting for Q = 0.5 and lose their real portion (no more damping) as Q reaches infinity.
