Study Notes
AC Circuit Basics
- The current through a resistor in an AC circuit is in phase with the voltage.
- The current in an AC circuit with an inductor lags the voltage by 90 degrees.
- The current in an AC circuit with a capacitor leads the voltage by 90 degrees.
- To represent the phase relationship between voltage and current, we use phasors, which are vectors that rotate about the origin with angular velocity ω.
- The vertical component of a phasor represents the instantaneous value of the quantity it represents.
- The magnitude of a phasor represents the peak value of the quantity it represents.
Impedance
- Impedance (Z) is the total opposition to current flow in an AC circuit.
- Impedance is the combination of resistance (R) and reactance (X).
- Reactance is the opposition to current flow due to capacitance and inductance.
- Impedance is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: Z = √(R² + X²)
Power in AC Circuits
- The power dissipated in an AC circuit is given by P = I²R, where I is the RMS current.
- The power factor (cos φ) is a measure of how efficiently power is being transferred.
- A power factor of 1 means that all of the power is being used to do work.
- A power factor of 0 means that none of the power is being used to do work.
Resonance
- Resonance in an AC circuit occurs when the inductive reactance (XL) is equal to the capacitive reactance (XC).
- At resonance, the impedance of the circuit is at its minimum value.
- The resonant frequency (ω₀) is given by ω₀ = 1/√(LC).
- Resonance is a key concept in radio transmission and reception.
Transformers
- A transformer changes the voltage of an AC circuit.
- A step-up transformer increases the voltage.
- A step-down transformer decreases the voltage.
- Transformers do not violate the law of conservation of energy because the power remains constant.
- Power is calculated by P = VI, so if the voltage is increased, the current is decreased proportionally.
- Transformers are essential for transmitting electricity over long distances.
