Study Notes
AC vs DC
- AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) are two types of electric current flow.
- AC varies with time, typically represented as a sinusoidal waveform, while DC remains constant.
Sources
- AC and DC sources are essential for various applications, including powering electronic devices and appliances.
Output
- Output characteristics differ between AC and DC, influencing their respective applications in circuits.
Behavior of Passive Elements
- Passive elements (resistors, capacitors, inductors) behave differently under AC and DC conditions, affecting circuit analysis.
Phasors
- A phasor is a complex number that conveys the amplitude and phase of a sinusoidal waveform.
- Complex numbers can be expressed in three forms:
- Rectangular: ( z = x + jy )
- Polar: ( z = r \angle \phi )
- Exponential: ( z = re^{j\phi} )
Sinusoid-Phasor Transformation
- Time-domain representation of voltage and current converts to phasor-domain representation:
- Voltage: ( V_m \sin(\omega t + \phi) ) becomes ( V_m \angle \phi )
- Current: ( I_m \sin(\omega t + \theta) ) becomes ( I_m \angle \theta )
- The sinusoidal functions are transformed to simplify calculations in AC circuits.
Question on Phasor Form
- For the function ( v(t) = 45 \sin(30t + 50°) ), the phasor form is represented as ( 45 \angle 50° ).
Alternating Waveforms
- Refer to waveforms frequently used in signal and power systems, distinguished by their periodic nature.
Faraday’s Law
- Faraday's law defines the induced electromotive force (E) as proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux (( \frac{d\Phi}{dt} )), described by ( E = -N \frac{d\Phi}{dt} ).
Sinusoidal AC Voltage
- Waveform describes the graphical representation of voltage over time.
- Instantaneous value reflects the magnitude at any moment, typically denoted by lowercase letters (e.g., e1, e2).
- Peak amplitude represents the maximum magnitude from the average value (Em).
Key Terminology in Sinusoidal AC Voltage
- Peak Value: The highest instantaneous value from the zero level.
- Peak-to-Peak Value: The total of positive and negative peaks, denoted as (( E_{p-p} )).
- Periodic Waveform: A waveform that repeats itself at regular intervals.
- Period (T): Time taken for one complete cycle of a periodic waveform.
- Cycle: Part of the waveform within a single period.
- Frequency (f): Number of cycles per second, measured in hertz (Hz).
Example Calculation
- To find the period of a periodic waveform:
- For a frequency of 60 Hz, the period is ( T = \frac{1}{60} \approx 0.01667 ) seconds.
- For a frequency of 1000 Hz, the period is ( T = \frac{1}{1000} = 0.001 ) seconds.
