Study Notes
Properties of AC Signals
- Objective: To study the basic properties of Alternating Current (AC) waveforms.
Components
- Oscilloscope: Used to display and analyze electrical signals, enabling the study of amplitude, period, frequency, and phase angle.
- Function Generator: Generates input functions for the circuit, capable of producing sinewaves, square waves, triangular waves, and sawtooth waves.
Types of AC Waveforms
- Sine wave
- Square wave
- Triangular wave
- Sawtooth wave
AC Signal Characteristics
- Alternating current changes its direction of flow continuously, unlike direct current (DC).
- Basic parameters of AC waveforms include:
- Peak amplitude
- Root-Mean-Square (RMS) value
- Period
- Frequency
Sinusoidal Waveform
- Mathematically represented by v(t) = vp sin(ω0 t + θv) and i(t) = ip sin(ω0 t + θi)
- Peak amplitude (vp) and RMS value (Vrms) are related by Vrms = 0.707Vp
- Angular frequency (ω0) is related to frequency (f) by ω0 = 2πf
Phase Difference
- Phase angle (θ) can be used to describe the relationship between two sinusoidal waveforms.
- Current can "lag" or "lead" voltage by a phase angle.
- Phase difference can be represented by the equation A(t) = Amax sin(ωt ± Ø)
Phase Relationship
- Two waveforms can be "in-phase" or have a phase difference.
- Current waveform can "lag" or "lead" voltage waveform by a phase angle.
