Electric Circuits in Variable State
- Variable state circuits: Current and voltage in elements are not constant over time. Variations include sinusoidal, exponential, step, and more.
- First Kirchhoff's Theorem: The sum of currents entering a node equals zero. Σ 𝑖(𝑘)(𝑡) = 0
- Second Kirchhoff's Theorem: The sum of voltages around a closed loop equals zero. Σ 𝑣(𝑘)(𝑡) = 0
- Power of a one-port element: p(t) = u(t)⋅i(t)
Ideal Passive Circuit Elements
Resistor
- Equation: u(t) = R⋅i(t)
- Power: p(t) = R⋅i²(t)
Capacitor
- Equation: i(t) = C(du(t)/dt) (for receiver convention) or i(t) = -C(du(t)/dt) (for generator convention)
- Voltage across capacitor: u(t) = (1/C)∫i(t)dt + u(t₀)
- Capacitor is a symmetric element
- In DC circuits, capacitor acts as an open circuit.
Inductor
- Equation: u(t) = L(di(t)/dt) (for receiver convention) or u(t) = -L(di(t)/dt) (for generator convention)
- Current through inductor: i(t) = (1/L)∫u(t)dt + i(t₀)
- Inductor is a symmetric element
- In DC circuits, inductor acts as a short circuit.
Energetic Characterization
- Capacitor: Electric energy stored: Wₑ = (1/2)C⋅u²(t)
- Inductor: Magnetic energy stored: Wₘ = (1/2)L⋅i²(t)
Coupled Inductors
- Mutual inductance: Exists between two or more inductors if a changing current in one of them creates a changing magnetic field which influences the current in another.
- Energy: Wₘ=½Lᵢᵢ₁² + ½L₂ᵢ₂² + Mᵢ₁ᵢ₂
- Coupling coefficient (k): a measure of the degree of magnetic coupling
- Perfect coupling (k=1): |M| = √(L₁L₂)
- No coupling (M=0): Inductors are independent.
Ideal Active Circuit Elements
- Ideal voltage source: u(t) = ±e(t)
- Ideal current source: i(t) = ±j(t)
Real Branches
- Combinations of ideal components like resistors, inductors, capacitors, voltage and current sources.
- Equations become more complex to include initial state effects.
Real Branches with Magnetic Coupling Inductors
- Includes the equations for handling magnetic coupling.
