Study Notes
Ohm's Law and its Limitations
- Ohm's Law does not apply to transistors due to their unilateral nature. Transistors form networks where current flow depends on more than simply resistance and voltage.
- Ohm's Law is not applicable to unilateral networks, such as transistors; these networks only allow current flow in one direction.
Charged Spherical Shells
- The electrical potential within a uniformly charged spherical shell is constant.
- The formula for this constant potential is: V = kq/R, where k is a constant, q is the charge, and R is the radius.
- The electric field inside a charged spherical shell is zero.
Electrostatic Shielding
- Electrostatic shielding occurs inside a spherical shell, creating a zone where the electric field is zero.
Alternating Current (AC) Circuits
- Peak Value Calculation: Peak value = RMS value × Peak factor.
- Frequency and Cycles: Frequency × Time = Number of cycles. A 100 Hz AC signal completes 200 cycles in 2 seconds.
- Inaccurate AC Statement: The frequency of an alternating current is always non-zero. A zero frequency indicates direct current (DC).
- Average Value: Average value = RMS value / Form factor
Drift Velocity
- Drift velocity is always opposite to the direction of the electric field.
Current Density
- Current density (J) is calculated as current (I) divided by area (A): J = I/A. For a 30 A current through 0.5 m² area, the current density is 60 A/m².
Power in Series Circuits
- In a series circuit, the resistor with the higher resistance will dissipate more power. This is because the current is the same for all components in series, and power is proportional to both current squared and resistance.
Transformer Basics
- Voltage Transformation: The voltage transformation ratio is the ratio of secondary turns to primary turns, i.e., Vsecondary / Vprimary = Nsecondary / Nprimary .
- Step-up/Step-down: A transformer with more secondary turns than primary turns steps up the voltage. Conversely, a transformer with fewer secondary turns steps down the voltage.
- Induced EMF: Induced emf in the primary is the product of primary turns and the emf induced per turn.
Kirchhoff's Laws
- Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL): The algebraic sum of currents entering and leaving a junction is zero.
- Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL): The algebraic sum of voltages around a closed loop is zero.
Additional Concepts
- Electric Field Direction: The direction of the electric field is tangent to the electric field line.
- Electric Potential: Electric potential is a scalar quantity.
- Electric Field Strength: Crowded electric field lines indicate a strong electric field.
- Electrical Conductivity: Electrical conductivity (σ) is the ratio of current density (J) to electric field (E). σ = J / E
- Current Carriers: Current is carried by electrons.
- Power in an Element: Positive power indicates the element is absorbing power.
- Ideal Transformer Magnetizing Current: When the secondary of an ideal transformer is open, the primary circuit draws magnetizing current.
- DC Characteristics: Direct current (DC) has a magnitude that is constant over time and a frequency of zero. DC can be transmitted over longer distances with reduced power loss.
