Study Notes
Applications of the Laplace Transform in Electrical Engineering
- The Laplace transform enables a simple and faster creation and solution methodology for differential equations in electrical engineering.
Solving Differential Equations using the Laplace Transform
- The Laplace transform changes differential equations in the time domain into equivalent algebraic equations in the frequency domain.
- The differentiation rule of the Laplace transform is as follows:
- â„’{x(t)} = X(s)
- ℒ{∂x/∂t} = s · X(s) - x(0-)
- ℒ{∂²x/∂t²} = s² · X(s) - s · x(0-) - ∂x(0-)/∂t
- The additional terms in the above equations describe initial boundary conditions, which must be considered.
Impedance in the Frequency Domain
- The impedance in the frequency domain is constant for Ohmic resistance, since the right side of the equation does not show any dependency on the frequency: XR = R
- The complex impedance of an inductance increases with frequency: XL = L · s
- The impedance of a capacitance decreases with frequency: XC = 1/C · s
Voltage-Current Relations for Circuit Elements
- Ohmic resistance:
- Time domain: vR(t) = R · i(t)
- Frequency domain: VR(s) = R · I(s)
- Inductance:
- Time domain: vL(t) = L · ∂iL(t)/∂t
- Frequency domain: VL(s) = L · I(s) · s
- Capacitance:
- Time domain: i(t) = C · ∂vc(t)/∂t
- Frequency domain: IC(s) = C · s · VC(s)
