Study Notes
Practical Voltage and Current Sources
- A practical voltage source can be replaced by a current source in parallel with an internal resistance RS, and vice versa.
- The internal resistance RS is the key to transforming between voltage and current sources.
Star-Delta Transformation
- Star connection and delta connection are two methods of connecting three basic elements that cannot be further simplified into series or parallel.
- These two ways of representation can have equivalent circuits in either form.
Generation of Sinusoidal AC Voltage
- A rotating coil in a uniform magnetic field induces an emf according to Faraday's Law.
- The flux linking the coil changes as it rotates, inducing an emf that varies sinusoidally.
Transformer
- A transformer is a device that transfers electric energy from one AC circuit to one or more circuits, either increasing or reducing the voltage.
- It is used to reduce voltage for low-voltage devices or raise voltage for long-distance transmission.
- The transformer works on Faraday's law of mutual induction, requiring an alternating flux for mutual induction between the primary and secondary windings.
Ideal and Practical Transformers
- An ideal transformer has no losses (core losses, copper losses, etc.), 100% efficiency, and zero leakage reactance.
- In an ideal transformer, the leakage flux is considered nil.
- Practical transformers have losses and non-ideal characteristics.
Dependent Sources
- Dependent or controlled sources have a value that depends on the voltage or current at another location in the circuit.
- Types of dependent sources:
- Voltage-controlled voltage source (VCVS): output is controlled by another voltage in the circuit (e.g., idealized amplifier).
- Current-controlled voltage source (CCVS): output is controlled by a current in the circuit.
- Voltage-controlled current source (VCCS): output is controlled by a voltage in the circuit.
- Current-controlled current source (CCCS): output is controlled by a current in the circuit.
This quiz covers the concept of practical voltage and current sources, their characteristics, and how to equate them. It involves the internal resistance of the sources and their behavior with load resistances.
