Scope of the Systems

Units

You will be expected to analyze Linear, Lumped parameter, time invariant systems.

Volt The Potential difference is the energy required to move a unit charge (the electron) through an element (such as a resistor).

Linear – response is proportional to V or I (no higher order terms needed)

Amp

Lumped Parameter - Electrical effects happen instantaneously in the system. Low frequency or small size (about 1/10 of the wavelength).

Electric current is the time rate of change of the charge, measured in amperes (A). Ohm The resistance R of an element denotes its ability to resist the flow of electric current; it is measured in ohms (Ω).

Time Invariant - The response of the circuit does NOT depend on when the input was applied.

Coulomb The amount of charge that crosses a surface in one second when a steady current of one ampere flows.

A complex number z, consists of the sum of real and imaginary numbers.

Farad Capacitance is the ratio of the charge on one plate of a capacitor to the voltage difference between the two plates - measured in farads (F).

The rectangular form can be found from a phasor with polar magnitude c and an angle θ.

Electrostatics

Electrostatics

Electric charge is a fundamental property of subatomic particles.

An electric field E with units of volts/meter is generated in the vicinity of an electric charge.

A Coulomb equals a very large number of charged particles. This results in a Farad also being a very large number of charged particles. Thus we usually deal with very small amount of charge.

The force applied by the electric field E is defined as the electric flux of a positive charged particle introduced into the electric field.

F = QE

The charge of one electron is -1.602 x 10-19 C.

Electrostatics

Work is performed only if the charges are moved closer or farther apart.

Current is the movement of charge.

For a uniform electric field (such as inside a capacitor), the work done in moving a charge parallel to the E field is

W = −QΔV The last equation says the work done is the charge times the change in voltage the charge experienced by the movement. The electric field strength between two parallel plates with a potential difference V and separated by a distance d is

By convention the current moves in a direction opposite to the flow of electrons. Current is measured in Amperes and is the time rate of change of charge.

If the rate of change in the charge is constant, the current can be written as

DC Circuits

Circuit Symbols

Electrical Circuits contain active and passive elements. Active elements can generate electric energy – voltage sources, current sources, opamps Passive elements absorb or store electric energy – capacitor, inductor, resistor. An ideal voltage source supplies power at a constant voltage regardless of the current the external circuit demands. An ideal current source supplies power at a constant current regardless of the voltage the external circuit demands. Dependent sources deliver voltage and current at levels determined by voltages or currents elsewhere in the circuit.

Determine the contribution (responses) of each independent source to the variable in question. Then sum these responses to find the total response.

Current source = zero when opened. 2. Solve the simplified circuit. 3. Repeat until all independent sources are handled.

Loop-Current Method

The loop-current is also known as the mesh current method.

Loop-Current Method – assign currents in a loop and then write the voltages around a closed path (KVL).

A mesh is a loop which does not contain any other loops within it. Assign mesh currents to all the (n) meshes.

Node-Voltage Method – assign a reference voltage point and write current as voltages and resistances at the node. (KCL).

Apply KVL to each mesh. Express the voltages in terms of Ohm’s law – i.e. currents and resistances. Solve the resulting (n) simultaneous equations.

Node-Voltage Method

Example – Loop-current Method

The node-voltage method is also known as nodal analysis. 1. Convert all current sources to voltage sources. 2. Chose a node as the voltage reference node. Usually this is the circuit’s signal ground.

Write the mesh equation for loop I1. −10V + I1 (10Ω) + ( I1 − I 2 ) (30Ω) + I1 (20Ω) = 0

3. Write the KCL equations at all unknown nodes

I1 (60Ω) − I 2 (30Ω) = 10V

Remember you are writing the sum of all currents entering a node are equal to the sum of all current leaving a node.

Write the mesh equation for loop I2.

( I 2 − I1 ) (30Ω) + I 2 (10Ω) + I 2 (20Ω) = 0

A convention is to assume all currents are leaving the node - the direction of the voltage drop is away from the node.

− I1 (30Ω) + I 2 (60Ω) = 0

Solve for the currents. − I1 (30Ω) + I 2 (60Ω) = 0 ⇒ I 2 = 12 I1 10V (60Ω) − 12 I1 (30Ω) = 10V ⇒ I1 = = 0.22 Amps 45Ω

Admittance

Ohm’s Law for AC Circuits

The reciprocal of impedance is the complex quantity admittance Y.

Ohm’s Law for AC circuits is valid when the voltages and currents are expressed in similar manner. Either peak or effective but not a mixture of the two.

Complex Power

Complex Power

The complex power vector S is also called the apparent power in units of volts-amps (VA).

The power factor angle is defined as

S is the vector sum of the real (true, active) power vector P and the imaginary reactive power vector Q.

p. f . = cos θ Since the cosine is positive for both positive and negative angles – we must add a description to the power factor angle.

S = I * V = P + jQ

Lagging p.f. is an inductive circuit.

The real power P in units of watts (W) is

Leading p.f. is a capacitive circuit.

P = 12 Vmax I max cos θ = Vrms I rms cos θ = S cos θ

Power factor correction is the proces of adding inductance or capacitance to a circuit in order to achieve a p.f. = cos (0) = 1.

The reactive power Q in units of volts-amps reactive (VAR) is

Q = 12 Vmax I max sin θ = Vrms I rms sin θ = S sin θ 4/5/2010

Resonance

The average power of a purely resistive circuit is

Pave = Vrms I rms =

4/5/2010

In a resonant circuit at the resonant frequency, the input voltage and current are in phase and the phase angle is zero.

2 Vrms 2 = I rms R R

Thus the circuit appear to be purely resistive in its response to this AC voltage (again at the resonant frequency).

For a purely reative load p.f. = 0 and the real aveage power = 0.

The circuit is characterized in terms of resonant frequency ω0, the bandwidth B, and the quality factor Q.

Pave = Vrms I rms cos 90D = 0

Each of these parameters can be found from the circuit element values.

Transformers

Good Luck on the FE/EIT Exam! Transformers are used to change voltage levels, match impedances, and electrical isolate circuits.

It is a time exam. Answer what you know. Mark what you might know and come back later. Do not get bogged down on a few long questions. Move along!

The turns ratio a indicates how the magnetic flux links to the mutual inductances of the transformer.

It is a multiple choice exam. Look for hints in the answers.

V I N a = 1 = primary = sec ondary N 2 Vsec ondary I primary

If totally in doubt – Guess. Use your intuition and science to guess.

A lossless transformer is called an ideal transformer. The secondary impedance can be expressed as a reflected impedance given by

Z EQ =

V primary I primary

= Z primary + a 2 Z sec ondary
