What’s Important in Chapter 4 Definitions, Concepts & Units Capacitor characteristics Inductor characteristics LCR circuits in steady-state conditions

1. Definitions, Concepts & Units Capacitor Farad Dielectric Capacitor i-v relationship Capacitor energy storage Inductor Henry Inductor i-v relationship Inductor energy storage

2. Capacitor Characteristics A capacitor stores energy in an electric field Electric field caused by separation of charge Ideal Capacitor acts like an open with respect to DC current Q = CV, or q(t) = Cv(t) ; Farad = Coul / Volt But , so Conversely, v(t) = + -

Combining Capacitors Capacitors in series combine like resistors in parallel Capacitors in parallel combine like resistors in series

Energy Storage in Capacitors Energy is the integral of power, and P = IV An RC circuit C R V

3. Inductors An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field Magnetic field caused by flow of current Ideal inductor acts like a wire with respect to DC current Maxwell’s equations + Lenz’s Law yields v= L (di/dt); Henry = V-s/A Conversely,

Energy Storage in Inductors Combining Inductors Inductors combine like resistors Energy Storage in Inductors Energy is the integral of power
