Direct Current Circuits Chapter 18 Direct Current Circuits

Sources of emf The source that maintains the current in a closed circuit is called a source of emf. Any devices that increase the potential energy of charges circulating in circuits are sources of emf. (Ex.batteries and generators) SI units are Volts The emf is the work done per unit charge

emf and Internal Resistance A real battery has some internal resistance Therefore, the terminal voltage is not equal to the emf

More About Internal Resistance The schematic shows the internal resistance, r The terminal voltage is ΔV = Vb-Va ΔV = ε – Ir For the entire circuit, ε = IR + Ir

Internal Resistance and emf, cont ε is equal to the terminal voltage when the current is zero Also called the open-circuit voltage R is called the load resistance The current depends on both the resistance external to the battery and the internal resistance.

Internal Resistance and emf, final When R >> r, r can be ignored Generally assumed in problems

Resistors in Series When two or more resistors are connected end-to-end, they are said to be in series. The current is the same in all resistors. The sum of the potential differences across the resistors is equal to the total potential difference across the combination.

Resistors in Series, cont Potentials add ΔV = IR1 + IR2 = I (R1+R2) The equivalent resistance has the effect on the circuit as the original combination of resistors

Equivalent Resistance – Series Req = R1 + R2 + R3 + …

Equivalent Resistance – Series: An Example Four resistors are replaced with their equivalent resistance

Resistors in Parallel The potential difference across each resistor is the same because each is connected directly across the battery terminals The current, I, that enters a point must be equal to the total current leaving that point I = I1 + I2 The currents are generally not the same

Equivalent Resistance – Parallel, Example Equivalent resistance replaces the two original resistances Household circuits are wired so the electrical devices are connected in parallel Circuit breakers may be used in series with other circuit elements for safety purposes

Equivalent Resistance – Parallel The inverse of the equivalent resistance of two or more resistors connected in parallel is the algebraic sum of the inverses of the individual resistance The equivalent is always less than the smallest resistor in the group

Equivalent Resistance – Complex Circuit

Kirchhoff’s Rules There are ways in which resistors can be connected so that the circuits formed cannot be reduced to a single equivalent resistor Two rules, called Kirchhoff’s Rules can be used instead

Statement of Kirchhoff’s Rules Junction Rule The sum of the currents entering any junction must equal the sum of the currents leaving that junction A statement of Conservation of Charge Loop Rule The sum of the potential differences across all the elements around any closed circuit loop must be zero A statement of Conservation of Energy

More About the Junction Rule I1 = I2 + I3 From Conservation of Charge Diagram b shows a mechanical analog

Setting Up Kirchhoff’s Rules Assign symbols and directions to the currents in all branches of the circuit If a direction is chosen incorrectly, the resulting answer will be negative, but the magnitude will be correct When applying the loop rule, choose a direction for transversing the loop Record voltage drops and rises as they occur

More About the Loop Rule Traveling around the loop from a to b In a, the resistor is transversed in the direction of the current, the potential across the resistor is –IR In b, the resistor is transversed in the direction opposite of the current, the potential across the resistor is +IR

Loop Rule, final In c, the source of emf is transversed in the direction of the emf (from – to +), the change in the electric potential is +ε In d, the source of emf is transversed in the direction opposite of the emf (from + to -), the change in the electric potential is -ε

Junction Equations from Kirchhoff’s Rules Use the junction rule as often as needed, so long as, each time you write an equation, you include in it a current that has not been used in a previous junction rule equation In general, the number of times the junction rule can be used is one fewer than the number of junction points in the circuit

Loop Equations from Kirchhoff’s Rules The loop rule can be used as often as needed so long as a new circuit element (resistor or battery) or a new current appears in each new equation You need as many independent equations as you have unknowns

Problem-Solving Strategy – Kirchhoff’s Rules Draw the circuit diagram and assign labels and symbols to all known and unknown quantities Assign directions to the currents. Apply the junction rule to any junction in the circuit Apply the loop rule to as many loops as are needed to solve for the unknowns Solve the equations simultaneously for the unknown quantities Check your answers

RC Circuits A direct current circuit may contain capacitors and resistors, the current will vary with time When the circuit is completed, the capacitor starts to charge The capacitor continues to charge until it reaches its maximum charge (Q = Cε) Once the capacitor is fully charged, the current in the circuit is zero

Charging Capacitor in an RC Circuit The charge on the capacitor varies with time q = Q(1 – e-t/RC) The time constant, =RC The time constant represents the time required for the charge to increase from zero to 63.2% of its maximum

Notes on Time Constant In a circuit with a large time constant, the capacitor charges very slowly The capacitor charges very quickly if there is a small time constant After t = 10 t, the capacitor is over 99.99% charged

Discharging Capacitor in an RC Circuit When a charged capacitor is placed in the circuit, it can be discharged q = Qe-t/RC The charge decreases exponentially At t =  = RC, the charge decreases to 0.368 Qmax In other words, in one time constant, the capacitor loses 63.2% of its initial charge
