Chapter 10 – AC Circuits Recall: Element Impedances and Admittances Procedure: Transform sinusoidal time functions to phasors, and convert element to complex impedance/admittance. 2. Apply network reduction, or other circuit principles (KVL, KCL, nodal, mesh, etc.) to determine desired response in phasor form. 3. Transform results to time functions.
Nodal Analysis: Example 1. Find ix using nodal analysis.
Recall: Nodal Analysis with Voltage Sources
Mesh Analysis Example 2. Find I0 using nodal analysis.
Recall Mesh Analysis with Current Sources:
Superposition: - Each source may have its own frequency impedances of elements depend on which source is on. See Example 10.6
Source Transformation:
Thevenin’s Theorem A linear two-terminal circuit can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage source VTh in series with an impedance ZTh, where: VTh = Voc = open-circuit voltage at the terminals ZTh = equivalent impedance at the terminals with all the independent sources turned off.
Example. Find Io using Thevenin’s Theorem.
Norton Equivalent Circuit A linear two-terminal circuit can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a current source IN in parallel with an impedance ZN, where: IN = Isc = short-circuit current through the terminals ZN = equivalent impedance at the terminals with all the independent sources turned off.
OP AMP AC Circuits: Example. Find the voltage gain Av = Vo/Vs.
