Copyright R. Janow – Fall 2015 Resonance in a series LCR circuit R L C E Vary  D : At resonance maximum current flows & impedance is minimized inductance dominates current lags voltage capacitance dominates current leads voltage width of resonance (selectivity, “Q”) depends on R. Large R  less selectivity, smaller current at peak damped spring oscillator near resonance

Copyright R. Janow – Fall 2015 Power in AC Circuits Resistors always dissipate power, but the instantaneous rate varies as i 2 (t)R No power is lost in pure capacitors and pure inductors in an AC circuit –Capacitor stores energy during two 1/4 cycle segments. During two other segments energy is returned to the circuit –Inductor stores energy when it produces opposition to current growth during two ¼ cycle segments (the source does work). When the current in the circuit begins to decrease, the energy is returned to the circuit

Copyright R. Janow – Fall 2015 Instantaneous and RMS (average) power Instantaneous power consumption Power is dissipated in R, not in L or C Cos 2 (x) is always positive, so P inst is always positive. But, it is not constant. Pattern for power repeats every  radians (T/2) The RMS power, current, voltage are useful, DC-like quantities Integrate: P av is an “RMS” quantity: “Root Mean Square” Square a quantity (positive) Average over a whole cycle Compute square root. In practice, divide peak value by sqrt(2) for I m or E m since cos 2 (x) appears For any R, L, or C Household power example: 120 volts RMS  170 volts peak Integral = 1/2 cos 2 (  )

Claim (proven below): |Z| I rms E rms  DtDt X L -X C R Proof: start with instantaneous power (not very useful): Change variables: Average it over one full period  : Use trig identity:

Copyright R. Janow – Fall 2015 A 240 V (RMS), 60 Hz voltage source is applied to a series LCR circuit consisting of a 50- ohm resistor, a 0.5 H inductor and a 20  F capacitor. Find the capacitive reactance of the circuit: Find the inductive reactance of the circuit: The impedance of the circuit is: The phase angle for the circuit is: The RMS current in the circuit is: The average power consumed in this circuit is: If the inductance could be changed to maximize the current through the circuit, what would the new inductance L’ be? How much RMS current would flow in that case? Example 3 – Series LCR circuit analysis using RMS values  is positive since X L >X C (inductive)

Janow – Fall 2015 Transformers Faradays Law for primary and secondary: Ideal Transformer iron core zero resistance in coils no hysteresis losses in iron core all field lines are inside core Assume zero internal resistances, EMFs E p, E s = terminal voltages V p, V s Assume: The same amount of flux  B cuts each turn in both primary and secondary windings in ideal transformer (counting self- and mutual-induction) Assuming no losses: energy and power are conserved Turns ratio fixes the step up or step down voltage ratio V p, V s are instantaneous (time varying) but can also be regarded as RMS averages, as can be the power and current.

Process: Replace real variables in time dependent analysis problem with variables written using complex exponentials. Cancel common factors of e i  t and solve remaining algebraic problem. Then return to real solution in time domain.
