9. Power Batteries & Resistors Energy expended chemical to electrical to heat What’s happening? Assert: Rate is: Charges per time Potential difference per charge Units okay? For Resistors: or you can write it as

10. More complex now…  R C I I Let’s try to add a Capacitor to our simple circuit Recall voltage “drop” on C ? Write KVL: KVL gives Differential Equation ! What’s wrong here? Consider that and substitute. Now eqn has only “ Q ”.

11. The Big Idea Previously: –Analysis of multi-loop circuits with batteries and resistors. –Main Feature: Currents are attained instantaneously and do not vary with time!! Now: –Just added a capacitor to the circuit. –What changes?? KVL yields a differential equation with a term proportional to Q and a term proportional to I = d Q /dt.

12. The Big Idea Physically, what’s happening is that the final charge cannot be placed on a capacitor instantly. Initially, the voltage drop across an uncharged capacitor = 0 because the charge on it is zero ! ( V = Q / C ) As current starts to flow, charge builds up on the capacitor, the voltage drop is proportional to this charge and increases; it then becomes more difficult to add more charge so the current slows

Lecture 10, ACT 2 At t=0 the switch is thrown from position b to position a in the circuit shown: The capacitor is initially uncharged. –What is the value of the current I 0+ just after the switch is thrown?

14. Lecture 10, ACT 2 At t=0 the switch is thrown from position b to position a in the circuit shown: The capacitor is initially uncharged. –What is the value of the current I 0+ just after the switch is thrown? (a) I 0+ = 0 (b) I 0+ =  /2 R (c) I 0+ = 2  / R a b  R C I I R 2A Just after the switch is thrown, the capacitor still has no charge, therefore the voltage drop across the capacitor = 0! Applying KVL to the loop at t=0+,   IR  0  IR = 0  I =  /2 R

15. Lecture 10, ACT 2 At t=0 the switch is thrown from position b to position a in the circuit shown: The capacitor is initially uncharged. –What is the value of the current I 0+ just after the switch is thrown? 2A (a) I 0+ = 0 (b) I 0+ =  /2 R (c) I 0+ = 2  / R (a) I  = 0 (b) I  =  /2 R (c) I  > 2  / R – What is the value of the current I  after a very long time? 2B The key here is to realize that as the current continues to flow, the charge on the capacitor continues to grow. As the charge on the capacitor continues to grow, the voltage across the capacitor will increase. The voltage across the capacitor is limited to  ; the current goes to 0. a b  R C I I R

16. Behavior of Capacitors Charging –Initially, the capacitor behaves like a wire. –After a long time, the capacitor behaves like an open switch. Discharging –Initially, the capacitor behaves like a battery. –After a long time, the capacitor behaves like a wire.

17. Discharging Capacitor C a b + --  R + I I The capacitor is initially fully charged, Q = Q 0. At t = 0 the switch is thrown from position a to position b in the circuit shown. From KVL: Q (t) must be an exponential function of the form: Therefore, where From initial condition, Q(0) = Q 0, we get:
