27. Introduction  So far we have looked at the behaviour of systems in response to: – fixed DC signals – constant AC signals  We now turn our attention to the operation of circuits before they reach steady-state conditions – this is referred to as the transient response  We will begin by looking at simple RC and RL circuits DeSiaMorePowered by DeSiaMore27

28. Charging Capacitors and Energising Inductors Capacitor Charging  Consider the circuit shown here – Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law – Now, in a capacitor – which substituting gives DeSiaMorePowered by DeSiaMore28

29.  The above is a first-order differential equation with constant coefficients  Assuming V C = 0 at t = 0, this can be solved to give  Since i = Cdv/dt this gives (assuming V C = 0 at t = 0) – where I = V/R DeSiaMorePowered by DeSiaMore29

30.  Thus both the voltage and current have an exponential form DeSiaMorePowered by DeSiaMore30

31. Inductor energising  A similar analysis of this circuit gives where I = V/R – DeSiaMorePowered by DeSiaMore31

32.  Thus, again, both the voltage and current have an exponential form DeSiaMorePowered by DeSiaMore32

33. Discharging Capacitors and De-energising Inductors Capacitor discharging  Consider this circuit for discharging a capacitor – At t = 0, V C = V – From Kirchhoff’s voltage law – giving DeSiaMorePowered by DeSiaMore33

34.  Solving this as before gives – where I = V/R – DeSiaMorePowered by DeSiaMore34

35.  In this case, both the voltage and the current take the form of decaying exponentials DeSiaMorePowered by DeSiaMore35

36. Inductor de-energising  A similar analysis of this circuit gives – where I = V/R – see Section 18.3.1 for this analysis DeSiaMorePowered by DeSiaMore36

37.  And once again, both the voltage and the current take the form of decaying exponentials DeSiaMorePowered by DeSiaMore37

39. Response of First-Order Systems  Initial and final value formulae – increasing or decreasing exponential waveforms (for either voltage or current) are given by: – where V i and I i are the initial values of the voltage and current – where V f and I f are the final values of the voltage and current – the first term in each case is the steady-state response – the second term represents the transient response – the combination gives the total response of the arrangement DeSiaMorePowered by DeSiaMore39

45. Key Points  The charging or discharging of a capacitor, and the energising and de-energising of an inductor, are each associated with exponential voltage and current waveforms  Circuits that contain resistance, and either capacitance or inductance, are termed first-order systems  The increasing or decreasing exponential waveforms of first- order systems can be described by the initial and final value formulae  Circuits that contain both capacitance and inductance are usually second-order systems. These are characterised by their undamped natural frequency and their damping factor DeSiaMorePowered by DeSiaMore45
