HKAL Physics Essay writing : Electromagnetism Chapter 17 Alternating Currents 17.1 Energy dissipation in an a.c. circuit I V IR (a) In an a.c. circuit containing reactance : I= V R2 2 , where V is the voltage across the circuit [V, I are r.m.s. values] (b) Rate of heat dissipation, still, = I2R 17.2 RC Circuit 17.2.1 Definition of the reactance of a capacitor It is a measure of the opposition of the capacitor to the passage of alternating current. The reactance of a capacitor depends on its capacitance and the frequency of the applied a.c. 17.2.2 Derivation of the reactance of a capacitor (a) First method I = I0 sint = I 0 dV dQ = C C dt dt sin t dt = C dVC VC = i.e. VC 1 1 cos t = sin(t ) C C 2 has a phase retardation of /2 on current I. Reactance = (VC)rms/(I)rms = 1 C (b) Second method a.c. source of voltage E = E0 sinωt, ω being the angular frequency and t the time First of all neglect R, Current, I = d(CE 0 sin t) dQ = and I = CE0cos t dt dt If R considered, C neglected. Current, I’ = E0/R sin t. Thus for capacitor, effective impedance = I/C compared with R for the resistor. Given condition implies that R < 1/C, i.e. p.d. across R can be neglected. Essay_notes_EM17_18 1/15 17.2.3 Power delivered to the circuit (a) For an a.c. source of voltage E = E0 sinωt, ω being the angular frequency and t the time, current in circuit at any instant is given by equation I = CE0cos t. While the power, P = IE = CE02 sint cost, i.e. P = ½CE02 sin2t (b) Power flows out and into the a.c. source alternately at a frequency double that of the source. 17.3 LR Circuit 17.3.1 Derivation of the reactance of an inductor (a) I = I0 sin t, VL = L dI = LI0 cos t or VL = LI0 sin (t + /2), dt i.e. VL has phase advance of /2 on current I (b) Reactance = (VL)rms/(I)rms = L 17.3.2 Equation of state back e.m.f. p.d. I E K When closing key K (a) back e.m.f., L dI . dt (b) p.d. across R, IR both act in opposite directions to e.m.f. E. Applying Kirchoff Law to circuit, E - L dI - IR = 0. dt 17.3.3 Solution for the current (a) For an a.c. source of voltage E = E0 sinωt. i.e. E0 sin t - L dI - IR = 0. dt (b) Assume the solution of I = P cos t + Q sin t, substitute it into the equation above, we obtain E0 sin t - L(-P sin t + Q cos t) - R(P cos t + Q sin t) = 0 i.e. sin t (E0 + LP - RQ) + cos t (-LQ - RP) = 0 (c) This equation must be satisfied for all values of t. (1) t = 0, LQ + RP = 0 (2) t = /(2), E0 + LP - RQ = 0 Essay_notes_EM17_18 2/15 (d) Solving for Q, equation (2) becomes Q(R + 2L2/R) = E0 and Q = E0 R /(R2 + 2L2) Also P = - LQ/R = - E0 L/(R2 + 2L2) E L E R cos t sin t Expression for current, I = 2 2 2 2 (R L ) (R 2L 2 ) 17.3.4 Energy dissipation as Joule heating (e) Instantaneous power loss due to Joule heating = I2R, say Pdissipated. Substituting, Pdissipated = (f) E R ( R 2 L 2 )2 2 (2L2cos2t - 2LR cos t sin t+ R2sin2t) Considering the time average (over a complete cycle) term by term, cos2t = ½(1 + cos 2t) = ½, cos t sin t = ½ sin 2t = 0, sin2t = ½(1 - cos 2t) = ½, Thus Pdissipated = E R 2( R 2 2 L 2 ) 17.4 LC Oscillator 17.4.1 Definition of s.h.m. (a) At all times the acceleration of the moving body is proportional to its displacement from a fixed point and is directed towards this point. (b) Daily Examples Swinging suspended ceiling lamp, boat bobbing up and down in the sea, child on swing. 17.4.2 Derivation of the solution C V (a) At any time, V = L dI Q = . dt C But current, I = dQ/dt and Hence L dI d 2Q = . dt dt 2 Q d 2Q = . 2 LC dt (b) This equation has a solution Q = Q0 cos 0t, where 0 = i.e. charge (and current) will oscillate with a frequency f0 = Essay_notes_EM17_18 1 LC 1 2 LC . 3/15 17.4.3 Oscillating graph for Q and I with the capacitor fully charged first Charge max C L Charge max (i) (ii) Current max Charge max (iii) (iv) Current max Q (v) charge I time E M energy: electrical (E ) only M magnetic (M) only E E M E only M M only current E E only The p.d. across the capacitor C. VC = Q/C and so the voltage observed in C.R.O. will be of the same wave form as that of Q. (a) C, initially, has max. charge Q - ENERGY IN ELECTRICAL FIELD and I = 0. Current I starts to flow due to p.d. across C and back e.m.f. set up across L (greatest at first, and also dI/dt). (b) Q = 0, all charge transferred from one plate of C to the other. I is in a maximum (no back e.m.f. VC = Q/C) - ENERGY IN MAGNETIC FIELD. (c) Q increases so that polarity of C (plates) is reversed I = 0 when back e.m.f.

Essay_notes_EM17_18 4/15 17.4.5 Comparison with mass-spring system (a) Both involve two kinds of energy which are transferred between the two components within the system, i.e. potential energy of the compressed or stretched spring and the kinetic energy of the mass versus the electric energy in the capacitor and the magnetic energy in the inductor.

(c) The current oscillates with frequency close to f0 (with small resistance) but with decreasing amplitude. (d) Result Current Time Essay_notes_EM17_18 5/15 17.5 Tuning Circuit 17.5.1 Working principle When a radio circuit is tuned by making its natural frequency for electrical oscillations equal to that of the incoming radio signal. The resonant frequency depends on the values of the 1 capacitance and the inductance in the circuit (f ), the smaller the capacitance/inductance LC is, the higher the resonant frequency results. The resistance (usually comes from the inductor) gives rise to the damping. 17.5.2 Practical tuning circuit Aerial L, R C To receiver Earth (a) Radio signals from different transmitting stations induce e.m.f.s of various frequencies in the aerial, which cause currents flowing in the aerial coil. Then currents of the same frequencies are induced in coil L by mutual induction. (b) If C is adjusted so that the resonant frequency of the LCR circuit equals to the frequency of the wanted station, a large current and p.d. at that frequency only will develop across C. (c) This selected and amplified p.d. is then applied to the next stage of the receiver. (d) Improvement : Use an inductor of high L/R ratio so increases the resonant current and hence the voltage across C. 17.6 LRC series circuit 17.6.1 Definition of forced vibration and resonance (a) A dormant physical system A can be excited into forced oscillations by coupled energy transfer from a sustained oscillating system B, though the induced oscillation amplitude will, in general, be small. (b) If the oscillation frequency of B is adjusted to the natural oscillation frequency of A, maximum power transfer will occur and the amplitude of the induced oscillations in system A will maximize – this phenomenon is called resonance. Essay_notes_EM17_18 6/15 17.6.2 Impedance V L - VC = (L - 1/C )I VL = LI VR = IR V I I VC = I/C or Hence impedance, Z V / I R2 (L 17.6.3 VR = IR 1 2 ) C Experiment to measure the r.m.s. current a.c. supply C L, R a.c. supply mA L C R mA or (a) Set up the above circuit, set the signal generator’s output to a value, say 3 V, with a measurable current, and increase the frequency stepwise from a low value, say 10 Hz, check whether the output is constant at the previous setting, 3 V. (b) Then record the corresponding current readings on the a.c. milliammeter, when frequency increases, the current reading rises and then drops. 17.6.4 Maximum energy stored in the capacitor and the inductor C L R V = V0 cos t (a) V02 I 02 [(L (VC)max Imax = VL = LI (L - 1 ) I C I VC = C PHASOR DIAGRAM V I VR = IR 1 2 ) R2 ] C I0 C V0 1 1 2 C 2 1/ 2 [(L ) R ] C I0 = Essay_notes_EM17_18 V0 1 2 [(L ) R 2 ]1/ 2 C 7/15 (b) Hence (EC)max 1 C(Vc )2max 2 V02 1 2 1 2 2[(L ) R2 ] C C 1 2 (EL)max LI02 LV02 1 2 2[(L ) R2 ] C (c) If (EC)max = (EL)max then we have 1 L 2C or 1 LC (d) Due to resistance in circuit, power supplied by the signal generator is needed to sustain oscillations. All power generated is lost in this resistor. 17.7 Resonance, damping and phase relation 17.7.1 General description (a) Oscillator frequency varied until a maximum current observed in the LCR circuit. If the resistance R ~ 0, the Resonant frequency, f0 = 1 2 LC , where L is the inductance and C the capacitance. (b) Damping of the induced current would reduce the sharpness of the frequency response and this would be produced by increasing the resistance R. 17.7.2 Derivation of the relation (a) Considering a capacitor C across which is applied V = V0 sin t. Corresponding current, I = dQ d (CV0 sin t ) = CV0 cos t, that is voltage across = dt dt capacitor lags behind current by /2. Consider an inductor L through which is passed I = I0 sin t. To keep this current flowing, the applied supplied voltage = back e.m.f. = L L dI dt = d (I 0 sin t ) = LI0 cos t, that the voltage across inductor is ahead of current by /2. dt Essay_notes_EM17_18 8/15 (b) Coil VL VR L R VC C V For a pure resistance R, the current and voltage will be in phase. The coil will have both resistance (R) and inductance (L). The instantaneous voltages across the components may be represented by the following phasors : VL = LI, /2 ahead of I; VR = IR, in phase with I, and VC = 1 I , /2 lag behind I. C V VL-VC I VR current f 0 applied frequency Phase /2 f0 0 applied frequency - /2 (c) From phasor diagram it can be seen that : (1) At low frequencies VC >> VL and phase angle will be -ve, tend -/2, that is I ahead by /2. (2) At high frequencies VL >> VC and will be +ve, tend +/2, that I lags applied voltage by /2. (3) At resonance, VL = VC (L 1 ) - at natural oscillation frequency of circuit. Then I = V/R C and is a maximum. (4) Also at resonance = 0, the current is in phase with the applied voltage. Essay_notes_EM17_18 9/15 17.7.3 Dependence of the resonant current on the resistance (a) For circuit with (I) smaller resistance and (II) larger resistance, the current-frequency graph is: I smaller resistance (I) larger resistance (II) f0 f , where f0 = resonant frequency. (b) current I and voltage across resistor VR are in phase, I = VR/R (c) (d) VL0 (e) VR0 VR0 V0 V0 V0 VC0 VC0 For frequency < f0, V lags behind VR, so VR0 < V0 current I0 = 17.7.4 VL0 VL0 VR0 V0 = Imax R R VC0 For frequency = f0, V and VR in phase, so VR0 = V0 current I0 = Imax = VR0 V0 R For frequency > f0, V leads VR, so VR0 < V0 current I0 = VR0 V0 = Imax. R R Practical example of resonance (a) useful - L/C/R tuned circuit for radio, frequency trap for interfering signal, vibrating galvanometer, musical instrument involving tensioned string (not organ pipe!) etc. (b) non-useful - car-vibration at particular engine speed, unwanted oscillations in amplifiers at high frequencies (stray C’s), oscillations in suspended bridges due to wind/marching across etc. Essay_notes_EM17_18 10/15 17.8 Application 17.8.l Low-pass filter (a) Resistance of resistor is independent of the applied frequency. Impedance of inductor is directly proportional to the applied frequency. Impedance of capacitor is inversely proportional to the applied frequency. (b) When frequency is low, VC is large while VL is small and we have VC >> VR >> VL. (c) So any one of the below circuits is a low-pass filter. multifrequency signal 17.8.2 Low f Low f Low f LRC Smoothing Circuit (a) Smoothing capacitor C1 L + rectified unsmoothed p.d. - + C1 C2 d.c. output - Initially C1 is charged up as the rectified input voltage increases. When the input voltage decreases, charge and energy are released through the load. As the time constant (or capacitance) is large, the p.d. across the capacitor cannot follow the variations of the input voltage, thus a more or less constant p.d. is maintained. charging discharging Essay_notes_EM17_18 11/15 (b) Time constant charging A Rectified unsmoothed p.d.

(ii) When this voltage is applied across L and C2 in series. L offers a much greater impedance to the a.c. component than C2. Hence most of the unwanted a.c. ripples appear across L. (iii) For the d.c. component, C2 has infinite resistance, and the whole of this component is developed across C2 except for the small drop due to the resistance of L. (iv) The filter thus acts as a potential divider, separating d.c. from a.c. and giving steady d.c. output across C2.
