Driven LRC circuits• Last time we discovered that an LC

circuit was a natural oscillator:LC

R

• However, the resistance of any real inductor will cause oscillations to damp out, unless we can supply energy at the rate the resistor dissipates it! How? A sinusoidally varying emf (AC generator) will sustain sinusoidal current oscillations!

LC

• Very useful → TV, radio, computer clocks, …

osintGeneric problem: we are given an “ac voltage source” “driving” a circuit

We need to find the current that flows: I(t)=Iosin(t-) It is also sinusoidal at the same frequency, possibly with some “phase” angle relative to the voltage source

Page 4: LRC Circuits  & Filters

Preview• Our goal is to understand how an AC LRC circuit works.

• Physical picture of each object:

– Source: produces an oscillating voltage (supplies whatever

current the rest of the circuit “requires”)

– Resistor: causes a voltage drop when a current flows

through. As soon as the voltage changes, so does the

current  always in phase.

– Capacitor: resists change in charge Q resists change in

voltage . voltage across capacitor lags behind (90˚) the

current (charge leaving & entering the plates).

– Inductor: resists change in magnetic flux resists change

in current. current always lags voltage (90˚).

AC CircuitsSeries LRC• Statement of problem:

Given = msint, find I(t).

Everything else will follow.

• We could solve this equation with tons of algebra involving sin(t) and cos(t); or with simple complex algebra.

• We will do neither, but start by considering simple circuits with one element (R, C, or L) in addition to the driving emf.

Page 11: LRC Circuits  & Filters

What is reactance?You can think of it as a frequency-dependent resistance.

For high ω, χC~0

- Capacitor looks like a wire (“short”)

For low ω, χC∞

- Capacitor looks like a break

1CX C

For low ω, χL~0

- Inductor looks like a wire (“short”)

For high ω, χL∞

- Inductor looks like a break(inductors resist change in current)

AC Circuits, Quantitative• Our goal is to calculate the voltages across the various elements, and also the current flowing through the circuit.

• If these were just three resistors inseries, we could calculate the net resistance simply by adding the individual resistances.

• Because current and voltage are 90out of phase for the capacitor and the inductor, a straight sum does not work (unless you use complex numbers, which we don’t in P212).

• Instead we use “phasors”, a geometric way to visualize an oscillating function (avoiding nasty trig. or complex numbers).

• A phasor is a rotating “vector” whose magnitude is the maximum value of a quantity (e.g., V or I).

–The instaneous value is the projection on the y-axis.–The phasor rotates at the drive frequency . (Appendix)

Phasors

Problem: Given Vdrive = εm sin(ωt),find VR, VL, VC, iR, iL, iC

Strategy:

We will use Kirchhoff’s voltage law that the (phasor)sum of the voltages VR, VC, and VL must equal Vdrive.

1. Draw VR phasor along x-axis (this direction is chosen for convenience). Note that since VR = iRR, this is also the direction of the

current phasor iR. Because of Kirchhoff’s current law, iL = iC = iR ≡ i (i.e., the same current flows through each element).

2. Next draw the phasor for VL. Since the inductor current iL always lags VL draw VL 90˚ further counterclockwise. The

length of the VL phasor is iL XL = i L

VR = i R

VL = i XL

3. The capacitor voltage VC always lags iC draw VC 90˚ further clockwise.

The length of the VC phasor is iC XC = i /C

VR = i R

VL = i XL

VC = i XC

The lengths of the phasors depend on R, L, C, and ω. The relative orientation of the VR, VL, and VC phasors is always the way we have drawn it. Memorize it!

• From this diagram we can now easily calculate quantities of interest, like the net current i , the maximum voltage across any of the elements, and the phase between the current the drive voltage (and thus the power).

Appendix: Phasors• A phasor is a “vector” whose magnitude is the maximum value

of a quantity (e.g., V) and which rotates counterclockwise in a 2-d plane with angular velocity . Recall uniform circular motion:

When the current through the circuit is maximum, what is the potential difference across the inductor?

a) VL = 0

b) VL = VLmax/2

c) VL = VLmax

When the capacitor is fully charged, what is the magnitude of the voltage across the inductor?

a) VL = 0 b) VL = VLmax/2 c) VL = VLmax

The phasor picture corresponds to a snapshot at some time t. The projections of the phasors along the vertical axis are the actual values of the voltages at the given time. One can draw the phasors at different times, simply by rotating the entire diagram. With this understanding, other questions can be easily answered…

Page 29: LRC Circuits  & Filters

Explanation:

Since the current and VL are 90 degrees out of phase, when the current is at a maximum, VL will be at 0. When the capacitor is fully charged, the current through the circuit will be 0, and the magnitude of L will be at a maximum.

VL will actually be at a minimum because VC and VL are 180 degrees out of phase.
