The other is the frequency at which we drive theoscillation. However, the “natural” oscillation usually dies off quickly (exponentially) with time. Therefore in the long run, circuits actuallyoscillate with the frequency at which they are driven. (All this is truefor the gentleman trying to make the lady swing back and forth in thepicture too).We have studied that a loop of wire,spinning in a constant magnetic fieldwill have an induced emf that oscillates with time, € E =Emsin(ωdt)That is, it is an AC generator.Alternating Current:AC’s are very easy to generate, they are also easy to amplify anddecrease in voltage. This in turn makes them easy to send in distributiongrids like the ones that power our homes. Because the interplay of AC and oscillating circuits can be quitecomplex, we will start by steps, studying how currents and voltagesrespond in various simple circuits to AC’s.AC Driven Circuits:1) A Resistor:0=−Rvemf € vR= emf = Emsin(ωdt) € iR=vRR=EmRsin(ωdt)Resistors behave in AC very much as in DC, current and voltage are proportional (as functions of time in the case of AC),that is, they are “in phase”.For time dependent periodic situations it is useful torepresent magnitudes using “phasors”. These are vectorsthat rotate at a frequency d , their magnitude is equalto the amplitude of the quantity in question and theirprojection on the vertical axis represents the instantaneous value of the quantity under study.AC Driven Circuits:2) Capacitors: € vC= emf = Emsin(ωdt) € qC= C emf = CEmsin(ωdt) € iC=dqCdt= ωdCEmcos(ωdt) € iC= ωdCEmsin(ωdt + 900) € iC=EmXsin(ωdt + 900)reactance"" 1 whereCXdω= € im=EmX€ looks like i =VRCapacitors “oppose a resistance” to AC (reactance) of frequency-dependent magnitude 1/d C (this idea is true only for maximum amplitudes, the instantaneous story is more complex).AC Driven Circuits:3) Inductors: € vL= emf = Emsin(ωdt)LdtvidtidLvLLLL∫=⇒= € iL= −EmLωdcos(ωdt) € =EmLωdsin(ωdt − 900) € iL=EmXsin(ωdt − 900) € im=EmXdLX ω= whereInductors “oppose a resistance” to AC (reactance) of frequency-dependent magnitude d L(this idea is true only for maximum amplitudes, the instantaneous story is more complex).All elements in parallel:All elements in parallel:~Emsin(dt)CRLILIRICVR, VC, VLOnce again: • VR is always in phase with IR; • VL leads IL by 900 • IC leads VC by 900• “ELI the ICE man...”Impedance ( or reactance):RX = :ResistorsLXdω= :Inductors)/(1 :Capacitors CXdω=Example:Example:•Circuit shown is driven by a low frequency (5 Hz) voltage source with an rms amplitude of 7.07 V.
