Inductance, Capacitance and Resistance • As Previously Discussed Inductors and Capacitors Create Loads on a Circuit Inductance, capacitance and resistance • As previously discussed inductors and capacitors create loads on a circuit. • This is called reactance. • It varies depending on current and frequency. • At no frequency, or DC there is no reactance. • At low frequency capacitors create the most reactance • At high frequency inductors create the most reactance Inductance, capacitance and resistance • Since inductive reactance varies with frequency and inductance the formula for this is Xl=2pfL where f is frequency and L is Henrys and Xl is in Ohms. • Ohms law for inductance is the same as that used to combine resistances in series and parallel circuits. • An inductor will cause current to lag behind voltage because induced voltage resists current changes. Inductance, capacitance and resistance • Since capacitive reactance varies with frequency and capacitance the formula for this is Xc=1/(2pfC) where f is frequency and C is Farads and Xc is in Ohms. • Ohms law for capacitance is inverted from that used to combine resistances in series and parallel circuits. • A capacitor will cause voltage to lag behind current because at 0 volts charge the circuit will be at maximum current. Inductance, capacitance and resistance • Therefore capacitive and inductive reactance counter, or cancel each other. • Their effect on phase counters the other’s phase effect. • ELI the ICEman • E leads I with an L (inductor) • I leads E with a C (capacitor) Inductance, capacitance and resistance • Since resistance doesn’t effect phase the net of the two reactances, with the lessor subtracted from the greater, will act upon total impedance at 90° to resistance. • But since reactance is already expressed in the form of Ohms in a purely reactive circuit Ohms laws applies normally for a purely inductive or capacitive circuit. Inductance, capacitance and resistance • Since both reactance’s cause current to lead or lag by 90° they must be added to resistances using the Pythagorean theorem. • C2 = A2 + B2 2 2 2 • Zt = R + X(c-l or l-c) • Zt = the circuits total opposition to current flow. • If the circuit has no AC, or inductors and capacitors then Zt = Rt Inductance, capacitance and resistance • Ohms law works for AC circuits with inductors, capacitors and resistances. • Series circuits solve for impedance first, in parallel solve for currents since the V-drop is the same across each leg. Inductance, capacitance and resistance • Resonance is when the frequency is such that a capacitor in series with an inductor cancel each other’s reactance. • Similar resonance in a parallel circuit with an inductor and capacitor will have infinite resistance at a resonant frequency. Inductance, capacitance and resistance • Power factor is 100% in DC circuits. • It is the ratio of apparent power to true power. Inductance, capacitance and resistance • Apparent Power is that derived from measuring voltage and current in an AC circuit and multiplying them. • True power is the power actually used by the resistive load and does not contain the power lost to reactance. • Power factor = 100 X True Power / Apparent Power Inductance, capacitance and resistance Xl= 2pfL Xc= 1/(2pfC) Rt= R 2 2 2 270 W Z = Rt + (Xc-Xl) 110V 400hz It = E/Z 300mf 31mH Inductance, capacitance and X = 2pfL resistance l Xc= 1/(2pfC) Rt= R It = E/Z 270 W 300mf 110V 400htz 31mH 2 2 2 Z = R·Xl·Xc/v(Xl ·Xc +(R·Xl-R·Xc) ) Transformers • A transformer is a set of two or more inductors in close proximity whose purpose is to exchange voltage for current in an AC circuit. • If the voltage or current is incorrect for a given application it can be transformed up or down. • The catch is if one goes up, the other must go down. • The other catch is this will lose some power within the circuit. Transformers Transformers • Essentially one inductive coil will have thicker wire with fewer loops or turns than the other. • They can be high current or high voltage coils depending on what they need for output. Transformers Transformers Transformers • Generally a “step up” or “step down” transformer refers to the voltage being “stepped”. • The unit can include a rectifier to convert the output to DC. • It can have multiple coils tapped into at various points internally for a series of different outputs from one unit. Transformers Transformers • They can be cooled, often in an oil bath. • They are limited by the apparent power being driven through them. • Excessive power input or output can overheat them. • They can have different cores from iron to air. Transformers Transformers • They can fully isolate one part of a circuit from another such that electrons do not actually travel through the transformer. • or they can be wired such that the circuit is not isolated. • They are very efficient, loosing a little power to heat and hysterisis. • But they are inductors so will effect the impedance of the AC circuit. Transformers Transformers Transformers Transformers Transformers Transformers Transformers Transformers Transformers • Transformers will cause the voltage of an AC circuit to be 180° out of phase between the primary and secondary windings. • This is because the current is 90° out of phase with the primary voltage and the secondary voltage is 90° out of phase with that current. • Consequently a circuit with multiple transformers must be designed to accommodate phase effect. Transformers Transformers • Another neat feature of transformers is that they use almost no power when “idling” in an AC circuit. • In other words when there is no load on the secondary circuit the counter EMF in the primary cancels out almost all current flow in that winding. Transformers • They can be single dual or three phase. • Each winding will need a reciprocal winding. Transformers Transformers Transformers • Their cores will be laminated to reduce eddy current effects. • And they can have a core that moves into and out of the coil. • This makes it an adjustable transformer which can be used to tune a circuit. • Capacitors can also be made variable for the same reason. Transformers Motors • Motors are electronic devices. If it operates by internal combustion it is properly called an engine. • Like a generator, the relationship of motion, current flow and direction of the magnetic lines of flux will determine what an electric motor will do. Motors Motors • Since the left hand rule for generators defines current flow based upon motion direction a reverse rule, the right hand rule for motors defines the motion direction based upon current flow. • Each respective finger remains the same with the index finger defining the lines of flux from north to south, the thumb defines the motion force, and the middle finger points to the direction of current flow. Motors • This is because of the original left hand rule which describes the behavior of flux around a current carrying conductor. • In this case the lines of force below the conductor are in the same direction and repel, while the lines above are opposite and attract. Motors • Since this force applied will vary depending on the direction the conductor travels, and since the direction varies since the conductor is on a rotating “armature” it would eventually hit neutral force and then begin to reverse force. • So, more than one conductor is used, there is a switching commutator, and the armature has a lot of mass to ensure momentum. Motors Motors • In some strategies they have more than one brush assembly riding on the commutator. • This allows more than one set of conductors to apply torque at the same time, but it will also require a second set of field poles. Motors • Motors, like anything, have different phases of operation, and different operating needs to meet each specific application. • All will need special attention to start spinning, some make their power through high RPM and low torque, other have a reverse need. • Some are also combined with a generator function. Motors • Like generators there are permanent magnet and electro magnet motors. • Typically permanent mag motors are only used in small unit application. • Whereas high load/torque units usually utilize electro magnetic fields. • These can also be wired in series or parallel with the armature, or both with a split field. Motors • Like generators, motors a have problems with armature reaction. • They also generate counter EMF as a result of their motion. • This is in fact what limits their maximum speed. • As a motor approaches this maximum no load speed it’s current flow will reduce to very little. Motors • If load is applied, RPM will reduce, current flow will increase attempting to reestablish EMF and counter EMF balance. • As load is increased, RPM is decreased, and current is increased. Motors • In a series wound motor all the current travels through both the field and armature. • This allows for a very high torque at low speeds. • This is a good design for high load low speed such as a starter motor. • But these don’t limit well and will go to very high speed if not loaded. • Field windings are heavy with fewer turns. Motors Motors Motors Motors • In a parallel, or shunt would motor the field is wound with finer wire since there is no armature in line to provide resistance. • Consequently these motors don’t start well, but are fairly stable in “cruise” RPM. • These units are often known as constant speed motors, although they do vary RPM slightly due to changes in load. Motors Motors • But, they will need some strategy to get started. • One is to unload them during start, another is to include a small series field to assist starting, or they may have alternative starting strategies if they are an AC motor.

    Units in electromagnetism Almost all textbooks on electricity and magnetism (including Griffiths’s book) use the same set of units | the so-called rationalized or Giorgi units. These have the advantage of common use. On the other hand there are all sorts of \0"s and \µ0"s to memorize. Could anyone think of a system that doesn't have all this junk to memorize? Yes, Carl Friedrich Gauss could. This problem describes the Gaussian system of units.

  • On the First Electromagnetic Measurement of the Velocity of Light by Wilhelm Weber and Rudolf Kohlrausch
    Andre Koch Torres Assis On the First Electromagnetic Measurement of the Velocity of Light by Wilhelm Weber and Rudolf Kohlrausch Abstract The electrostatic, electrodynamic and electromagnetic systems of units utilized during last century by Ampère, Gauss, Weber, Maxwell and all the others are analyzed. It is shown how the constant c was introduced in physics by Weber's force of 1846. It is shown that it has the unit of velocity and is the ratio of the electromagnetic and electrostatic units of charge. Weber and Kohlrausch's experiment of 1855 to determine c is quoted, emphasizing that they were the first to measure this quantity and obtained the same value as that of light velocity in vacuum. It is shown how Kirchhoff in 1857 and Weber (1857-64) independently of one another obtained the fact that an electromagnetic signal propagates at light velocity along a thin wire of negligible resistivity. They obtained the telegraphy equation utilizing Weber’s action at a distance force. This was accomplished before the development of Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory of light and before Heaviside’s work. 1. Introduction In this work the introduction of the constant c in electromagnetism by Wilhelm Weber in 1846 is analyzed. It is the ratio of electromagnetic and electrostatic units of charge, one of the most fundamental constants of nature. The meaning of this constant is discussed, the first measurement performed by Weber and Kohlrausch in 1855, and the derivation of the telegraphy equation by Kirchhoff and Weber in 1857. Initially the basic systems of units utilized during last century for describing electromagnetic quantities is presented, along with a short review of Weber’s electrodynamics.

  • Chapter 32 Inductance and Magnetic Materials
    Chapter 32 Inductance and Magnetic Materials The appearance of an induced emf in one circuit due to changes in the magnetic field produced by a nearby circuit is called mutual induction. The response of the circuit is characterized by their mutual inductance. Can we find an induced emf due to its own magnetic field changes? Yes! The appearance of an induced emf in a circuit associated with changes in its own magnet field is called self-induction. The corresponding property is called self-inductance. A circuit element, such as a coil, that is designed specifically to have self-inductance is called an inductor. 1 32.1 Inductance Close: As the flux through the coil changes, there is an induced emf that opposites this change. The self induced emf try to prevent the rise in the current. As a result, the current does not reach its final value instantly, but instead rises gradually as in right figure. Open: When the switch is opened, the flux rapidly decreases. This time the self- induced emf tries to maintain the flux. When the current in the windings of an electromagnet is shut off, the self-induced emf can be large enough to produce a spark across the switch contacts. 2 32.1 Inductance (II) Since the self-induction and mutual induction occur simultaneously, both contribute to the flux and to the induced emf in each coil. The flux through coil 1 is the sum of two terms: N1Φ1 = N1(Φ11 + Φ12 ) The net emf induced in coil 1 due to changes in I1 and I2 is d V = −N (Φ + Φ ) emf 1 dt 11 12 3 Self-Inductance It is convenient to express the induced emf in terms of a current rather than the magnetic flux through it.

(August 2011) Guadalupe Giselle González Domínguez, B.S., Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Mehrdad Ehsani In all energy systems, the parameters necessary to calculate power are the same in functionality: an effort or force needed to create a movement in an object and a flow or rate at which the object moves. Therefore, the power equation can generalized as a function of these two parameters: effort and flow, P = effort × flow. Analyzing various power transfer media this is true for at least three regimes: electrical, mechanical and hydraulic but not for magnetic. This implies that the conventional magnetic system model (the reluctance model) requires modifications in order to be consistent with other energy system models. Even further, performing a comprehensive comparison among the systems, each system’s model includes an effort quantity, a flow quantity and three passive elements used to establish the amount of energy that is stored or dissipated as heat.

Received: 17 January 2020; Accepted: 7 February 2020; Published: 11 February 2020 Abstract: Hollow Co3O4 nanoboxes constructed by numerous nanoparticles were prepared by using a facile method consisting of precipitation, solvothermal and annealing reactions. The desirable hollow structure as well as a highly porous morphology led to synergistically determined and enhanced supercapacitor performances. In particular, the hollow Co3O4 nanoboxes were comprehensively investigated to achieve further optimization by tuning the sizes of the nanoboxes, which were well controlled by initial precipitation reaction. The systematical electrochemical measurements show that the optimized Co3O4 electrode delivers large specific capacitances of 1832.7 and 1324.5 F/g at current densities of 1 and 20 A/g, and only 14.1% capacitance decay after 5000 cycles. The tunable synthesis paves a new pathway to get the utmost out of Co3O4 with a hollow architecture for supercapacitors application. Keywords: Co3O4; hollow nanoboxes; supercapacitors; tunable synthesis 1. Introduction Nowadays, the growing energy crisis has enormously accelerated the demand for efficient, safe and cost-effective energy storage devices [1,2]. Because of unparalleled advantages such as superior power density, strong temperature adaptation, a fast charge/discharge rate and an ultralong service life, supercapacitors have significantly covered the shortage of conventional physical capacitors and batteries, and sparked considerable interest in the last decade [3–5].

  • Capacitor and Inductors
    Capacitors and inductors We continue with our analysis of linear circuits by introducing two new passive and linear elements: the capacitor and the inductor. All the methods developed so far for the analysis of linear resistive circuits are applicable to circuits that contain capacitors and inductors. Unlike the resistor which dissipates energy, ideal capacitors and inductors store energy rather than dissipating it. Capacitor: In both digital and analog electronic circuits a capacitor is a fundamental element. It enables the filtering of signals and it provides a fundamental memory element. The capacitor is an element that stores energy in an electric field. The circuit symbol and associated electrical variables for the capacitor is shown on Figure 1. i C + v - Figure 1. Circuit symbol for capacitor The capacitor may be modeled as two conducting plates separated by a dielectric as shown on Figure 2.
