Physics-272 Lecture 20 • AC Power • Resonant Circuits • Phasors (2-dim vectors, amplitude and phase) What is reactance ? You can think of it as a frequency-dependent resistance. 1 For high ω, χ ~0 X = C C ωC - Capacitor looks like a wire (“short”) For low ω, χC∞ - Capacitor looks like a break For low ω, χL~0 - Inductor looks like a wire (“short”) XL = ω L For high ω, χL∞ - Inductor looks like a break (inductors resist change in current) ("XR "= R ) An RL circuit is driven by an AC generator as shown in the figure. For what driving frequency ω of the generator, will the current through the resistor be largest a) ω large b) ω small c) independent of driving freq. The current amplitude is inversely proportional to the frequency of the ω generator. (X L= L) Alternating Currents: LRC circuit Figure (b) has XL>X C and (c) has XL<X C . Using Phasors, we can construct the phasor diagram for an LRC Circuit. This is similar to 2-D vector addition. We add the phasors of the resistor, the inductor, and the capacitor. The inductor phasor is +90 and the capacitor phasor is -90 relative to the resistor phasor. Adding the three phasors vectorially, yields the voltage sum of the resistor, inductor, and capacitor, which must be the same as the voltage of the AC source. Kirchoff’s voltage law holds for AC circuits. Also V R and I are in phase. Phasors R ε ω Problem : Given Vdrive = m sin( t), C L find VR, VL, VC, IR, IL, IC ε ∼ Strategy : We will use Kirchhoff’s voltage law that the (phasor) sum of the voltages VR, VC, and VL must equal Vdrive . Phasors, cont. R ε ω Problem : Given Vdrive = m sin( t), C L find VR, VL, VC, IR, IL, IC ε ∼ 2. Next draw the phasor for VL. Since the VL = I XL inductor voltage VL always leads IL V = I R draw VL 90˚ further counterclockwise . The R length of the VL phasor is IL XL = I ωωωL Phasors, cont. R Problem : Given V = ε sin( ωt), drive m C L V V V I I I find R, L, C, R, L, C ε ∼ 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 VR, IRR phasor iR. Because of Kirchhoff’s current ≡ law, IL = IC = IR I (i.e., the same current flows through each element). Phasors, cont. R ε ω Problem : Given Vdrive = m sin( t), C L find VR, VL, VC, IR, IL, IC ε ∼ V = IX 3. The capacitor voltage VC always lags L L IC draw VC 90˚ further clockwise. VR = I R The length of the VC phasor is IC XC = I /ωωωC 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! Phasors, cont. R ε ω Problem : Given Vdrive = m sin( t), C L find VR, VL, VC, IR, IL, IC ε ∼ V • The phasors for VR, VL, and VC are L εm added like vectors to give the drive voltage VR + VL + VC = εm : VR VC •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).

V ε L εm m VC VR VR VR V C εm VC (a)(b) (c) • The phasor diagram for the driven series RLC circuit always has the voltage across the capacitor lagging the current by 90 °. The vector sum of the VC and VR phasors must equal the generator emf phasor εm. Clicker problem For this circuit which of the following ~ is true? 2B (a)The drive voltage is in phase with the current. (b)The drive voltage lags the current. (c)The drive voltage leads the current. First, remember that the current phasor I is always in the same orientation as the resistor voltage phasor VR (since the current and voltage VR , I are always in phase). From the diagram, we see φφφ that the drive phasor εm is lagging (clockwise) I. Just as V lags I by 90 °, in an AC driven RC ε C m circuit, the drive voltage will also lag I by some angle less than 90°. The precise phase lag φ depends on the values of R, C and ωωω.
