AC Source Transformation & Nodal Analysis Notes EE301 – AC Source Transformation and Nodal Analysis Learning Objectives 1. Construct equivalent circuits by converting an AC voltage source and a resistor to an AC current source and a resistor 2. Apply Nodal Analysis to an AC Circuit DC Source transformation Source transformation is the process of replacing a voltage source vs in series with a resistor R by a current source is in parallel with a resistor R, or vice versa. v viRi or s ss sR AC Source transformation A voltage source with impedance Z in series is the same as a current source with an impedance Z in parallel. 1 Example: Convert the voltage source to a current source Solution: 2 Example: Using source transformations, determine the voltage drop VR across the 3 ohm resistor. Solution: 1 EE301 – AC Source Transformation and Nodal Analysis 3 Example: Using source transformations, determine the voltage drop VR across the 10 ohm resistor. Solution: AC Nodal Analysis AC Nodal Analysis is exactly the same procedurally as DC Nodal Analysis. The only difference is that the numbers are now complex. Given a circuit with n nodes: Step 1. Select a reference node. Step 2. Assign voltages Va, Vb, Vc …. to the remaining nodes, identifying any known voltages. Step 3. Assume a direction for the current passing through each resistor adjacent to a node with an unknown voltage and express the branch currents in terms of node voltages. Step 4. Apply KCL to each node. Step 5. Solve the resulting simultaneous equations to obtain the unknown node voltages. So, let’s take it slow by considering the circuit below: 6 Ω 8 Ω 12 Ω 10∡30V 20 Ω 7∡20V 2 EE301 – AC Source Transformation and Nodal Analysis We first select a reference node, and assign labels to the remaining nodes. The circuit above has four nodes. Let’s select the reference node (ground) to be the bottom node (Step 1 complete!), and let’s label the remaining three nodes as a, b, and c, as shown below: a b c 6 Ω 8 Ω 12 Ω 10∡30V 20 Ω 7∡20V Now, each of the labeled nodes, a, b, and c, will have a voltage associated with it: VVVabc, , . Now…we are not quite done with Step 2; we have to identify any know voltages. Look at the figure above: Are any of the quantities VVVabc, , known? VVUNKVabc10 30, , 720 Step 2 complete! Next, for Step 3, we assume a direction for the current passing through each resistor adjacent to a node with an unknown voltage (node b). Stated another way, we are going to write the branch currents. We have chosen to label the currents as iii123,, in the direction shown below. i1 a b i3 c 6 Ω 8 Ω i2 12 Ω 10∡30V 20 Ω 7∡20V But we’re not done with Step 3: we now have to express each of the branch currents in terms of node voltages. This is done using Ohm’s Law, but you have to be careful about the polarities. The way I have labeled the direction of i1 assumes that the voltage drop across the 4 resistor has it’s positive polarity at node b. Stated another way, I am assuming that Vb is greater than Va . So, expressing the currents as iii123,, in terms of the node voltages, we have: VV V10 30 V i ba b 1 68jj 68 V 0 V i b b 2 jj20 20 VV V720 i bc b 3 12 12 3 EE301 – AC Source Transformation and Nodal Analysis Step 3 complete! Next, we apply KCL to node b. KCLb : i123 i i 0 VV10 30 V V7 20 KCL : bb b 0 b 68jj 20 12 Step 4 complete! This is one equation with one unknown. At this point the Nodal Analysis is essentially finished and the algebra begins. You can solve this with some simple algebra. It is left to the student to compute the value of Vb. Now that we know Vb we can determine any other quantity in the circuit (such as the currents iii123,,). That’s it!! That’s all there is conceptually to AC Nodal Analysis!! 4 Example: Use Nodal Analysis to determine the voltage at node b in the circuit below. Solution: b 10 Ω 12 Ω 5∡15V 15 Ω 3∡10A Step 1&2: Select a reference node and assign voltages Va, Vb, Vc to the remaining nodes, identifying any known voltages. i1 i3 a b c 10 Ω i2 12 Ω 5∡15V 15 Ω 3∡10A VVUNKVUNKabc515, , 4 EE301 – AC Source Transformation and Nodal Analysis Note that, strictly speaking we don’t know the voltage at node c however a KCL equation at this node would be trivial and is not necessary. So we only need one KCL equation and node b: KCLb : i123 i i 0 Step 3 is complete. In this case, since i3 is a current source and constant, we can simply use the constant and there is no need to express it in terms of voltage and resistance. Note the polarity of i3 is opposite the red arrow so it is negative. VV V515 V i ba b 1 10 10 V 0 V i b b 2 jj15 15 iA3 310 Now express the KCL equation in terms of voltage and resistance: VV10 30 V KCL: b b 13 10 A 0 b 10j 15 Step 4 is complete and this is the end of the Nodal Analysis. From here on the problem is strictly algebra. 5 Example: In light of the previous example, determine IUNK in the circuit above, assuming IUNK points from node c to node b. Solution: 5 .

Alexander ☞ Learning Objectives 2 Circuit Theory Chapter 04 : Circuit Theorems Your success as an engineer will be directly proportional to your ability to communicate! - Charles K. Alexander 4.1 Introduction A major advantage of analyzing circuits using Kirchhoff’s laws as we did in Chapter 3 is that we can analyze a circuit without tampering with its original configuration. A major disadvantage of this approach is that, for a large, complex circuit, tedious computation is involved. The growth in areas of application of electric circuits has led to an evolution from simple to complex circuits. To handle the complexity, engineers over the years have developed some theorems to simplify circuit analysis. Such theorems include Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems. Since these theorems are applicable to linear circuits, we first discuss the concept of circuit linearity. In addition to circuit theorems, we discuss the concepts of superposition, source transformation, and maximum power transfer in this chapter. The concepts we develop are applied in the last section to source modeling and resistance measurement. 3 Circuit Theory Chapter 04 : Circuit Theorems Your success as an engineer will be directly proportional to your ability to communicate! - Charles K.

Although the property applies to many circuit elements, we shall limit its applicability to resistors in this chapter.

Solution: Practical voltage sources A real or practical source supplies its rated voltage when its terminals are not connected to a load (open- circuited) but its voltage drops off as the current it supplies increases. We can model a practical voltage source using an ideal source Vs in series with an internal resistance Rs. Practical current source A practical current source supplies its rated current when its terminals are short-circuited but its current drops off as the load resistance increases.

  • Laboratory Experiment 6 Pre-Reading Circuit Theorems ©2008 by Professor Mohamad H
    ECE 3300 Electrical Circuits: Laboratory Experiment 6 Pre-Reading Circuit Theorems ©2008 by Professor Mohamad H. Hassoun In this experiment, the student will verify two important circuit theorems: Thevenin’s Theorem and the Maximum Power Transfer Theorem. Learning Objectives By the end of this unit, the student should be able to build simple resistive circuits, powered by independent sources, and employ laboratory measurements to: Experimentally obtain the Thevenin equivalent circuit. Employ source transformation to the Thevenin circuit to obtain the Norton equivalent circuit. Experimentally verify the Maximum Power Transfer Theorem. Thevenin’s Theorem Back in 1883, a French engineer by the name M. L. Thevenin had developed a theorem that allows a portion of a complex resistive circuit to be reduced to a simple circuit consisting of a voltage source in series with a resistor. This simple circuit is called the Thevenin equivalent circuit. The following is a formal statement of Thevenin’s Theorem: For any circuit of resistive elements and power sources (current and/or voltage) with an identified terminal pair a-b, the circuit can be replaced by a series combination of an ideal voltage source vt and a resistor Rt. Here, the Thevenin voltage vt is the voltage across a-b (or the open-circuit voltage, voc) and Rt (the Thevenin resistance) is the ratio of the open-circuit voltage to the short-circuit current (isc) at the terminal pair a-b. Once the terminal pair a-b has been identified, the Thevenin equivalent circuit can be easily obtained, experimentally, by making one voltage measurement and one current measurement.

  • Response of First Order RL and RC Circuits
    Response of First Order RL and RC Circuits First Order Circuits: Overview In this chapter we will study circuits that have dc sources, resistors, and either inductors or capacitors (but not both). Such circuits are described by first order differential equations. They will include one or more switches that open or close at a specific point in time, causing the inductor or capacitor to see a new circuit configuration. This in turn will cause a time-dependent change in voltages and currents. We will find that the equations describing the voltages and currents in these circuits (i.e., the circuit responses) are exponential in time, and characterized by a single time constant. In other words, we will have responses of the form / ( ) ( ) − For the natural response, and ∝ / ( ) ( ) (1 ) − for the step response, where τ is the time constant ∝. These− are single time constant circuits. Natural response occurs when a capacitor or an inductor is connected, via a switching event, to a circuit that contains only an equivalent resistance (i.e., no independent sources). In that case, if the capacitor is initially charged with a voltage, or the inductor is initially carrying a current, the capacitor or inductor will release its energy to the resistance. The circuit below shows an inductor that was initially connected to a current source, which establishes a current in the inductor. The switching event at t = t0 results in the inductor being connected to only a resistance. In this case, the inductor current iL(t) will decrease exponentially in time. t = t0 R i (t) S L L R iS We next consider a capacitor initially connected to a voltage source, which establishes a voltage across the capacitor.
