Behaviour of AC with different Components

Behaviour of AC with different components

(1) Pure Resistance

I = e/R

I = e0sint/R                       

I = I0sint                             e = e0sint

Comparing voltage and current equation, we find that there is no phase difference between voltage and current.

The graph depends upon value of R

E and I are Parallel as shown in Phasor diagram

(2) Through Pure INDUCTANCE

e = L (dI/dt)               (applied)

e = -L (dI/dt)               (Back)                    

dI = (e/L ).dt

dI = (e0/L) sin t. dt

Integrating both sides we get

I = (-e0/Lw)cos t                        [ I = max when cost = 1]

I = -I0 cost              I0 = e0/Lw

I = -I0 cos t

I = -I0 cos t

= -I0 sin (π/2 – t)

I = I0 sin (wt – π/2)

Comparing E and I equations, we find that there is a phase difference of (π/2) b/w E and I such that voltage leads the current by (π/2)

As = π/2 as we can also say that V and I are mutually perpendicular.

Inductive Reactance (Xc)

It is the opposition offered by inductance to the flow of AC through it.

 From the equation

I0 = e0/Lw

We find that LW has dimensions of resistance it in known as Inductive reactance.

XL = Lw                      unit ohm

XL = 2πf.L

If f = 0         XL = 0

The inductance offers no opposition for steady DC. It offers greater opposition for  AC with high frequency

Physically the value dt changes quickly

e = -L(dI/dt)

so e is large

(C) through Pure CAPACTANCE

e = q/c

q = ec

q = e0 sin t C                     

q = e0C sin t

dq/dt = e0Cw cos t

I = e0 Cw cos t

As max value of cos t = 1                      Imax = e0 C

I0 = e0 C

I = I0 cos t

I = I0 cos t

I = I0 sin (t + π/2)

Comparing e and I equation we find φ = π/2 ∴ in case of pure capacities current leads voltage by π/2

Capacitive Reactance (Xc)

I0 = e0C

I0 = e0/(1/C)

Above equation suggest that (1/C) has dimensions of resistance known as capacitive reactance

Xc = 1/C                     unit ohm

Xc = 1/2πfC

If f = 0 then Xc = ∞

Capacitor perfectly blocks steady DC.

With increase in frequency Xc decreases
