CHAPTER 3: ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC) CIRCUITS PART I 1
INTRODUCTION • This chapter will focus on circuit analysis with varying source voltage or current(sinusoidally). • A sinusoid is a signal that has the form of the sine or cosine function. • A sinusoidal current is usually referred to as alternating current (ac).
2
INTRODUCTION contd.
• AC is an electrical current whose magnitude and direction vary sinusoidally with time. • Such a current reverses at regular time intervals and has alternately positive and negative values.
3
INTRODUCTION contd.
• The circuits analysis is considering the timevarying voltage source or current source. • Circuits driven by sinusoidal current or voltage sources are called ac circuits. • A sinusoid can be express in either sine or cosine form.
4

GENERATING AC VOLTAGE • One way to generate an ac voltage is to rotate a coil of wire at constant angular velocity in a uniform magnetic field. • The magnitude of the resulting voltage is proportional to the rate at which flux lines are cut.

SINUSOIDS • Consider the expression of a sinusoidal voltage
v (t ) Vm sin t where
Vm = the amplitude of the sinusoid
= the angular frequency in radians/s t = the argument of the sinusoid
9
SINUSOIDS contd.
• The sinusoid repeats itself every T seconds, thus T is called the period of the sinusoid or the time taken to complete one cycle. (s) 10
SINUSOIDS contd.
• The number of cycles per second is called frequency, f. (Hz)

SINUSOIDS contd.
• If the waveform does not pass through zero at t=0, it has a phase shift. • For a waveform shifted left,
v (t ) Vm sin t • For waveform shifted right,
v (t ) Vm sin t where

• Consider the following:
v1(t ) Vm sin t
v 2 (t ) Vm sin t
17
SINUSOIDS contd.
• The v2 is occurred first in time. • Thus it can be said that v2 leads v1 by lags v2 by . • If • If
or v1
≠ 0 we can say v and v are out of phase. 1 2
= 0 we can say v1 and v2 are in phase.
• v1 and v2 scan be compared in this manner because they operate at the same frequency (do not need to have the same amplitude).

Example: • For the following sinusoidal voltage, find the value v at t = 0s and t = 0.5s. v = 6 cos (100t + 60˚) Solution: at t = 0s v = 6 cos (0+60˚) = 3V Note: both ωt and
at t = 0.5s v = 6 cos (50 rads +60˚) = 4.26V
must be in same unit before adding them up. 20

Calculate the phase angle between v1 = -10 cos (ωt + 50°) v2 = 12 sin (ωt - 10°) State which sinusoid is leading. Solution: In order to compare v1 and v2, we must express them in the same form (either in cosine or sine function) with positive magnitude. Note: the value of must be between 0° to ±180° v1 = -10 cos (ωt + 50°) = 10 cos (ωt + 50° - 180°) = 10 cos (ωt - 130°) 21
SINUSOIDS contd. and v2 = 12 sin (ωt - 10°) = 12 cos (ωt - 10° - 90°) = 12 sin (ωt - 100°)
the equation v2 can be written in the following form v2 = 12 sin (ωt - 130° + 30°) ‘+30°’ in the above expression means v2 leads v1 by 30°

PHASORS •
Sinusoid can be express in terms of phasors, which are more convenient to work with than sine and cosine functions.
•
A phasors is a complex number that can be represents the amplitude and the phase of a sinusoid.
•
Recall: Complex number can be written in: a) Rectangular form:
z = x + jy
23

PHASORS contd.
• As we know, the sinusoidal voltage can be represented in sine or cosine function. • First, consider the cosine function as in:
v (t ) Vm cos t • This expression is in time domain. • In phasor method, we no longer consider in time domain instead in phasor domain (also known as frequency domain). 29
PHASORS contd.
• The cosine function will be represented in phasor and complex number such as:
v (t ) Vm cos t Vm
Vm cos j Vm sin • For example: Transform the sinusoid: v(t) = 12 cos (377t - 60˚) thus,
V 12 60
or
6 j10.39 30
PHASORS contd.
• The phasor representation carries only the amplitude and phase angle information. • The frequency term is dropped since we know that the frequency of the sinusoidal response is the same as the source. • The cosine expression is also dropped since we know that the response and source are both sinusoidal.

• The phasor can be represented by a phasor diagram as shown below.
• Once a sinusoidal voltage or current is represented in its phasor form, simple arithmetic operation can be done. 33

• After performing the arithmetic operations, the phasor form can then be inverse back to the time domain form.

CIRCUIT ELEMENTS IN PHASOR DOMAIN • Circuit analysis is much simpler if it is done in phasor domain. • In order to perform the phasor domain analysis, we need to transform all circuit elements to its phasor equivalent. • Transform from time domain to frequency domain. • For sinusoidal sources, phasor transform will make the source eligible to enter the phasor domain.
36
CIRCUIT ELEMENTS IN PHASOR DOMAIN contd.
IMPEDANCE • To analyze the circuit in ac domain, first we have to convert all the resistance, inductance and capacitance into impedance, Z or admittance, Y. • Impedance, Z is the ratio of the phasor voltage V to the phasor current, I.

CIRCUIT ELEMENTS IN PHASOR DOMAIN contd.
• Z is a complex number and measured in ohms(Ω). • As a complex quantity, Z can be express in rectangular form, Z = R + jX where R = resistance (real part of Z) X = reactance (imaginary part of Z) • Reactance can be positive or negative. If: – X is positive – the impedance is inductive – X is negative – the impedance is capacitive 38
CIRCUIT ELEMENTS IN PHASOR DOMAIN contd.
• Example: – Impedance Z = R + jX is said to be inductance or lagging since current lags voltage. – Impedance Z = R – jX is said to be capacitive or leading since current leads voltage.

KIRCHHOFF’S LAWS IN THE FREQUENCY DOMAIN • In phasor domain: – Recall: KVL – states that the algebraic sum of phasor voltages around a loop is zero. KCL – states that the algebraic sum of phasor currents at a node is zero.
• This principles used in dc analysis, are also applicable in the phasor domain. • The difference is simply the voltages, currents and resistance/inductance/capacitance are converted to phasor and impedance. 54

Example: Four branches terminate at a common node. The reference direction of each branch current (i1, i2, i3 and i4) is toward the node. If i1= 100 cos(ωt + 25°), i2 = 100 cos(ωt + 145°), i3 = 100 cos(ωt - 95°), i4 = 100 cos (ωt - 95°). Find i4. Solution: By using the phasor concept, I1 = 100 25°, I2 = 100 145°, I3 = 100 -95°. Applying KCL, I1 + I2 + I3 + I4 = 0 100 25° + 100 145° + 100 -95° + I4 = 0
