Current - again
Current - direction
Passive convention: current into positive voltage terminal
Passive convention: POWER ABSORBED by element
Above: if v=1, i=2 then p=2 W absorbed by element
If i=-2 then p=-2 W and power is SUPPLIED by element
In a total circuit absorbed=supplied
Example L2-1:
Let v=2 and i=3
Find the energy absorbed between time 0 and 5 seconds
What are units?
What if i=-4? What if time -5 to -1?
Example L2-2:
A 12 V battery is connected to an element and the current measuerd leaving the + terminal is 1 mA.
What is the power absorbed by the element?
What is the power absorbed by the battery?
Is this possible?
What is the energy delivered to the element in 1 hour?
Example L2-3:
A 1.2 V NiCd battery stores approximately 5000 Joules of energy.
What wattage is a light-bulb that draws 400 mA from the battery?
How long will the battery last?
Example L2-4:
Suppose:
What is the power p(t)?
What is the total energy absorbed for all time?
Linear Elements
Suppose v=f(i) (or i=f(v))
1. Superposition:
if v1 = f(i1) and v2 = f(i2) then
v1 + v2 = f(i1 + i2)
2. Homogeneity:
if v3 = f(i3) then
k v3 = f(i3) for any constant k
Linear: if 1 and 2 above are true.
The function f() is linear (element model)
Alternatively
k1 v1 + k2 v2 = f( k1 i1 + k2 i2)
Example L2-5:
Is v = i R linear?
Example L2-6:
Is v = i R + 2 linear?
Example L2-7:
is i=dv/dt linear?
Example L2-8:
Is the above function (plotted) linear?
Why?
