EEGR2111 L2

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?
