Capaciors and inducors We coninue wih our analysis of linear circuis by inroducing wo new passive and linear elemens: he capacior and he inducor. All he mehods developed so far for he analysis of linear resisive circuis are applicable o circuis ha conain capaciors and inducors. Unlike he resisor which dissipaes energy, ideal capaciors and inducors sore energy raher han dissipaing i. Capacior: In boh digial and analog elecronic circuis a capacior is a fundamenal elemen. I enables he filering of signals and i provides a fundamenal memory elemen. The capacior is an elemen ha sores energy in an elecric field. The circui symbol and associaed elecrical variables for he capacior is shown on Figure. i C v Figure. Circui symbol for capacior The capacior may be modeled as wo conducing plaes separaed by a dielecric as shown on Figure 2. When a volage v is applied across he plaes, a charge q accumulaes on one plae and a charge q on he oher. insulaor plae of area A q and hickness s v E d q s Figure 2.

The currenvolage relaionship of a capacior is dv i = C (.5) d The presence of ime in he characerisic equaion of he capacior inroduces new and exciing behavior of he circuis ha conain hem. Noe ha for DC (consan in ime) dv signals ( 0 d = ) he capacior acs as an open circui (i=0). Also noe he capacior does no like volage disconinuiies since ha would require ha he curren goes o infiniy which is no physically possible.

dv id = C d (.6) d v= id C (.7) = id v(0) C 0 The consan of inegraion v(0) represens he volage of he capacior a ime =0. The presence of he consan of inegraion v(0) is he reason for he memory properies of he capacior. Le s now consider he circui shown on Figure 3 where a capacior of capaciance C is conneced o a ime varying volage source v(). i() v() C v Figure 3. Fundamenal capacior circui If he volage v() has he form Then he curren i() becomes v () = Acos( ω) (.8) dv i () = C d = CAωsin( ω) π = CωAcos ω 2 Therefore he curren going hrough a capacior and he volage across he capacior are 90 degrees ou of phase. I is said ha he curren leads he volage by 90 degrees. The general plo of he volage and curren of a capacior is shown on Figure 4. The curren leads he volage by 90 degrees.

Noe ha as he frequency ω 0 he quaniy Xc goes o infiniy which implies ha he capacior resembles an open circui. Capaciors do like o pass curren a low frequencies As he frequency becomes very large ω he quaniy Xc goes o zero which implies ha he capacior resembles a shor circui. Capaciors like o pass curren a high frequencies Capaciors conneced in series and in parallel combine o an equivalen capaciance. Le s firs consider he parallel combinaion of capaciors as shown on Figure 5. Noe ha all capaciors have he same volage, v, across hem. i() i i2 i3 in v() v C C2 C3 Cn Figure 5.

Real Capaciors. If he dielecric maerial beween he plaes of a capacior has a finie resisiviy as compared o infinie resisiviy in he case of an ideal capacior hen here is going o be a small amoun of curren flowing beween he capacior plaes. In addiion here are lead resisance and plae effecs. In general he circui model of a nonideal capacior is shown on Figure 9 i C nonideal = i v C Rs Rp Figure 9. Circui of nonideal capacior The resisance Rp is ypically very large and i represens he resisance of he dielecric maerial. Resisance Rs is ypically small and i corresponds o he lead and plae resisance as well as resisance effecs due o he operaing condiions (for example signal frequency) In pracice we are concerned wih he in series resisance of a capacior called he Equivalen Series Resisance (ESR). ESR is a very imporan capacior characerisic and mus be aken ino consideraion in circui design. Therefore he nonideal capacior model of ineres o us is shown on i R(ESR) C Figure 0. Nonideal capacior wih series resisor. Typical values of ESR are in he mωω range. 6.07/22.07 Spring 2006, Chanioakis and Cory 8
A capacior sores energy in he form of an elecric field dv Currenvolage relaionship i = C, v id d = C In DC he capacior acs as an open circui The capaciance C represens he efficiency of soring charge. The uni of capaciance is he Farad (F). Farad=Coulomb/Vol 3 Typical capacior values are in he mf ( 0 2 F) o pf ( 0 F) The energy sored in a capacior is E = Cv 2 2 Large capaciors should always be sored wih shored leads. Example: A 47µF capacior is conneced o a volage which varies in ime as v ( ) = 20sin(200 π) vols.

Example: Calculae he energy sored in he capacior of he circui o he righ under DC condiions. In order o calculae he energy sored in he capacior we mus deermine he volage across i and hen use Equaion (.22). k Ω 8 V uf 2k Ω We know ha under DC condiions he capacior appears as an open circui (no curren flowing hrough i). Therefore he corresponding circui is k Ω v 2k Ω 8 V And from he volage divider formed by he kω and he 2kΩ resisors he volage v is 2Vols.

The circui symbol and associaed elecrical variables for he inducor is shown on Figure 2 i L v Figure 2. Circui symbol of inducor. di For DC signals ( 0 d = ) he inducor acs as a shor circui (v=0). Also noe he inducor does no like curren disconinuiies since ha would require ha he volage across i goes o infiniy which is no physically possible. (We should keep his in mind when we design inducive devices. The curren hrough he inducor mus no be allowed o change insananeously.) If we inegrae Equaion (.27) over ime we have di vd = L d (.28) d i = vd L (.29) = vd i(0) L 0 The consan i(0) represens he curren hrough he inducor a ime =0.
