Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering
- The voltage across an inductor plotted as a functionof time is shown in Figure P4.14. If L = 0.75 mH,determine the current through the inductor att = 15 μs.arrow_forwardWe know that the capacitor shown in Figure P4.11 is charged to a voltage of 10 V priorto t=0.a. Find expressions for the voltage across the capacitor vC(t) and the voltage across theresistor vR(t) for all time.b. Find an expression for the power delivered to the resistor.c. Integrate the power from t=0 to t=∞ to find the energy delivered.d. Show that the energy delivered to the resistor is equal to the energy stored in thecapacitor prior to t=0.arrow_forwardSuppose we have a capacitance C discharging through a resistance R. Define and give an expression for the time constant. To attain a long time constant, do we need large or small values for R? For C?arrow_forward
- Determine expressions for and sketch v R ( t ) to scale versus time for the circuit of Figure P4.43. The circuit is operating in steady state with the switch closed prior to t=0. Consider the time interval −1≤t≤5 ms.arrow_forwardCapacitance= 4uF2) Determine the time constant of the circuit for the capacities 3) For the capacity value, calculate the estimated time to come to the final state.4) Plot capacitor current and voltage graphs and show if it works in harmony with the time constant you calculated. NOTE: if you want you can use falstad online circuit simulator.arrow_forwardIn Figure P4.64, let R=500 Ω. Using the inductor current, derive the Characteristic Equation.arrow_forward
- Consider the circuit shown in Figure P4.40. A voltmeter (VM) is connected across the inductance. The switch has been closed for a long time. When the switch is opened, an arc appears across the switch contacts. Explain why. Assuming an ideal switch and inductor, what voltage appears across the inductor when the switch is opened? What could happen to the voltmeter when the switch opens?arrow_forwardWhen we talk about capacitance of capacitor we normally say that capacitance depends on the size, shape, and position of the two capacitors and dielectric constant K. What then did we mean when we say that capacitance is constant in the equation Q = CV?arrow_forwardAt t=0 a charged 10{μF capacitance is connected to a voltmeter, as shown in Figure P4.5. The meter can be modeled as a resistance. At t=0 the meter reads 50 V. At t=30s, the reading is 25 V. Find the resistance of the voltmeter.arrow_forward
- The voltage across and the current through acapacitor are shown in Figure P4.21. Determine thevalue of the capacitance.arrow_forwardThe figure shows a circuit containing an electromotive force, a capacitor with a capacitance of C farads (F), and a resistor with a resistance of R ohms (Ω). The voltage drop across the capacitor is Q/C, where Q is the charge (in coulombs, C), so in this case Kirchhoff’s Law givesarrow_forwardThe initial voltage across the capacitor shown in Figure P4.3 is v C ( 0+ )=−10 V. Find anexpression for the voltage across the capacitor as a function of time. Also, determine the time t0at which the voltage crosses zero.arrow_forward
