The impedance of the inductor is j L 4 j ohms, and the impedance of the capacitor is j C 0 .25 j ohms. The objective is to find all the currents in the circuit and the equivalent impedance of the overall circuit, as seen by the voltage source.
Table of Contents It is here discussed how complex numbers may be used to analyze and compute currents and voltages in AC (alternating current) circuits and also how the resistance, the impedance of a capacitor and the impedance of an inductor are represented by complex numbers.
where the complex “resistance” denoted by ~Z Z ~ is called the impedance or the complex impedance of the element. In the following we will work out expressions for complex impedances of resistor, inductor and capacitor. We will find that complex impedance of inductor and capacitor are imaginary with absolute values equal to their reactances.
We now use the above concepts to analyze simple AC circuits using complex numbers. where V0 is a real number equal to the peak voltage and ω = 2πf is also a real number with f the frequency of the voltage source. Let us consider a simple AC circuit with a resistor as shown below. Let v(t) be an AC voltage source given by
If we only have DC sources in the circuit, at steady state capacitors act like open circuit and inductors act like a short circuit. In the following circuit find the energy that is stored in the inductor and capacitor, when the circuit reaches steady state.
2 is just the length of the vector. where the last step makes use of Euler’s formula: e j cos j sin . This essential relation points directly to one reason why complex numbers make circuit analysis easier. Instead of representing a sinusoidal voltage or current as a sine or cosine function, we can represent it as an exponential.
