Inductance as circuit element The electronic component characterized

by the inductance is called inductor (coil).

Inductance L of a particular coil depends on its geometrical dimensions (A – turn area, L – length or l – width of the winding on the support), number of turns N, relative permeability r of the core, working temperature, etc. The theoretical formula for a coil with one turn after another, disposed on one layer, linear shape, is: H/m104 7

Inductive reactance

11/43

AC regime behavior

Inductive reactance (impedance) depends on the frequency.

In AC, the imittances of the circuits with inductances depend on the signal frequency.

In consequence, the circuits with inductances have the signal filtering property.

High frequency shocks

In some circuits, the inductances are used to separate AC high frequency components between two circuits (AC high frequency -> open-circuits), without affecting the DC components (DC -> short-circuits). In these situations, the inductances are called high frequency shocks.

18/43

Transient regime behavior

In this case, the transient regime consists in the modification of a DC circuit state in a new DC state.

During these modifications, the inductance cannot be considered open-circuit or short-circuit.

The transient regime analysis presume determining the way the inductances charge and discharge.

In transient regime, the circuit operations are described by differential equations.

19/43

Determining the current when a constant voltage is applied

Considering the switch K on position 1. The current through the inductance is zero.

At the time t=t0, the switch is moved on position 2.

After enough time, t, the current through inductor will be E/R.

The transient regime is taking place between these two DC states.

Significance of time constant

If the transient process has the same slope like in the origin (initial moment), the final values of voltages and currents will be obtain after a time equal with the circuit time constant.

As can be seen in the previous figures, the charging process continues to infinite.

Practically, the transient regime is considered to be finished after 3 (95% from the final values) or 5 (99% from the final values).

Example (E=1V, R=1K, L=1mH)

25/43

Inductance discharging

At the initial time, consider the switch on position 2. The current through the inductor is E/R.

At a reference time moment t=t0, The switch K is moved on position 1.

After enough time, t, the current becomes zero.

The transient regime is the time between these two DC states.

Observation At the switching between 2 and

1 positions, we can have an open circuit and the current becomes zero instantaneously. That means di/dt. This phenomenon determines an over voltage across the inductance which can be dangerous for other circuits.

The RL circuits behavior when pulses are applied Consider a pulses signal source

applied to a series RL circuit. In analyzing of circuit behavior, we

consider both the voltage across

the inductor, vL(t), and the voltage

across the resistor, vR(t). Applying this signal source, the

phenomenon of charging and discharging described to transient regime is repetitive.

Integrating circuit If the output voltage is the voltage across the resistor, the

effect under the input signal is an attenuation of edges, similarly with the integration mathematical operation.

In this situation,(when vO(t)=vR(t)), the circuit is called

integration circuit. The integration effect is higher in case B , when the time

constant is greater than the pulse duration. The integration function in transient regime corresponds

to low-pass filtering in AC regime.

33/43

Derivative circuit

If the output voltage is the voltage across the inductance, the circuit effect under the input signal is an accentuation of edges, similarly with the derivative mathematical operation.

In this situation,(when vO(t)= vL(t)), the circuit is called

derivative circuit. The derivative effect is higher in case A , when the time

constant is lower than the pulse duration. The derivative function in transient regime corresponds

to high-pass filtering in AC regime.
