Phasor Relationships for Circuit

Elements
Phasors allow us to express current-voltage
relationships for inductors and capacitors
much like we express the current-voltage
relationship for a resistor.
A complex exponential is the mathematical
tool needed to obtain this relationship.

Phasor Relationship
Represent v(t) and i(t) as phasors:
V = VM
I = jC V
The derivative in the relationship between
v(t) and i(t) becomes a multiplication by j
in the relationship between V and I.

Impedance
AC steady-state analysis using phasors
allows us to express the relationship
between current and voltage using a
formula that looks likes Ohms law:
V=IZ
Z is called impedance (units of ohms, )

Impedance
Resistor:V = I R
The impedance is ZR = R

The impedance is ZL = jL

Some Thoughts on Impedance

Impedance depends on the frequency, f

Impedance is (often) a complex number.
Impedance is not a phasor (why?).
Impedance allows us to use the same
solution techniques for AC steady state as we
use for DC steady state.

Impedance Example
How do we find VC?
First compute impedances for resistor and
capacitor:
ZR = 20k= 20k 0
ZC = 1/j (3771F) = 2.65k -90

Impedance Example
Now use the voltage divider to find VC:
2.65k - 90

VC 10V 0

2.65k - 90 20k0

VC 1.31V - 82.4
