Differential Form of Maxwell's Equations01:17

Differential Form of Maxwell's Equations

1.1K
James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) was one of the significant contributors to physics in the nineteenth century. He is probably best known for having combined existing knowledge of the laws of electricity and the laws of magnetism with his insights to form a complete overarching electromagnetic theory, represented by Maxwell's equations. The four basic laws of electricity and magnetism were discovered experimentally through the work of physicists such as Oersted, Coulomb, Gauss, and...

Transmission-Line Differential Equations

889
Transmission lines are essential components of electrical power systems. They are characterized by the distributed nature of resistance (R), inductance (L), and capacitance (C) per unit length. To analyze these lines, differential equations are employed to model the variations in voltage and current along the line.
Line Section Model
A circuit representing a line section of length Δx helps in understanding the transmission line parameters. The voltage V(x) and current i(x) are measured from...

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator

2.0K
An RLC circuit combines a resistor, inductor, and capacitor, connected in a series or parallel combination.
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...

Series RLC Circuit without Source

2.2K
Within the field of electrical circuits, source-free RLC circuits present an intriguing domain. These circuits comprise a series arrangement of a resistor, inductor, and capacitor, operating independently of external energy sources. Their initiation hinges upon utilizing the initial energy stored within the capacitor and inductor to instigate their functionality. Their mathematical equation, a second-order differential equation, sets these circuits apart. This equation captures how the...

A second-order differential equation characterizes a source-free series RLC circuit, marking its distinct mathematical representation. The complete solution of this equation is a blend of two unique solutions, each linked to the circuit's roots expressed in terms of the damping factor and resonant frequency.

Ampere-Maxwell's Law: Problem-Solving01:17

Ampere-Maxwell's Law: Problem-Solving

1.0K
A parallel-plate capacitor with capacitance C, whose plates have area A and separation distance d, is connected to a resistor R and a battery of voltage V. The current starts to flow at t = 0. What is the displacement current between the capacitor plates at time t? From the properties of the capacitor, what is the corresponding real current?
To solve the problem, we can use the equations from the analysis of an RC circuit and Maxwell's version of Ampère's law.
For the first part of the...
