  2. EXAM 03: 6PM THU 02 APR 2009 The exam will cover: Ch.28 (second half) through Ch.32.1-3 (displacement current, and Maxwell's equations). The exam will be based on: HW08 – HW11 Final Day to Drop Course: FRI 27 MAR

  3. What are we going to learn?A road map • Electric charge Electric force on other electric charges Electric field, and electric potential • Moving electric charges : current • Electronic circuit components: batteries, resistors, capacitors • Electric currentsMagnetic field  Magnetic force on moving charges • Time-varying magnetic field  Electric Field • More circuit components: inductors. • Electromagneticwaveslight waves • Geometrical Optics (light rays). • Physical optics (light waves)

  4. Oscillators in Physics Oscillators are very useful in practical applications, for instance, to keep time, or to focus energy in a system. All oscillators can store energy in more than one way and exchange it back and forth between the different storage possibilities. For instance, in pendulums (and swings) one exchanges energy between kinetic and potential form. We have studied that inductors and capacitors are devices that can storeelectromagnetic energy. In the inductor it is stored in a B field, in the capacitor in an E field.

  5. PHYS2101: A Mechanical Oscillator Newton’s law F=ma!

  6. Capacitor discharges completely, yet current keeps going. Energy is all in the inductor. The magnetic field on the coil starts to collapse, which will start to recharge the capacitor. Finally, we reach the same state we started with (with opposite polarity) and the cycle restarts. PHYS2101 An Electromagnetic LC Oscillator Capacitor initially charged. Initially, current is zero, energy is all stored in the capacitor. A current gets going, energy gets split between the capacitor and the inductor.

  7. Electric Oscillators: the Math Energy Cons. Or loop rule! Both give Diffy-Q: Solution to Diffy-Q: LC Frequency In Radians/Sec

  8. Electric Oscillators: the Math Voltage as Function of Time Energy as Function of Time

  9. Analogy Between Electrical And Mechanical Oscillations Charqe q -> Position x Current i=q’ -> Velocity v=x’ D-Current i’=q’’-> Acceleration a=v’=x’’

  10. LC Circuit: Conservation of Energy The energy is constant and equal to what we started with.

  11. Example 1 : Tuning a Radio Receiver FM radio stations: frequency is in MHz. The inductor and capacitor in my car radio are usually set at L = 1 mH & C = 3.18 pF. Which is my favorite FM station? (a) KLSU 91.1 (b) WRKF 89.3 (c) Eagle 98.1 WDGL

  12. Example2 • In an LC circuit, L = 40 mH; C = 4F • At t = 0, the current is a maximum; • When will the capacitor be fully charged for the first time? • w= 2500 rad/s • T = period of one complete cycle • T =2p/w= 2.5 ms • Capacitor will be charged after T=1/4 cycle i.e at • t = T/4 = 0.6 ms

  13. E=10 V 1 mH 1 mF a b Example 3 • In the circuit shown, the switch is in position “a” for a long time. It is then thrown to position “b.” • Calculate the amplitude q0 of the resulting oscillating current. • Switch in position “a”: q=CV = (1mF)(10 V) = 10mC • Switch in position “b”: maximum charge on C = q0 = 10mC • So, amplitude of oscillating current = 0.316 A

  14. Example 4 In an LC circuit, the maximum current is 1.0 A. If L = 1mH, C = 10 mF what is the maximum charge q0 on the capacitor during a cycle of oscillation? Maximum current is i0=wq0  Maximum charge: q0=i0/w Angular frequency w=1/LC=(1mH 10 mF)–1/2 = (10-8)–1/2 = 104 rad/s Maximum charge is q0=i0/w = 1A/104 rad/s = 10–4 C
