Why does alternating current facilitate the transmission and distribution of electric power? EM induction allows voltage transformation.
28.1. Alternating Current Reminder: All waves can be analyzed in terms of sinusoidal waves (Fourier analysis Chap 14). Sinusoidal wave (Chap 13) : Vp sin Angular frequency : [] = rad/s = / 6 = phase
Example 28.1. Characterizing Household Voltage Standard household wiring supplies 110 V rms at 60 Hz. Express this mathematically, assuming the voltage is rising through 0 at t = 0.

Displacing Functions g g is moved to the right (forward) by to give f. f x x cos Displacement: sin is cos moved forward by /2. Phase: sin lags cos by /2. sin Derivative: moves sinusoidal functions backward by /2. phase is increased by /2. Integral: moves sinusoidal functions forward by /2. phase is decreased by /2.

Equal Currents? • A capacitor is connected across a 60-Hz, 120-V rms power line, • and an rms current of 200 mA flows. • Find the capacitance. • What inductance, connected across the same powerline, • would result in the same current? • (c) How would the phases of the inductor & capacitor currents compare? (a) (b) Capacitor: ICleads V by 90. Inductor: V leads ILby 90. (c) ICleads ILby 180.
Phasor Diagrams Phasor = Arrow (vector) in complex plane. Length = mag. Angle = phase. V leads I by 0. ( same phase ) V leads I by 90. V leads I by 90. ( V lags I by 90 )

Example 28.4. Designing a Loud Speaker System • Current flows to the midrange speaker in a loudspeaker system through a 2.2-mH inductor in series with a capacitor. • What should the capacitance be so that a given voltage produces the greatest current at 1 kHz ? • If the same voltage produces half this current at 618 Hz, • what is the speaker’s resistance ? • If the peak output voltage of the amplifier is 20 V, • what will be the peak capacitor voltage be at 1 kHz ? (a) Greatest I is at resonance:
(b) If the same voltage produces half this current at 618 Hz, what is the speaker’s resistance ? At resonance: • If the peak output voltage of the amplifier is 20 V, • what will be the peak capacitor voltage be at 1 kHz ? Peak voltage is at resonance (1 kHz).
28.5. Power in AC Circuits Capacitor: I leads V by 90 , P = 0 Resistor: I & V in phase , P > 0 I & V out of phase , P Power factor Dissipative power = I2 R large power factor reduces I & hence heat loss.
Conceptual Example 28.1. Managing Power Factor You’re chief engineer of a power company. Should you strive for a high or a low power factor on your lines? Power factor Generator : fixed Vrms . To maintain fixed <P>, Irms cos = const. Smaller power factor higher Irms. higher power loss. Ans.: keep power factor close to 1.
Making the Connection Transmission losses on a well-managed electric grid average about 8% of the total power delivered. How does this figure change if the power factor drops from 1 to 0.71? To deliver the same power Transmission losses: ( doubles to 16% )
