Introduction to Phasors, Impedance, and AC Circuits

  • In this video I give a brief introduction into the concept of phasors and inductance, and how these concepts are used in place of waveforms.
    Note: At 2:28 I should have said "the more COUNTER-clockwise of the two is the leader".

    Aren't the diagrams the wrong way round for lagging and leading voltage?

    • @crclayton
      @crclayton  6 ปีที่แล้ว +83

      Thanks for bringing that to my attention! The diagrams are the right way, but I did misspeak so that may have been unclear. At 2:28 I should have said "the more COUNTER-clockwise of the two is the leader". I've made a note in the annotations and pinned this comment.

      Right, counterclockwise is positive rotation in trigonometry and most physics, etc. unless specified otherwise.

      Isn’t the waveform wrong though? The one more shifted to the left should be leading.

    It's so strange getting to this point in my engineering education (ENGR 202, nothing crazy yet) where before this point, all we knew was DC and capacitors and inductors were basically just abstract elements that we learned the mathematical properties of. But now in AC you can see what they do to a circuit! so exciting

    Your waveforms (two sine waves) are around the wrong way in your explanation of lagging and leading. The words and phasors are ok. For example at 2:23 when V is at its peak, I is yet to get there, so voltage is leading (by convention time is positive to the right) which is not what you intended. Similarly at 2:38 the waveforms depict lagging voltage.

      It’s helpful to think of passive electrical circuits in the context of the duality of nature.
      I. e. electricity and magnetism.
      The charged capacitor stores energy in the form of an electric field or E field.
      The current conducting inductor stores energy in the form of a magnetic field or B field.
      It’s important to realize their steady state behavior in circuits powered with DC power source as follows.
      Inductor behaves primarily as a short circuit.
      Capacitor behaves primarily as an open circuit.
      It’s when their AC behavior is observed and studied in the time domain that phasers are introduced for analysis purposes.

      I come from a math/physics background and have been diving into electrical engineering for a while. At first I absolutely hated the 'j' notation, but I've grown accustomed to it. Now I actually prefer it because I think more in terms of circuits, AC, and EE. It helps to keep a distinction and I only use 'i' for strictly mathematical things like fourier transforms and such.

  • @trynadyna9662
    @trynadyna9662 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Man, it's a really good video, but even with your correction, I believe you still have the waves plotted backwards at the "leading and lagging" section. If voltage is "Lagging", that means that it hits its peaks and zero points AFTER the current hits its peaks and zero points. So visually the voltage wave should move toward the right of the current in a capacitive circuit. So for a purely capacitive circuit, the voltage waveform would be shifted to the RIGHT because it hits its peak 90 degrees after the current. In a purely inductive circuit the voltage wave would move to the LEFT of the current because voltage should peak first, followed by the current peak 90 degrees later. I urge you to do a couple google image searches to confirm this for yourself. I know it's confusing because you think "oh voltage is lagging, so it goes behind the current", and it's natural if you're reading right-to left that something lagging behind feels like it should go "behind" the other wave. But I'm about 87% sure you have your waves backwards in that section.

      @paulmoat7047 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The impedance of a capacitor is 1/(jwC). 1/j is equal to -j. Thus we can also rewrite it as -j/(wC).
