First, let us obtain the circuit that corresponds to the no-load mode. Let us remove from the circuit the branch with the sought current and replace it with two output terminals. Between the output terminals, let us denote the no-load voltage

that is directed in the same direction as the sought cur-

15. THE SINUSOIDAL ELECTRIC CIRCUITS
The sinusoidal current is the current that varies in the time according to the harmonic law (Fig. 15.1):

The maximum value of the harmonic function of the current is called the amplitude of the current and denoted as
as T) is the time during which the harmonic function makes the single oscil-

dimensionality is Hertz, or

The frequency multiplied by the constant 2 is called the angular fre-
quency (its dimensionality is radian per second, or

T
In the expression (15.1), the argument of the harmonic function (i.e. the sum
) is called the phase and the term Ψ is called the initial phase.
t
Thus, any harmonic function is determined by three quantities: the am­plitude, the angular frequency and the initial phase.
The value of the harmonic function (15.1) at any arbitrary point of time is called the instantaneous value.
The low-frequency sinusoidal currents and electromotive forces are ob­tained using the synchronous generators. The high-frequency sinusoidal cur­rents and electromotive forces are obtained using the electron-tube genera­tors or the semiconductor oscillators.
The energy characteristics of the alternating current are not determined by its instantaneous value. Therefore, integral characteristics (the average
73
value of the alternating current and the root-mean-square value of the alter-

nating current) are used to estimating the alternating current.
The average value of the harmonic function is its average value during half the period. Thus, the average value of the sinusoidal current is

The root-mean-square value is the extremely important characteristic of the sinusoidal current, since it is the root-mean-square value that determines the correspondence between the sinusoidal current and the direct current.
74
That is why the root-mean-square values of the electromotive force, the cur-
p
rent and the voltage are denoted by the same symbols that are used for the electromotive force, the current and the voltage in the direct current circuits (by the capital letters without the subscripts). Instantaneous values of elec­tromotive force, current and voltage are denoted by the lowercase letters.
Let us compare the thermal action of the sinusoidal current with the thermal action of the direct current, which flows during the same time in the same resistor
R.
The quantity of heat that the resistor dissipates during the period of the sinusoidal current is

If we compare the expres­sion (15.8) with the expression (15.9), we conclude that the root-mean­square value of the sinusoidal current is equal to such direct current, which dissipates the same quantity of heat during the period of sinusoidal current.
When the sinusoidal current flows in the branches of the electrical cir­cuit, these branches consume the power of the sources. The instantaneous power is the product of the instantaneous value of the branch voltage by the instantaneous value of the branch current:

Let us consider the relationships between currents and voltages in the simplest electric circuits. The elements of the real existing sinusoidal cir­cuits are the resistors, the inductance coils, and the capacitors. The resistors dissipate the energy of the sources in the form of heat. The reactive ele­ments (the inductance coils and the capacitors) at one moment accumulate the energy and at another moment return it back to the circuit.
75
As we found out above, the resistor can be characterized by the depend-
p
ence of the voltage across the resistor on the current that flows in the resis­tor (this dependence is called the volt-ampere characteristic), or can also be characterized by the resistance. The resistance of the resistor is constant in the linear sinusoidal circuits:
where
u is the instantaneous value of the voltage across the resistor; and i is

(15.11)
the instantaneous value of the current that flows in it.
Let there is the known current in the branch:

At any arbitrary point of time, according to Ohm’s law, the voltage across the resistor is equal to the product of the current and the resistance. If the circuit is linear, the voltage across the resistor can be determined by multiplying the expression (15.11) and the expression (15.12):

As we can see from the obtained expression (15.13), the voltage across the resistor and the current in the resistor coincide in the phase.
Let us insert the expression (15.12) and the expression (15.13) into the expression (15.10) in order to find the instantaneous power:

The curves of the current, the voltage and the instantaneous power in the resistor are shown in Fig. 15.2. The instantaneous power is always positive or equal to zero. This means that the resistor only consumes energy, but does not returns it back to the circuit.
The power in the resistor, as a rule, is estimated as the average value of the instantaneous power during the period:

The inductive element (i.e. the inductance coil) allows us to take into account the electromotive force that induced by means of changing the magnetic flux. The inductance coil can be characterized by the dependence of the flux linkage on the current that flows in the coil (this dependence is called the weber-ampere characteristic), or can also be characterized by the inductance (its dimensionality is Henry). The inductance of the coil is con­stant in the linear sinusoidal circuits:

where
L is the inductance of the inductance coil; ψ is the instantaneous val-
ue of the flux linkage of the inductance coil; and

of the current that flows in the inductance coil.
When the magnetic flux in the inductance coil changes, the self­induction electromotive force occurs that opposes this change:

If we analyze the expression (15.19), we conclude that the current curve lags behind the curve of the voltage across the inductance coil by
the angle that is equal to
. Thus, the inductance coil is the phase-shifting

element.
The product tance and is denoted as
L, in the expression (15.19), is called the inductive reac-
(it is obvious, from the expression (15.19), that
the dimensionality of the inductive reactance is Ohm).

The curves of the current, the voltage and the instantaneous power in the inductance coil are shown in Fig. 15.3. The instantaneous power in the in­ductance coil, passing through zero, changes sign with double frequency. This means that, in the first quarter of the period, the inductance coil con­sumes the energy of the source (i.e. accumulates it in the magnetic field), in the second quarter of the period, the inductance coil returns it back to the circuit.
Since all the accumulated energy, somehow or other, is returned back to the source, this energy does not do the work. Therefore, the power of the inductance coil is called reactive (its dimensionality is reactive Volt­Ampere) and the inductance coil is called the reactive element.

The capacitive element (i.e. the capacitor) allows us to take into account the energy accumulation in the electrostatic field. The capacitor can be characterized by the dependence of the electric charge on the voltage across the capacitor (this dependence is called the coulomb-volt characteristic), or can also be characterized by the capacitance (its dimensionality is Farad). The capacitance of the capacitor is constant in the linear sinusoidal circuits:
q
where
C is the capacitance of the capacitor; q is the instantaneous value
Cu
of the electric charge of the capacitor; and
const
(15.21)
u is the instantaneous value of the
voltage across the capacitor.
If the voltage across the capacitor does not change over time, then its charge also does not change over time, and the current does not flow in the capacitor. However, if the voltage across the capacitor changes over time, for example, according to the harmonic law
() sin
ut U t, (15.22)

then the electric charge of the capacitor will also change according to the harmonic law:

Thus, the capacitor will be recharged periodically. The periodic recharge

is equal to

The curves of the current, the voltage and the instantaneous power in the capacitor are shown in Fig. 15.4. In the first quarter of the period, the capacitor consumes the source energy and this energy creates the electric field in it. In the second quarter of the period, the capacitor returns the en­ergy back to the circuit. The power of the capacitor is also reactive (its dimensionality is also reactive Volt-Ampere) and the capacitor is also the reactive element.
