1 AC Fundamental Simple Loop Generator: Whenever a conductor moves in a magnetic field, an emf is induced in it. Fig.: Simple Loop Generator The amount of EMF induced into a coil cutting the magnetic lines of force is determined by the following three factors.. Speed the speed at which the coil rotates inside the magnetic field.. Strength the strength of the magnetic field. 3. Length the length of the coil or conductor passing through the magnetic field.

2 What is instantaneous value? Fig.: nstantaneous alue The instantaneous values of a sinusoidal waveform is given as the "nstantaneous value = Maximum value x sinθ and this is generalized by the formula. v m Sin Sinusoidal Waveform Construction Coil Angle ( θ ) e = max.sinθ Fig.3: Wave form construction

3 Sinusoidal Quantities (oltage & Current) v oltage or EMF is denoted by v m Sin t O e E m Sin t m p p?t Fig.4 Where m or Em = Maximum alue of oltage or EMF v or e = nstantaneous value of oltage or EMF f Angular frequency f = frequency in Hz Current i m Sin t Note: n AC electrical theory every power source supplies a voltage that is either a sine wave of one particular frequency or can be considered as a sum of sine waves of differing frequencies. The good thing about a sine wave such as (t) = Asin(ωt + δ) is that it can be considered to be directly related to a vector of length A revolving in a circle with angular velocity ω. The phase constant δ is the starting angle at t =. Following animated GF link shows this relation. sine.gif Phase difference, Phasor diagram and Leading & lagging concepts: When two sine waves are produced on the same display, they may have some phase different, one wave is often said to be leading or lagging the other. Consider following two sine waves v=msin(ωt+45) v=msin(ωt+3) 45 3 Phasor Diagram (Clockwise +e angle) Fig.5 3

4 Here v & v are having a phase difference of 5.The blue(v) vector is said to be leading the red(v) vector Or Conversely the red vector is lagging the blue vector. This terminology makes sense in the revolving vector picture as shown in following GF figure. doublesine.gif Displaced waveforms: Fig. 6 Some Terminology Wave form: nstantaneous value: Cycle: Time Period: Frequency: The shape of the curve.

Symbolic or j-notation Method: Consider following voltage and current v m sin t i m sin t Wave form and phasor diagram will be as shown bellow 9

20 Fig. a Therefore either the time waveform of the rotating phasor or the phasor diagram can be used to describe the system. Since both the diagrams, the time diagram and the phasor diagram convey the same information, the phasor diagram being much more simpler, it is used for an explanation in circuit theory analysis. Since electrical data is given in terms of rms value, we draw phasor diagram with phasor values as rms rather than peak value used so far. Above voltage can be represented by = x + jy Cartesian Co-ordinates = θ in polar coordinates. Here x=component of along x-axis y= Component of along y-axis j is an operator which when multiplied to a phasor rotates the phasor 9 anticlockwise and j = or j = Fig. b: Phasor epresentation Hence a voltage or current can be represented by a complex number.
