Kirchhoffs Law
In 1845, a German physicist, Gustav Kirchhoff developed a pair or set of rules or laws which deal with the conservation of current and energy within electrical circuits. These two rules are commonly known as: Kirchhoff's Circuit Laws with one of Kirchhoff's laws dealing with the current flowing around a closed circuit, Kirchhoff's Current Law, (KCL) while the other law deals with the voltage sources present in a closed circuit, Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, (KVL). These laws apply to AC circuits provided that the magnitude and phase are both taken into consideration.
Example Problem 1
A 50 resistor, a 0.100H inductor and a capacitor are connected in series to a 300V at 60Hz source. Find the value of C if the current flowing through the circuit is 2.75A and the voltage across the inductor if the voltage across C is 135V.
Example Problem 2
A series resistor-inductor circuit is connected in parallel with a series resistor-capacitor circuit. It is supplied by a 110<0o V voltage source of 50Hz frequency. Given with L=0.03H, C=30F, the resistor series to the inductor is 50 and the resistor series to the capacitor is 100. Find the currents through the series RC, series RL and the total current supplied by the source to the network.
Example Problem 3
In the figure show below, find the current I and the voltage across (a) and (b).
Millmans Theorem
Millman's theorem (or the parallel generator theorem) is a method to simplify the solution of a circuit. Specifically, Millman's theorem is used to compute the voltage at the ends of a circuit made up of only branches in parallel. This theorem is very convenient for determining the voltage across a set of parallel branches, where there are enough voltage sources present to preclude solution via regular series-parallel reduction method. However, it is limited to in that it can be only applied to circuits which can be re-drawn to this form. It cannot be used to solve an unbalanced bridge circuit.
Millmans Theorem
Millmans Theorem
The equivalent voltage is the ratio of the sum of all short circuit currents to the admittance of each branch. On the other hand, the equivalent impedance is the parallel combination of all the impedances with the sources set to zero.
Example Problem 4
In the circuit shown, determine the rms voltage across L1 and R1 and the rms currents I1, I2 and I3.
Example Problem 5
In the figure shown, a series resistor-inductor circuit is connected in parallel with a series resistor-capacitor circuit. It is supplied by two voltage source both 110V at 60Hz frequency. One of the voltage sources has an internal resistance of 10 while the other one has an internal resistance of 5. Given with L=3mH, C=30F, the resistor series to the inductor is 50 and the resistor series to the capacitor is 100. Solve for the voltage across (a) and (b) and the current through the series RC and RL circuits.
