Resistor Concept —I

Flow of electric current through a conductor experiences a

certain amount of resistance.
The resistance, expressed in ohms (Ω, named after George ohm), kilo-ohms (kΩ, 1000Ω), or mega-ohms (MΩ, 106Ω) is a measure of how much a resistor resists the flow of electricity.
The magnitude of resistance is dictated by electric properties of the material and material geometry.
This behavior of materials is often used to control/limit electric current flow in circuits.
Henceforth, the conductors that exhibit the property of resisting current flow are called resistors.

Resistor Concept —II

A resistor is a dissipative element. It converts electrical

energy into heat energy. It is analogous to the viscous friction element of mechanical system.
When electrons enter at one end of a resistor, some of the electrons collide with atoms within the resistor. These atoms start vibrating and transfer their energy to neighboring air molecules. In this way, a resistor dissipates electrical energy into heat energy.
Resistors can be thought of as analogous to water carrying pipes. Water is supplied to your home in large pipes, however, the pipes get smaller as the water reaches the final user. The pipe size limits the water flow to what you actually need.
Electricity works in a similar manner, except that wires have so little resistance that they would have to be very very thin to limit the flow of electricity. Such thin wire would be hard to handle and break easily.

Resistor V-I Characteristic

In a typical resistor, a conducting element displays linear

voltage-current relationship. (i.e., current through a resistor is directly proportional to the voltage across it).
I ∝V
Using G as a constant of proportionality, we obtain:
I = GV
Equivalently,
V = RI (or V = IR)
where R = 1/G.
R is termed as the resistance of conductor (ohm, Ω)
G is termed as the conductance of conductor (mho, )

Resistor Applications

Resistors are used for:
Limiting current in electric circuits.
Lowering voltage levels

in electric circuits (using voltage divider).
As current provider.
As a sensor (e.g., photoresistor detects light condition, thermistor detects temperature condition, strain gauge detects load condition, etc.)
In electronic circuits, resistors are used as pull-up and pull-down elements to avoid floating signal levels.

Resistors: Power Rating and Composition

It is very important to be aware

of power rating of resistor used in circuits and to make sure that this limit is not violated. A higher power rating resistor can dissipate more energy that a lower power rating resistor.
Resistors can be made of:
Carbon film (decomposition of carbon film on a ceramic core).
Carbon composition (carbon powder and glue-like binder).
Metal oxide (ceramic core coated with metal oxide).
Precision metal film.
High power wire wound.

Resistor Labels

Wire-wound resistors have a label indicating resistance and power ratings.
A

majority of resistors have color bars to indicate their resistance magnitude.
There are usually 4 to 6 bands of color on a resistor. As shown in the figure below, the right most color bar indicates the resistor reliability, however, some resistor use this bar to indicate the tolerance. The color bar immediately left to the tolerance bar (C), indicates the multipliers (in tens). To the left of the multiplier bar are the digits, starting from the last digit to the first digit.

Variable Resistor Concept

In electrical circuit, a switch is used to turn

the electricity on and off just like a valve is used to turn the water on and off.
There are times when you want some water but don’t need all the water that the pipe can deliver, so you control water flow by adjusting the faucet.
Unfortunately, you can’t adjust the thickness of an already thin wire.
Notice, however, that you can control the water flow by forcing the water through an adjustable length of rocks, as shown to the right.

Variable Resistor Operation

The dial on the variable resistor moves the arm

contact and sets the resistance between the left and center pins. The remaining resistance of the part is between the center and right pins.
For example, when the dial is turned fully to the left, there is minimal resistance between the left and center pins (usually 0Ω) and maximum resistance between the center and right pins. The resistance between the left and right pins will always be the total resistance.

Capacitor Concept

A capacitor is an energy storage element which is analogous

to the spring element of mechanical systems.
It can store electrical pressure (voltage) for periods of time.
-When a capacitor has a difference in voltage (electrical pressure) across its plate, it is said to be charged.
-A capacitor is charged by having a one-way current flow through it for a period of time.
-It can be discharged by letting a current flow in the opposite direction out of the capacitor.
Слайд 37

Capacitor Construction

A capacitor is constructed using a pair of parallel conducting

plates separated by an insulating material (dielectric).
When the two plates of a capacitor are connected to a voltage source as shown, charges are displaced from one side of the capacitor to the other side, thereby establishing an electric field.
The charges continue to be displaced in this manner until the potential difference across the two plates is equal to the potential of voltage source.

Capacitor Water Pipe Analogy —I

In the water pipe analogy, a capacitor

is thought of as a water pipe:
with a rubber diaphragm sealing off each side of the pipe and
a plunger on one end.
When the plunger pushes toward the diaphragm, the water in the pipe forces the diaphragm to stretch until the force of the diaphragm pushing back on the water equals the force on the plunger→pipe is charged!
If the plunger is released, the diaphragm will push the plunger back to its original position →pipe is discharged.
Слайд 39

Capacitor Water Pipe Analogy —II If the rubber diaphragm is made

Capacitor Water Pipe Analogy —II

If the rubber diaphragm is made very

soft, it will stretch out and hold a lot of water but will break easily (large capacitance but low working voltage).
If the rubber diaphragm is made very stiff, it will not stretch far but withstand higher pressure (low capacitance but high working voltage).
By making the pipe larger and keeping the rubber stiff, we can achieve a device that holds a lot of water and withstand high pressure.
So the pipe size is determined from the amount of water to be held and the amount of pressure to be handled.

When no water pressure is applied on the water capacitor, the two chambers contain same amount of water (uncharged)
When pressure is applied on the top chamber, the membrane is pushed down causing the water to be displaced from the bottom chamber (appearance of current flow → displacement current)

Capacitance Formula

For a parallel capacitor:
- ε0 = permittivity of free space
-

A = plate area
- d = separation distance of plate.
Often, we use G = A/d as geometry factor (for other types of capacitors as well).
If a dielectric material with dielectric constant K separates the two plates of the capacitor, then C = Kε0G, where K = dielectric constant. Usually K > 1.

Inductor-Water Analogy —I

Suppose a turbine is hooked up to the flywheel

and water is supplied to the turbine. The flywheel will start to move slowly. Eventually, the flywheel will move at the same rate as the current.
If the current alternates back and forth, the flywheel/turbine will take some time to build up to the initial direction that the water wants to flow.
As the current moves back and forth, the flywheel creates the extra “resistance” to the change in current flow, but eventually the flywheel/turbine will move in the same direction as the current flow.

Inductor-Water Analogy —II

When switch S contacts A, the field generated by

A collapsing field is generated when applied voltage is removed (switch S contacts B), creating a forward induced voltage that attempts to keep current flowing
Based on the value of inductance, as the magnetic field reaches zero steady-state, the forward voltage decays

Mechanical inertia and inductor both resist sudden change in their state
