Chapter 1 Instructor Notes
Chapter 1 is introductory in nature, establishing some rationale for studying electrical engineering
methods, even though the students' primary interest may lie in other areas. The material in this chapter
should be included in every syllabus, and can typically be thoroughly covered in a single-day introductory
lecture. Oftentimes, reading of this material is left up to the discretion of the student.

Chapter 2 Instructor Notes
Chapter 2 develops the foundations for the first part of the book. Coverage of the entire Chapter would be
typical in an introductory course. The first four sections provide the basic definitions and cover Kirchoff’s
Laws and the passive sign convention; the box Focus on Methodology: The Passive Sign Convention (p.
35) and two examples illustrate the latter topic. The sidebars Make The Connection: Mechanical Analog of
Voltage Sources (p. 20) and Make The Connection: Hydraulic Analog of Current Sources (p. 22) present
the concept of analogies between electrical and other physical domains; these analogies will continue
through the first six chapters.
Sections 2.5and 2.6 introduce the i-v characteristic and the resistance element. Tables 2.1 and 2.2 on p. 41
summarize the resistivity of common materials and standard resistor values; Table 2.3 on p. 44 provides the
resistance of copper wire for various gauges. The sidebar Make The Connection: Electric Circuit Analog of
Hydraulic Systems – Fluid Resistance (p. 40) continues the electric-hydraulic system analogy.
Finally, Sections 2.7 and 2.8 introduce some basic but important concepts related to ideal and nonideal current sources, and measuring instruments.
The Instructor will find that although the material in Chapter 2 is quite basic, it is possible to give
an applied flavor to the subject matter by emphasizing a few selected topics in the examples presented in
class. In particular, a lecture could be devoted to resistance devices, including the resistive displacement
transducer of Focus on Measurements: Resistive throttle position sensor (pp. 52-54), the resistance strain
gauges of Focus on Measurements: Resistance strain gauges (pp. 54-55), and Focus on Measurements:
The Wheatstone bridge and force measurements (pp. 55-56). The instructor wishing to gain a more in-depth
understanding of resistance strain gauges will find a detailed analysis in1.
Early motivation for the application of circuit analysis to problems of practical interest to the nonelectrical engineer can be found in the Focus on Measurements: The Wheatstone bridge and force
measurements. The Wheatstone bridge material can also serve as an introduction to a laboratory
experiment on strain gauges and the measurement of force (see, for example2). Finally, the material on
practical measuring instruments in Section2.8b can also motivate a number of useful examples.
The homework problems include a variety of practical examples, with emphasis on
instrumentation. Problem 2.36 illustrates analysis related to fuses; problems 2.44-47 are related to wire
gauges; problem 2.52 discusses the thermistor; problems 2.54 and 2.55 discuss moving coil meters;
problems 2.52 and 2.53 illustrate calculations related to temperature sensors; an problems 2.56-66 present a
variety of problems related to practical measuring devices.
It has been the author's experience that providing the students with an early introduction to
practical applications of electrical engineering to their own disciplines can increase the interest level in the
course significantly.

b) An ideal current source produces a constant current at or below its rated voltage. Voltage is determined

Choose an arbitrary direction of current flow.
Label polarities of all active elements (current and voltage sources).
Assign polarities to all passive elements (resistors and other loads); for passive elements,
current always flows into the positive terminal.
Compute the power dissipated by each element according to the following rule: If positive
current flows into the positive terminal of an element, then the power dissipated is
positive (i.e., the element absorbs power); if the current leaves the positive terminal of an
element, then the power dissipated is negative (i.e., the element delivers power).
Problem 2.8
Solution:
Known quantities:
Direction and magnitude of the current through the elements in Figure P2.8; voltage at the terminals.
Find:
Class of the components A and B.
Analysis:
The current enters the negative terminal of element B and leaves the positive terminal: its coulombic
potential energy increases.
Element B is a power source. It must be either a voltage source or a current source.
The reverse is true for element A. The current loses energy as it flows through element A.
Element A could be 1. a resistor or 2. a power source through which current is being forced to flows
‘backwards’.

Analysis:
A absorbs
(35 V )(15 A) = 525 W
B absorbs
(15 V )(15 A) = 225 W
C supplies
(50 V )(15 A) = 750 W

Solution:
Known quantities:
Circuit shown in Figure P2.12; Current through elements D and E; voltage across elements B, C and E.
Find:
a) Which components are absorbing power and which are supplying power
b) Verify the conservation of power.
Analysis:
a)

B supplies
(5 V )(5 A) = 25 W

Solution:
Known quantities:
Circuit shown in Figure P2.17 if the power delivered by the source is 40 mW; the voltage v =
v1 /4; and
R1 = 8kΩ, R2 = 10kΩ, R3 = 12kΩ

From eq.1 and eq.2, we obtain:

Applying KVL for the loop:
− v + 8000i + 10000i + Ri + 12000i = 0 or, 0.001R = 10
Therefore,
R = 10kΩ and v1 = 10V .

Solution:
Known quantities:
Rated power; rated voltage of a light bulb.
Find:
The power dissipated by a series of three light bulbs connected to the nominal voltage.
Assumptions:
The resistance of each bulb doesn’t vary when connected in series.
Analysis:
When connected in series, the voltage of the source will divide equally across the three bulbs. The across
each bulb will be 1/3 what it was when the bulbs were connected individually across the source. Power
dissipated in a resistance is a function of the voltage squared, so the power dissipated in each bulb when
connected in series will be 1/9 what it was when the bulbs were connected individually, or 11.11 W:

Problem 2.20
Solution:
Known quantities:
Rated power and rated voltage of the two light bulbs.
2.15
G. Rizzoni, Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering
Problem solutions, Chapter 2
Find:
The power dissipated by the series of the two light bulbs.
Assumptions:
The resistance of each bulb doesn’t vary when connected in series.
Analysis:
When connected in series, the voltage of the source will divide equally across the three bulbs. The across
each bulb will be 1/3 what it was when the bulbs were connected individually across the source. Power
dissipated in a resistance is a function of the voltage squared, so the power dissipated in each bulb when
connected in series will be 1/9 what it was when the bulbs were connected individually, or 11.11 W:

KVL:
Notes: 1.It’s strange but it’s true that a 60 W bulb connected in series with a 100 W bulb will dissipate
more power than the 100 W bulb. 2. If the power dissipated by the filament in a bulb decreases, the
temperature at which the filament operates and therefore its resistance will decrease. This made the
assumption about the resistance necessary.

Find:
a) The currents i1 and i 2
b) The power delivered by the 3-A current source and the 12-V voltage source

b) The power delivered by the 3-A source is:

Thus, we can compute the voltage across the 3-A source as
v3-A
= 3R1 + v1 = 3 ⋅ 25 + 18 = 93 V
Thus,
P3-A = (93)(3) = 279 W.
Similarly, the power supplied by the 12-V source is:
P12-V = (12)(I12-V)
We have I12-V =
12

P12-V = (12)(I12-V) = 6.17 W

Chapter 3 Instructor Notes
Chapter 3 presents the principal topics in the analysis of resistive (DC) circuits. The presentation
of node voltage and mesh current analysis is supported by several solved examples and drill exercises, with
emphasis placed on developing consistent solution methods, and on reinforcing the use of a systematic
approach. The aim of this style of presentation, which is perhaps more detailed than usual in a textbook
written for a non-majors audience, is to develop good habits early on, with the hope that the orderly
approach presented in Chapter 3 will facilitate the discussion of AC and transient analysis in Chapters 4
and 5. Make The Connection sidebars (pp. 75-77) introduce analogies between electrical and thermal
circuit elements. These analogies are encountered again in Chapter 5. A brief discussion of the principle
of superposition precedes the discussion of Thèvenin and Norton equivalent circuits. Again, the
presentation is rich in examples and drill exercises, because the concept of equivalent circuits will be
heavily exploited in the analysis of AC and transient circuits in later chapters. The Focus on Methodology
boxes (p.76 – Node Analysis; p. 86 – Mesh Analysis; pp. 103, 107, 111 – Equivalent Circuits) provide the
student with a systematic approach to the solution of all basic network analysis problems.
After a brief discussion of maximum power transfer, the chapter closes with a section on nonlinear
circuit elements and load-line analysis. This section can be easily skipped in a survey course, and may be
picked up later, in conjunction with Chapter 9, if the instructor wishes to devote some attention to load-line
analysis of diode circuits. Finally, those instructors who are used to introducing the op-amp as a circuit
element, will find that sections 8.1 and 8.2 can be covered together with Chapter 3, and that a good
complement of homework problems and exercises devoted to the analysis of the op-amp as a circuit
element is provided in Chapter 8.
The homework problems present a graded variety of circuit problems. Since the aim of this
chapter is to teach solution techniques, there are relatively few problems devoted to applications. We
should call the instructor's attention to the following end-of-chapter problems: 3.8 and 3.19 on the
Wheatstone bridge; 3.21, 3.22, 3.23, on three-wire residential distribution service; 3.24, 3.25, 3.26 on AC
three-phase electrical distribution systems; 3.28-3.31 on fuses; 3.62-66 on various nonlinear resistance
devices.
Learning Objectives
1. Compute the solution of circuits containing linear resistors and independent and
dependent sources using node analysis.
2. Compute the solution of circuits containing linear resistors and independent and
dependent sources using mesh analysis.
3. Apply the principle of superposition to linear circuits containing independent sources.
4. Compute Thévenin and Norton equivalent circuits for networks containing linear
resistors and independent and dependent sources.
5. Use equivalent circuits ideas to compute the maximum power transfer between a source
and a load.
6. Use the concept of equivalent circuit to determine voltage, current and power for
nonlinear loads using load-line analysis and analytical methods.

Select a reference node(usually ground). This node usually has most elements tied to it.
All other nodes will be referenced to this node.
Define the remaining n–1 node voltages as the independent or dependent variables.
Each of the m voltage sources in the circuit will be associated with a dependent variable.
If a node is not connected to a voltage source, then its voltage is treated as an
independent variable.
Apply KCL at each node labeled as an independent variable, expressing each current in
terms of the adjacent node voltages.

Define each mesh current consistently. Unknown mesh currents will be always defined
in the clockwise direction; known mesh currents (i.e., when a current source is present)
will always be defined in the direction of the current source.
In a circuit with n meshes and m current sources, n–m independent equations will result.
The unknown mesh currents are the n–m independent variables.
Apply KVL to each mesh containing an unknown mesh current, expressing each voltage
in terms of one or more mesh currents..
Solve the linear system of n–m unknowns.

Find:
The voltage across each of the five resistors.
Analysis:
Assume a polarity for the voltages across R1 and R2 (e.g., from ground to node A, and from node B to
ground). R1 is connected between node A and ground; therefore, the voltage across R1 is equal to this node
voltage. R2 is connected between node B and ground; therefore, the voltage across R2 is equal to the
negative of this voltage.
VR1 = V A = 103 V, VR 2 = −VB = +107 V
The two node voltages are with respect to the ground which is given.
Assume a polarity for the voltage across R3 (e.g., from node B to node A). Then:
KVL:
V A + VR 3 + VB = 0
VR 3 = V A − VB = 210 V
Assume polarities for the voltages across R4 and R5 (e.g., from node A to ground , and from ground to
node B):
KVL:
− VS 1 + V R 4 + V A = 0
V R 4 = VS 1 − V A = 7 V

1. The denominators are the same for both solutions.
2. The main diagonal of a matrix is the one that goes to the right and down.
3. The denominator matrix is the "conductance" matrix and has certain properties:
a) The elements on the main diagonal [ i(row) = j(column) ] include all the conductance
connected to node i = j.

b) The off-diagonal elements are all negative.

Known quantities:
Circuit shown in Figure P3.11
VS1 = VS 2 = 110 V

Find:
a. The most efficient way to solve for the voltage across R3. Prove your case.
b. The voltage across R3.
Analysis:
a) There are 3 meshes and 3 mesh currents requiring the solution of 3 simultaneous equations. Only one of
these mesh currents is required to determine, using Ohm's Law, the voltage across R3.
In the terminal (or node) between the two voltage sources is made the ground (or reference) node, then
three node voltages are known (the ground or reference voltage and the two source voltages). This leaves
only two unknown node voltages (the voltages across R1, VR1, and across R2, VR2). Both these voltages
are required to determine, using KVL, the voltage across R3, VR3.
A difficult choice. Choose node analysis due to the smaller number of unknowns. Specify the nodes.
Choose one node as the ground node. In KCL, assume unknown currents flow out.

Problem 3.13
Solution:
Known quantities:

VS = 5 V
R2 = 1.8 kΩ
AV = 70
R1 = 2.2 kΩ
R3 = 6.8 kΩ
R4 = 220 Ω
Find:
The voltage across R4 using KCL and node voltage analysis.
Analysis:
A node analysis is not a method of choice because the dependent source is [1] a voltage source and [2] a
floating source. Both factors cause difficulties in a node analysis. A ground is specified. There are three
unknown node voltages, one of which is the voltage across R4. The dependent source will introduce two
additional unknowns, the current through the source and the controlling voltage (across R1) that is not a
node voltage. Therefore 5 equations are required:

Solving, we have:
VR 4 = V3 = 5.1 mV
Note:
1. This solution was not difficult in terms of theory, but was terribly long and arithmetically cumbersome.
This was because the wrong method was used. There are only 2 mesh currents in the circuit; the
sources were voltage sources; therefore, a mesh analysis is the method of choice.
2. In general, a node analysis will have fewer unknowns (because one node is the ground or reference
node) and will, in such cases, be preferable.

Find:
The voltage across the 10 Ω resistor in the circuit of

For mesh (b):
− ia (20 ) + ib (20 + 10) − ic (10) + 5 = 0
For mesh (c):

Solving,
ia = 127.5 mA
ib = −67.8 mA

For meshes (b) and (c):
ia (− 1200) + ib (1200 + 330) + ic (440) = 0
For the current source:
ic − ib = 0.2v x = 0.2 (1200 (ia − ib )) = 240 (ia − ib )
Solving,
ia = 136 mA , ib = 137 mA and ic = −106 mA .
Therefore,
i = ic = −106 mA .

common node between the resistances. Assume directions of the branch currents and the associated
polarities of the voltages. After like terms are collected:

Plugging in the given parameters results in the following system of equations:
14.2 I1 − 5.0 I 2 = 200

I 3 = I1 − I 2

Note: Although superposition is necessary to solve some circuits, it is a very inefficient and very
cumbersome way to solve a circuit. This method should, if at all possible, be avoided. It must be used when
the sources in a circuit are AC sources with different frequencies, or where some sources are DC and others
are AC.

can be measured directly by reducing the current supplied by the source to zero, i.e., no-load or open-circuit
conditions. The source resistance cannot be directly measured; however, it can be determined, as was done

Chapter 4 Instructor Notes
The chapter starts by developing the dynamic equations for energy storage elements. The analogy
between electrical and hydraulic circuits (Make The Connection: Fluid (hydraulic) Capacitance, p. 138,
Make The Connection: Fluid (hydraulic)Iinertance, p. 150, Table 4.2) is introduced early to permit a
connection with ideas that may already be familiar to the student from a course in fluid mechanics, such as
mechanical, civil, chemical and aerospace engineers are likely to have already encountered. A Focus on
Measurements boxes: Capacitive displacement transducer and microphones, pp. 147-148, permits
approaching the subject of capacitance in a pragmatic fashion, if so desired. The instructor wishing to gain
a more in-depth understanding of such transducers will find a detailed analysis in1.
Next, signal sources are introduced, with special emphasis on sinusoids. The material in this
section can also accompany a laboratory experiment on signal sources. The emphasis placed on sinusoidal
signals is motivated by the desire to justify the concepts of phasors and impedance, which are introduced
next. The author has found that presenting the impedance concept early on is an efficient way of using the
(invariably too short) semester or quarter. The chapter is designed to permit a straightforward extension of
the resistive circuit analysis concepts developed in Chapter 3 to the case of dynamic circuits excited by
sinusoids. The ideas of nodal and mesh analysis, and of equivalent circuits, can thus be reinforced at this
stage. The treatment of AC circuit analysis methods is reinforced by the usual examples and drill exercises,
designed to avoid unnecessarily complicated circuits. Two Focus on Methodology boxes (pp. 165 and 180)
provide the student with a systematic approach to the solution of basic AC analysis problems using phasor
and impedance concepts.
The capacitive displacement transducer example is picked up again in Focus on Measurements:
Capacitive displacement transducer (pp.175-177) to illustrate the use of impedances in a bridge circuit.
This type of circuit is very common in mechanical measurements, and is likely to be encountered at some
later time by some of the students.
The homework problems in this chapter are mostly exercises aimed at mastery of the techniques.
Learning Objectives
1. Compute currents, voltages and energy stored in capacitors and inductors.
2. Calculate the average and root-mean-square value of an arbitrary (periodic) signal.
3. Write the differential equation(s) for circuits containing inductors and capacitors.
4. Convert time-domain sinusoidal voltages and currents to phasor notation, and vice-versa, and
represent circuits using impedances.
5. Apply the circuit analysis methods of Chapter 3 to AC circuits in phasor form.

Solution:

Find:
The energy stored in each capacitor and inductor.
Analysis:
Under steady-state conditions, all the currents are constant, no current can flow across the capacitors, and
the voltage across any inductor is equal to zero.
The voltage for the 1-F capacitor is equal to the
12-Volt input.
Since the voltage is the same on either end of the
3-Ω resistor in parallel with the 2-F capacitor,
there is no voltage drop through either
component.
Finally, since there is no voltage drop through the 3-Ω resistor in parallel with the 2-F capacitor, there is no
current flow through the resistor, and the current through the 1-H inductor is equal to the current through
the 2-H inductor.
Therefore,

A capacitor is fabricated from two conducting plates
separated by a dielectric constant. Dielectrics are also
isolators; therefore, current cannot really flow through
a capacitor. Positive charge, however, entering one
plate exerts a repulsive force on and forces positive
carriers to exit the other plate. Current then appears to

Solution:
Known quantities:
Capacitance value C
v Peak

= 20 V , T = 40 µs .
Find:
The waveform and the plot for the current through the capacitor as a function of time.
Analysis:
Since the voltage waveform is not a continuous function of time, differentiation can be performed only over
each continuous segment. In the discontinuity points the derivative of the voltage will assume an infinite
value, the sign depending on the sign of the step. Where not indicated, t is expressed in seconds.
For each period 0 < t < T , T
consider only the first period:
For 0 < t < T
< t < 2T , the behavior of the capacitor will be the same; thus, we

Figure P 4.15 shows the current waveform.
Note: For the voltage across the capacitor to decrease
instantaneously to zero at t = T , 2T , , the charge
on the plates of the capacitor should be instantaneously
discharged. This requires an infinite current which is
not physically possible.
If this were a practical waveform, the slope at
t = T , 2T , , would be finite, not infinite. A large
negative spike of current over a finite period of time
would result instead of the infinite spike over zero
time. These large spike of current (or voltage) degrade
the performance of many circuits.

Note:
1. T = period in units of time and ωt = period in angular units, i.e., 2π radians. Considering ωt as a
single variable is useful when dealing with sinusoids.
2. A sinusoid integrated over one or more whole periods gives 0 which is very useful.

Section 4.4: Phasor Solution of Circuits with Sinusoidal
Excitation
Focus on Methodology: Phasors
1.
Any sinusoidal signal may be mathematically represented in one of two ways: a time
domain form: v(t) A cos( t
) , and a frequency domain form:

3.
Ae j
j t
. Note the jω in the notation V( j ) , indicating the e
dependence of the phasor. In the remainder of this chapter, bold uppercase quantities
indicate phasor voltages and currents.
A phasor is a complex number, expressed in polar form, consisting of a magnitude equal
to the peak amplitude of the sinusoidal signal and a phase angle equalto the phase shift
of the sinusoidal signal referenced to a cosine signal.
when one is using phaso notation, it is important tonote the specific frequency w of the
sinusoidal signal,since this is not explicitly apparent in the phasor expression.

Find:

Analysis:
A solution using trigonometric identities is possible but inefficient, cumbersome, and takes a lot of time.
Phasors are better! Note that one current is described with a sine and the other with a cosine function.
When using phasors, all currents and voltages must be described with either sine functions or cosine
functions. Which does not matter, but it is a good idea to adopt one and use it consistently. Therefore, first
converts to cosines.
KCL:
− i1 (t ) + i2 (t ) + i3 (t ) = 0 Ÿ + i3 (t ) = i1 (t ) − i 2 (t )

If sine functions were used, the result in phasor notation would differ in phase by 90 degrees.

Analysis:
Z s is not a factor in this solution. Only R, L, and C will determine if the voltage across this combination
is in phase with the current through it. If the voltage and current are in phase, then, the equivalent
impedance must have an "imaginary" or reactive part which is zero!

Notes:
1. To separate the equivalent impedance into real (resistive) and "imaginary" (reactive) components, the
denominator had to be "rationalized". This was done by multiplying numerator and denominator by the
complex conjugate of the denominator, and multiplying term by term. Remember that j = −1 , etc.
2. The term with R had a negligible effect on the resonant frequency in this case. If R is sufficiently
large, however, it will significantly affect the answer.

Solution:
Known quantities:

Find:

Problem 4.67
Solution:
Known quantities:
The voltages at the nodes of the circuit shown in Figure P4.67,
Va = 450∠0 o V , Vb = 440∠30 o V ,
Vc = 420∠ − 200 o V , Vbc = 779.5∠5.621o V , Vcd = 153.9∠68.93 o V ,
Vba = 230.6∠107.4 o V , and the voltage sources, v s1 = 450 cos(ωt ) V , v s 2 = 450 cos(ωt ) V .
Find:
The new values of
Vb and Vbc , if the ground is moved from Node e to Node d.
Analysis:
A node voltage is defined as the voltage between a node and the ground node. If the ground node is
changed, then all node voltages in the circuit will change. With the ground at Node d:
Vb = Vbd = Vbe + Ved = Vbe + Vs 2 = 440∠30 o V + 450∠0 o V =
= (381.1 + j 220.0 ) V + (450 + j 0) V = 831.1 + j 220.0 V = 859.6∠14.83o V
The voltages between any two nodes in a circuit do not depend on which is the ground node; therefore, the
voltage between Node b and Node c remains the same when the ground is moved from Node e to Node d:
Vbc = 779.5∠5.621o V

Chapter 5 Instructor Notes
Chapter 5 has been reorganized in response to a number of suggestions forwarded by users of the
third edition of this book. The material is now divided into three background sections (overview of
transient analysis, writing differential equations, and DC steady-state solution) and two major sections: first
and second order transients. A few examples have been added, and all previous examples have been reorganized to follow the methodology outlined in the text.
In the section on first order transients, a Focus on Methodology: First Order Transient Response
(p. 215) clearly outlines the methodology that is followed in the analysis of first order circuits; this
methodology is then motivated and explained, and is applied to eight examples, including four examples
focusing on engineering applications (5.8 - Charging a camera flash; 5.9 and 5.11 dc motor transients; and
5.12, transient response of supercapacitor bank). The analogy between electrical and thermal systems that
was introduced in Chapter 3 is now extended to energy storage elements and transient response (Make The
Connection: Thermal Capacitance, p. 204; Make The Connection: Thermal System Dynamics, p. 205;
Make The Connection: First-Order Thermal System, p. 218-219;); similarly, the analogy between hydraulic
and electrical circuits, begun in Chapter 2 and continued in Chapter 4, is continued here (Make The
Connection: Hydraulic Tank, pp. 214-215). The box Focus on Measurements: Coaxial Cable Pulse
Response (pp. 230-232) illustrates an important transient analysis computation (this problem was suggested
many years ago by a Nuclear Engineering colleague).
The section on second order transients summarizes the analysis of second order circuits in the
boxes Focus on Methodology: Roots of Second-Order System (p. 240) and Focus on Methodology: Second
Order Transient Response (pp. 244-245). These boxes clearly outline the methodology that is followed in
the analysis of second order circuits; the motivation and explanations in this section are accompanied by
five very detailed examples in which the methodology is applied step by step. The last of these examples
takes a look at an automotive ignition circuit (with many thanks to my friend John Auzins, formerly of
Delco Electronics, for suggesting a simple but realistic circuit). The analogy between electrical and
mechanical systems is explored in Make The Connection: Automotive Suspension, pp. 239-240 and pp.
245-246.
The homework problems are divided into four sections, and contain a variety of problems ranging
from very basic to the fairly advanced. The focus is on mastering the solution methods illustrated in the
chapter text and examples.

Solution:

Find:
The initial and final conditions for the circuit of P5.21.
Analysis:
Before opening, the switch has been closed for a long time. Thus we have a steady-state condition, and we
treat the inductor as a short circuit. The voltages across the resistances R1 and R3 is equal to zero, since
they are in parallel to the short circuit, so all the current flow through the resistor
i L ( 0) =

VS
= 2 mA.

After the switch has been opened for a long time, we have again a steady-state condition, and we treat the
inductor as a short circuit. When the switch is open, the voltage source is not connected to the circuit. Thus,
i L (∞ ) = 0 A.

Analysis:
Before closing, the switch has been opened for a long time. Thus we have a steady-state condition, and we

circuit. Thus,
vC (0) = 0 V.

After the switch has been closed for a long time, we have again a steady-state condition, and we treat the

After the switch has changed, the current source and the capacitor will be in series so the current to the
capacitor will be constant at I 0 . Therefore, the rate at which charge accumulates on the capacitor will
also be constant and, consequently, the voltage across the capacitor will rise at a constant rate, without
reaching any equilibrium state.

In a steady-state condition we can treat the capacitor as an open circuit. Before the switch changes,
applying the KVL we have that the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the source voltage VS 1 :
vC (0) = VS 1 = 17 V.
After the switch has changed for a long time, we have again a steady-state condition, and we treat the
capacitor as an open circuit. Since the current flowing through the resistance R2 is equal to zero, the

Solve for the steady-state response of the circuit before the switch changes state (t = 0-),
and after the transient has died out (t → ∞). We shall generally refer to these responses as
x(0-) and x(∞).
Identify the initial condition for the circuit, x(0+), using continuity of capacitor voltages
and inductor currents (vC(0+) = vC(0-), iL(0+) = iL(0-)), as illustrated in Section 5.4.
Write the differential equation of the circuit for t = 0+, that is, immediately after the switch
has changed position. The variable x(t) in the differential equation will be either a
capacitor voltage, vC(t), or an inductor current, iL(t). It is helpful at this time to reduce the
circuit to Thévenin or Norton equivalent form, with the energy storage element (capacitor
or inductor) treated as the load for the Thévenin (Norton) equivalent circuit. Reduce this
equation to standard form (Equation 5.8).

Analysis:
Determine the steady state current through the inductor at t < 0 . If this current is equal to the current
specified, steady-state conditions did exit; otherwise, opening the switch interrupted a transient in progress.
To determine the steady-state current before the switch was opened, replace the inductor with an equivalent
DC short-circuit and compute the steady-state current through the short circuit.
At steady state, the inductor is modeled as a short circuit:

Thus, the short-circuit current through the inductor is simply the current through

At t = 0 , assume steady state conditions exist. If charge is stored on the plates of the capacitor, then
there will be energy stored in the electric field of the capacitor and a voltage across the capacitor. This will
cause a current flow through R2 which will dissipate energy until no energy is stored in the capacitor at
which time the current ceases and the voltage across the capacitor is zero. These are the steady state

At this instant, treat the capacitor as a DC voltage source of strength zero i.e. a short-circuit. Therefore, all

5.16
G. Rizzoni, Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering
Problem solutions, Chapter 5
Analysis:
In steady-state the inductor acts like a short-circuit so it has no voltage across it for t < 0. However, its
current is non-zero and is equal to the current out of the source VS and through RS. At the instant the
switch is changed the current through the inductor is unchanged since the current through an inductor
cannot change instantaneously. Also notice that after the switch is changed the current through R1 is
always equal to the inductor current and the voltage across R1 is always equal to the inductor voltage.
Thus, at t = 0+ the voltage across the inductor must be non-zero. That’s fine since the voltage across an
inductor can change instantaneously (or relatively so.)
Assume a polarity for the voltage across the inductor.

Circuit shown in Figure P5.27,
V1 = 12 V , R1 = 0.68 k Ω, R2 = 2.2 kΩ, R3 = 1.8 kΩ, C = 0.47 µF .
Find:
The current through the capacitor at
t = 0 + , just after the switch is closed.
Assumptions:
The circuit is in steady-state conditions for
t < 0.
Analysis:
For t < 0, the switch is open and no power source is connected to the left half of the circuit. In steady state,
by definition, the voltage across the capacitor and the current out of it must be constant. However, without
a power source to replenish the energy dissipated by the resistors, that constant must be zero. Otherwise,
current would flow out of the capacitor, its voltage would drop as it lost charge, and the energy of that
charge would be dissipated by the resistors. This process would continue until no net charge remained on
the capacitor and its voltage was zero. At steady state, then, the voltage across the capacitor is zero.
At t = 0+, the voltage across the capacitor is still zero since the voltage across a capacitor cannot change
instantaneously. At that instant, the capacitor can be treated as a voltage source of strength zero (i.e. a
short-circuit.) However, the current through the capacitor can change instantaneously (or relatively so)
from 0 to a new value. In this problem it will change as the switch is closed because the voltage source V1
will drive current through R1and the parallel combination of R2 and R3. The current through R2 is the
capacitor current.

Recall that the voltage across the capacitor (Volts = Joules/Coulomb) represents the energy stored in the
electric field between the plates of the capacitor. The electric field is due to the amount of charge stored in
the capacitor and it is not possible to instantaneously remove charge from the capacitor’s plates. Therefore,
the voltage across the capacitor cannot change instantaneously when the circuit is switched.
However, the rate at which charge is removed from the plates of the capacitor (i.e. the capacitor current)
can change instantaneously (or relatively so) when the circuit is switched.
Note also that these conditions hold only at the instant t = 0+. For t > 0+, the capacitor is gaining charge, all
voltages and currents exponentially approach their final or steady state values.

The circuit is in steady-state conditions for t <
inductor) so an assumed solution is of the form
0 . It is a resistive circuit with one storage element (e.g.
i R 3 (t ) = I SS + ( I 0 − I SS )e −t / τ
Analysis:
The approach here is to first find the initial condition at t = 0+ for the inductor and use it to determine the
initial condition on the current through resistor R3. Second, find the final steady-state condition of the
circuit for t > 0. To do so, simply apply DC circuit analysis to solve for the current through resistor R3 i.e.
replace the inductor with a short-circuit. Finally, solve for the time constant of the circuit for t > 0. Each of
these three results is needed to construct the complete transient solution.

The circuit is in steady-state conditions for t < 0 . It is a resistive circuit with one storage element (e.g.
capacitor) so an assumed solution is of the form
VR 3 (t ) = VSS + (V0 − VSS )e −t / τ
Analysis:
In general, the approach in problems such as this one is to first find the initial condition at t = 0+ for the
capacitor and use it to determine the initial condition on the voltage across resistor R3. Second, find the
final steady-state condition of the circuit for t > 0. To do so, simply apply DC circuit analysis to solve for
the voltage across the resistor R3 (i.e. replace the capacitor with an open-circuit and solve.) Finally, solve
for the time constant of the circuit for t > 0 by finding the Thevenin equivalent resistance RTH across the
terminals of the capacitor. Each of these three results is needed to construct the complete transient solution.

5.26
G. Rizzoni, Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering
Problem solutions, Chapter 5
Analysis:
−
At t = 0 , assume steady state conditions exist. If charge is stored on the plates of the capacitor, then
there will be energy stored in the electric field of the capacitor and a voltage across the capacitor. This will
cause a current flow through R2 which will dissipate energy until no energy is stored in the capacitor at
which time the current ceases and the voltage across the capacitor is zero. Thus, in this circuit, and others
like it that contain no connected sources prior to the switch being thrown, the steady state condition is zero
currents and zero voltages.
iC (0 − ) = 0
At
VC (0 − ) = 0
t = 0 + , the switch is closed; the transient starts. Continuity requires:
VC (0+ ) = VC (0 − ) = 0
Since the voltage across the capacitor is zero at this instant, the voltage across the resistor R2 is also zero at
this instant which implies that no current passes through the resistor at t = 0+. Therefore, at t = 0+, the
current out of the source must be the current into the capacitor.

The CURRENT through the capacitor is NOT continuous but changes from 0 to 30 A when the switch is

Problem 5.38
Solution:
Known quantities:
Circuit shown in Figure P5.38,
VS = 12 V , RS = 0.24 Ω, R1 = 33 kΩ, L = 100 mH .
Find:
The voltage across the inductor before and just after the switch is changed.
Assumptions:
The circuit is in steady-state conditions for t < 0 .
Analysis:
The solution to this problem can be visualized by noting that before the switch is thrown the circuit is
presumed to be in a DC steady state. Therefore, before the switch is thrown the inductor may be modeled
as a short circuit such that the voltage across it is zero. Moreover, the current through the inductor before
the switch is thrown is simply VS/RS. Immediately after the switch is thrown the current through the
inductor must be this same value since the current through an inductor cannot change instanteneously.
However, after the switch is thrown this current must also be the current drawn through R1 since that
resistor and the inductor are then in series. Finally, the voltage across the inductor after the switch is
thrown is always equal to the voltage across R1, which is simply the product of iL and R1. Thus, the voltage
across the inductor immediately after the switch is thrown must be iL(t=0+) times R1.

Assumptions:
The circuit is in steady-state conditions for

Analysis:
+
At t = 0 , just after the switch is closed, a transient starts. Since this is a first order circuit (a single
independent capacitance), the transient will be exponential with some time constant. That time constant is
the product of the capacitance of the capacitor and the Thevenin equivalent resistance seen across the
terminals of the capacitor.
To find the Thevenin equivalent resistance, suppress the independent, ideal voltage source which is
equivalent to replacing it with a short circuit. Then with respect to the terminals of the capacitor:
RTH = R2 + ( R1 R3 ) = 80 + (4 6) = 82.4 MΩ
The time constant is simply
τ = RTH C = (82.4 MΩ)(150 µF ) = 12360 sec = 206 minutes = 3.43 hours +
Notice that this value is quite independent of the magnitude of the voltage source.

Solution:
Known quantities:
Circuit shown in Figure P5.41,
VS = 20 V , R1 = 5 Ω, R2 = 4 Ω , R3 = 3 Ω, R4 = 6 Ω, C 1 = 4 F ,C2 = 4 F , I S = 4 A.
Find:
a) The capacitor voltage VC (t ) at
b) The expression for

VC (t ) and sketch the function.
Assumptions:
Switch S 2 is always open; switch
S1 has been closed for a long time, and opens at t = 0 . At
t = t1 = 3τ , switch S1 closes again.
Analysis:
The approach here is to find the transient solution in the interval 0 < t < 3 seconds and use that solution to
determine the initial condition (the capacitor voltage) for the new transient after the switch S1 closes
again.
a)
S1 has been closed for a long time and in DC steady state the capacitors can be replaced with open
circuits. Thus, by voltage division
VC (0 + ) = VC (0 − ) =
7
× 20 = 11.67 V
12
b) As mentioned above, to find the complete transient solution for t > 0 it is necessary to find the
capacitor voltage when switch S1 closes at t = 3 seconds. To do so it is first necessary to find the
complete transient solution for when the switch is open (i.e. as if the switch never closed again.)
The long-term steady state capacitor voltage when the switch is held open is zero. The time constant is
simply RTH CEQ = 56 seconds. Thus, the complete transient solution for the first 3 seconds is
VC (t ) = V (0 + )e − t / 56 = 11.67e − t / 56
, 0≤t ≤3
At t = 3 seconds, the capacitor voltage is
VC (t = 3 − ) = 11.67e −3 / 56 = 11.06
At t=3 seconds the switch S1 closes again. Continuity of voltage across the capacitors still holds so
VC (t = 3 + ) = VC (t = 3 − ) = 11.06

With the switch closed the long-term steady state capacitor voltage is the same as that found in part a.
VC (∞) =
7
× 20 = 11.67 V
12
The new time constant is found after suppressing the independent voltage source (i.e. replacing it with
a short circuit) and finding the new Thevenin equivalent resistance seen by the capacitors.
RTH = (4 + 3) 5 = 2.92 Ω
and
τ = R TH C = (2.92)(4 + 4) = 23.3 seconds
Finally, the transient solution for t > 3 is
VC (t ) = 11.67 + [11.06 − 11.67 ]e − t / 23.3 = 11.67 − 0.61e − (t −3) / 23.3

Notice the use of the shifted time scale (t-3) in the exponent.

At this point only the long-term steady state capacitor voltage is needed to write down the complete
transient solution. In DC steady state the capacitors can be modeled as open circuits. Furthermore,
R3||R4 can be replaced with an equivalent resistance. This resistance is in parallel with the
independent current source and the two can be replaced with a Thevenin source transformation of an
appropriate voltage source in series with the same resistance. Once this replacement is made it is a
simple matter of voltage division to determine the capacitor voltage.

The source transformation results in an 8V voltage source in series with this resistance. Then, by

b) The two capacitors in parallel can be combined into one 8 F equivalent capacitor. The Thevenin
equivalent resistance seen by the 8 F capacitance is found by suppressing the independent sources (i.e.
by replacing the current source with an open circuit) and computing (R2 + R3||R4).
RTH = R2 + (R3 || R4 ) = 4 + (3 || 6) = 4 + 2 = 6Ω
τ = RTH (C1 + C 2 ) = 6 ⋅ 8 = 48 s
c)
As mentioned above, to find the complete transient solution for t > 0 it is necessary to find the
capacitor voltage when switch S2 opens at t = 48 s. To do so it is first necessary to find the complete
transient solution for when only the switch S1 is open (i.e. as if the switch S2 never opens.). The
generalized solution for the transient is
VC (t ) = V (∞) + [V (0 + ) − V (∞)]e − t / τ
The long-term steady state voltage across the capacitors is found by replacing them with DC open
circuits and solving for the voltage across R3. This voltage is found readily by current division. Thus,
VC (∞) =
6Ω
(4 A)(3 Ω) = 8V
3Ω + 6 Ω
Plug in to the generalized solution given above to find

VC (t ) = V (∞) + V (0 + ) − V (∞) e − t / τ = 8 + (14.4 − 8)e − t / 48 = 8 + 6.4e − t / 48
, 0 ≤ t ≤ 48
At t = 48 s, the capacitor voltage is
VC (t = 48− ) = 8 + 6.4e −1 = 10.35V
Continuity of voltage across the capacitors still holds so
VC (48+ ) = VC (48− ) = 10.35V
d) The two capacitors in parallel can be combined into one 8 F equivalent capacitor. When both the
switches are opened, there are no independent sources connected to the circuit. Thus, the Thevenin
equivalent resistance seen by the 8 F capacitance is found by computing (R2 + R3).
RTH = R2 + R3 = 4 + 3 = 7Ω
τ = RTH (C1 + C 2 ) = 7 ⋅ 8 = 56 s
e)
The generalized solution for the transient is
+
VC (t ) = V (∞) + [V (t 0 ) − V (∞)]e − (t −t0 ) / τ
The long-term steady state capacitor voltage after the switch has been opened is zero since no
independent sources are connected and all the initial energy in the circuit is eventually dissipated by
the resistors. Thus,
VC (∞) = 0V
Plug in to the generalized solution given above to find
VC (t ) = V (48+ )e −t / τ = 10.35e − (t −48) / 56

R1 (R2 + R3 ) .
τ = RTH (C1 + C2 ) = 2.92 ⋅ 8 = 23.3 s

As mentioned above, to find the complete transient solution for t > 0 it is necessary to find the

At t = 96 s, the capacitor voltage is

Continuity of voltage across the capacitors still holds so

d) The two capacitors in parallel can be combined into one 8 F equivalent capacitor. When both the

the transient has died out (t → ∞). We shall generally refer to these responses as x(0-) and x(∞).

Identify the initial conditions for the circuit, x (0 ), and x (0 ) using continuity of capacitor
voltages and inductor currents (vC(0+) = vC(0-), iL(0+) = iL(0-)), and circuit analysis. This will be
illustrated by examples.
Write the differential equation of the circuit for t = 0+, that is, immediately after the switch has
changed position. The variable x(t) in the differential equation will be either a capacitor voltage,
vC(t), or an inductor current, iL(t). Reduce this equation to standard form (Equation 5.9, or 5.48).

In the long-term DC steady state the inductor may be modeled as a short circuit and the capacitor as an
open circuit. In this case, the inductor short circuits the R1 branch and the R2 C branch. Thus, the voltage

Theoretically, when the switch is OPENED, the current through the inductor must continue to flow, at least
momentarily. However, the inductor is in series with an OPEN switch through which current CANNOT
flow. What the theory does not predict is that a very large voltage is developed across the gap and this
causes an arc with a current (kind of like a teeny, weeny lightning bolt). The energy stored in the magnetic
field of the inductor is rapidly dissipated in the arc. The same effect will be important later when
discussing transistors as switches.

Find:
The initial voltage across
R2 just after the switch is changed.
Assumptions:
At t < 0 the circuit is at steady state and the voltage across the capacitor is
+ 7V .
Analysis:
It is important to remember that only the values of the capacitor voltage and the inductor current are
guaranteed continuity from immediately before the switch is thrown to immediately afterward. Therefore,
to determine the initial voltage across R2 it is necessary to first determine the initial voltage across the
capacitor and the initial current through the inductor. Assume that before the switch was thrown DC steady
state conditions existed. In DC steady state the inductor may be modeled as a short circuit and the
capacitor as an open circuit. The initial voltage across the capacitor is given as +7V. The initial current
through the inductor is equal to the current through R3, which is given by Ohm’s Law.

Chapter 6 Instructor Notes
Chapter 6 has also seen substantive revisions with respect to the Third Edition. A section on
Fourier analysis has been added (Section 6.2), and the material on Bode plots has been expanded (Section
6.4). The material on Laplace transforms has been moved to the Appendix B. These changes were
prompted by comments and suggestions made by numerous users. Chapter 6 can be covered immediately
following Chapter 4, or after completing Chapter 5. There is no direct dependence of Chapter 6 on Chapter
5.
After the first section briefly introduces the notion of sinusoidal frequency response and motivates
the use of sinusoidal signals, the Fourier Series method of representing signals is described in detail in
Section 6.2. Further, the text and examples also illustrate the effect of a multi-components signal
propagating through a linear system. Four examples accompany this presentation. Instructors who use this
material will find some computing tools available on the website that will assist the students in developing
an intuitive understanding of Fourier series.
Section 6.3 introduces filters, and outlines the basic characteristics of low-, high- and band-pass
filters. The concept of resonance is treated in greater depth than in the previous edition, and a connection is
made with the natural response of second order circuits, which may be useful to those instructors who have
already covered transient response of second-order circuits. Four detailed examples are included in this
section, Further, the boxes Focus on Measurements: Wheatstone bridge filter (pp. 310-303), Focus on
Measurements: AC line interference filter (pp. 303-305), and Focus on Measurements: Seismic
displacement transducer (pp. 305-308) touch on additional application examples. The first and last of these
boxes can be linked to related material in Chapters2, 3, and 4.
The instructor who has already introduced the operational amplifier as a circuit element will find
that section 8.3, on active filters, is an excellent vehicle to reinforce both the op-amp concept and the
frequency response ideas. Another alternative (employed by this author) consists of introducing the opamp at this stage, covering sections 8.1 through 8.3.
Finally, Section 6.4 expands the previous coverage of Bode plots, and illustrates how to create
approximate Bode plots using the straight-line asymptotic approximation. The box Focus on Methodology:
Bode Plots clearly outlines the method, which is further explained in two examples.
The homework problems present several frequency response, Fourier Series, filter and Bode plot
exercises of varying difficulty. The instructor who wishes to use one of the many available software aids
(e.g., MATLAB® or Electronics Workbench® ) to analyze the frequency response of more complex
circuits and to exploit more advanced graphics capabilities, will find that several advanced problems lend
themselves nicely to such usage. More advanced problems could be used as a vehicle to introduce modern
computer aids. The computer aided example solutions found in the Virtual Lab CD-ROM will guide the
student in the solution of these more advanced problems.
Learning Objectives
1. Understand the physical significance of frequency domain analysis, and compute the
frequency response of circuits using AC circuit analysis tools.
2.
Compute the Fourier spectrum of periodic signals using the Fourier series
representation, and use this representation in connection with frequency response ideas
to compute the response of circuits to periodic inputs.
3.
Analyze simple first- and second-order electrical filters, and determine their frequency
response and filtering properties.
4.
Compute the frequency response of a circuit and its graphical representation in the form
of a Bode plot.

6.28
G. Rizzoni, Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering
Problem solutions, Chapter 6
Find:
All Fourier series coefficients.
Analysis:
Using trigonometric identities we can expand the function
x(t ) in the following way:
x(t ) = 10 cos(10t + π / 6) = 10[cos(10t ) cos(π / 6) − sin(10t ) sin(π / 6)] =
= 5 3 cos(10t ) − 5 sin(10t )
Now the function is already in Fourier series form, since it contains only sinusoidal terms! We recognize
the following parameters:
ω 0 = 10
a0 = 0
a1 = 5 3
b1 = 5
and all other coefficients are equal to zero.

Problem 6.50
Solution:
Known quantities:
Figure P6.50.
Find:
What kind of filters are the ones shown in Figure P6.50.
Analysis:
In a), as frequency increases, the impedance of the capacitor decreases and the impedance of the inductor
increases. Both effects cause the magnitude of the output voltage to decrease so this is a 2nd order low pass
filter. Note that L and C are connected neither in series nor parallel and do not form a resonant circuit.
In b), L and C are connected in series and form a series resonant circuit with an impedance which is
minimum at the resonant frequency and larger above and below the resonant frequency. This series
resonant circuit is in series with the output giving, because of voltage division, a maximum output voltage
at the resonant frequency and less at higher and lower frequencies. Therefore, b) is a band-pass filter.
In c), L and C are connected in parallel and form a parallel resonant circuit with an impedance which is
maximum at the resonant frequency and smaller above and below the resonant frequency. This parallel
resonant circuit is in parallel with the output giving, because of voltage division, a maximum output at the
resonant frequency and less at higher and lower frequencies. Therefore, c) is a band-pass filter.

Problem 6.51
Solution:
Known quantities:
Figure P6.51.
Find:
What kind of filters are the ones shown in Figure P6.51.
Analysis:
None of the inductors or capacitors is in series or parallel with any other. Therefore, there are no series or
parallel resonant circuits and none of the circuits shown is band pass or band stop filters.
Circuits a) and d): As frequency approaches infinity, the inductors can be modeled as open circuits and the
capacitors as short circuits. Therefore, the voltage transfer function approaches zero.
As frequency approaches zero, the
inductors can be modeled as short
circuits and the capacitors as open
circuits.
Then:
VD : H v →
RL
Rs + R L
Therefore, circuits a) and d) are low
pass filters.
Circuits b) and c) As frequency approaches infinity, the inductors can be modeled as open circuits and the
capacitors as short circuits. Then,
VD : H v →
RL
Rs + RL
6.64
G. Rizzoni, Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering
Problem solutions, Chapter 6
Therefore:
As frequency approaches
zero, inductors can be
modeled as short circuits
and the capacitors as open
circuits. The voltage transfer
function approaches zero.
Therefore, circuits b) and c)
are high pass filters.
Note: Multiple capacitors and inductors give higher order low and high pass filter. Better performance is
obtained outside the pass band where the response for these circuits decreases by 60 dB/decade. In first
order filters, the response decreases by only 20 dB/decade.

However, it is not a particularly good filter since the voltage gain [or actually insertion loss] is not very
different at the resonant and lower frequencies. This is due to the large inductor losses modeled here as the
equivalent resistance Rc. This causes a low "Q" circuit.

The magnitude of the voltage transfer function is highest at the resonant frequency and decreases at higher
and lower frequencies. Therefore, this is a band-pass filter.
Note: The inductor or coil loss is much smaller [4 Ω] in this circuit, which gives much better band-pass
filter performance or a higher "Q" circuit. The magnitude of the voltage transfer ratio or voltage gain [or
insertion loss] is much higher at resonance than at higher or lower frequencies.

Notes:
1. The absence of coil resistance caused the gain at the resonant frequency to be much higher than at high
and low frequencies.
2. The bandwidth is small compared with the resonant frequency and the "Q" is quite large. These are
dependent on the "loading" or power dissipation of the source and load resistors and the capacitance.
3. A circuit with a high Q is "selective" since it will pass a very narrow band of frequencies. "High" Q
circuits have a Q = 10 or more.

The magnitude of the voltage transfer function is lowest at the resonant frequency and increases at higher
and lower frequencies. Therefore, this is a band stop or "notch" filter.
At its resonant frequency, a parallel resonant circuit has a high equivalent resistance that is resistive.
Connected here in series with the load, this high impedance reduces the magnitude of the voltage transfer
function [or voltage gain or insertion loss] at the resonant frequency.
The loading due to the inductor losses, modeled here as an equivalent "coil" resistance, is fairly small
giving a substantially lower gain at the resonant frequency compared with the gain at higher or lower
frequencies. Therefore this is a high "Q" circuit with good performance and selectivity. The inductor
losses also affect only slightly the resonant frequency.
The cutoff frequencies are difficult [but not impossible] to determine in circuits containing a parallel
resonant circuit which includes inductor losses, so no attempt was made to do so.

Section 6.4: Bode Plots
Focus on Methodology
Bode plots
This box illustrates the Bode plot asymptotic approximation construction procedure. The method
assumes that there are no complex conjugate factors in the response, and that both the numerator
and denominator can be factored into first-order terms with real roots.
1. Express the frequency response function in factored form, resulting in an expression
similar to equation 6.57:

1
H j
j
3.
4.
5.
1
m
1 ...
m 1
2.
j
j

n
Select the appropriate frequency range for the semi-logarithmic plot, extending at least a
decade below the lowest 3-dB frequency and a decade above the highest 3-dB frequency.
Sketch the magnitude and phase response asymptotic approximations for each of the firstorder factors using the techniques illustrated in Figures 6.36 and 6.37.
Add, graphically, the individual terms to obtain a composite response.
If desired, apply the correction factors of Table 6.2.

Chapter 7 Instructor Notes
Chapter 7 surveys all important aspects of electric power. Coverage of Chapter 7 can take place
immediately following Chapter 4, or as part of a later course on energy systems or electric machines. The
material in this chapter will be of particular importance to Aerospace, Civil, Industrial, and Mechanical
engineers, who are concerned with the utilization of electric power.
The chapter permits very flexible coverage, with sections 7.1 and 7.2 describing basic single-phase
AC power ideas. A survey course might only use this introductory material. The next two sections discuss
transformers and three-phase power. Two descriptive sections are also provided to introduce the ideas of
residential wiring, grounding and safety, and the generation and distribution of AC power. These sections
can be covered independent of the transformer and three-phase material.
The section Focus on Measurements: The wattmeter provides a practical look at the measurement
of power. The section Focus on Measurements: How Hall-effect current transducers work may be useful
in the context of a power systems course, while Focus on Measurements: Power factor correction proposes
a more applied look at the problem of improving the power factor of an industrial load.
The homework problems present a few simple applications in addition to the usual exercises
meant to reinforce the understanding of the fundamentals. Problems 7.19, 20, 22-25 present a variety of
power factor correction problems. Two advanced problems (7.35, 7.36) discuss transformer test methods;
these problems may be suitable in a second course in energy systems. Problem 7.48 illustrates the billing
penalties incurred when electric loads have insufficient power factors (this problem is based on actual data
supplied by Detroit Edison).
Those instructors who plan to integrate the three-phase material into a course on power systems
and electric machines, will find that problems 7.47 and 7.49-51 can be assigned in conjunction with the
material covered in Chapter 17, as part of a more in-depth look at three-phase machines.

By using phasor techniques:
I = 5∠0° − 2∠ − 50° = 5 − 1.2856 + j1.5321 = 3.7144 + j1.5321 = 4.0180∠22.41° A
Then, the instantaneous current can be expressed as:
i (t ) = 4.0180 cos(100t + 22.41°) A
Therefore, the average power is:
Pav =
4.0180 2 ⋅ 50
= 403.6 W
2
d) The instantaneous voltage can be expressed as:
v(t ) = Ri (t ) = 250 cos(50t ) − 100 V
Then, the instantaneous power can be written as:
p(t ) = v(t ) ⋅ i (t ) = [250 cos(50t ) − 100]⋅ [5 cos(50t ) − 2]
= 1250 cos 2 (50t ) − 1000 cos(50t ) + 200
= 625 + 625 cos(100t ) − 1000 cos(50t ) + 200 W
Therefore, the average power is:

The real and reactive power used by the refrigerator are:
P3 = 3.5 ⋅120 ⋅ 0.8 = 336 W , Q3 = 3.5 ⋅ 120 ⋅ sin(cos −1 (0.8)) = 252 VAR

Chapter 8 Instructor Notes
Chapter 8 introduces the notion of integrated circuit electronics through the most common building
block of electronic instrumentation, the operational amplifier. This is, in practice, the area of modern
electronics that is most likely to be encountered by a practicing non-electrical engineer. Thus, the aim of
the chapter is to present a fairly complete functional description of the operational amplifier, including a
discussion of the principal limitations of the op-amp and of the effects of these limitations on the
performance of op-amp circuits employed in measuring instruments and in signal conditioning circuits.
The material presented in this chapter lends itself particularly well to a series of laboratory experiments
(see for example1), which can be tied to the lecture material quite readily.
After a brief introduction, in which ideal amplifier characteristics are discussed, open- and closed- loop
models of the op-amp are presented in section 8.2; the use of these models is illustrated by application of
the basic circuit analysis methods of Chapters 2 and 3. Thus, the Instructor who deems it appropriate can
cover the first two sections in conjunction with the circuit analysis material. A brief, intuitive discussion of
feedback is also presented to explain some of the properties of the op-amp in a closed-loop configuration.
The closed-loop models include a fairly detailed introduction to the inverting, non-inverting and differential
amplifier circuits; however, the ultimate aim of this section is to ensure that the student is capable of
recognizing each of these three configurations, so as to be able to quickly determine the closed loop gain of
practical amplifier circuits, summarized in Table 8.1 (p. 402). The section is sprinkled with various
practical examples, introducing practical op-amp circuits that are actually used in practical instruments,
including the summing amplifier (p. 938), the voltage follower (p. 400)), a differential amplifier (Focus on
Measurements: Electrocardiogram (EKG) Amplifier, pp. 402-404), the instrumentation amplifier (pp. 404405), the level shifter (p.406), and a transducer calibration circuit (Focus on Measurements: Sensor
calibration circuit, pp. 407-409). Two features, new in the third edition, will assist the instructor in
introducing practical design considerations: the box Practical Op-Amp Design Considerations (p. 410)
illustrates some standard design procedures, providing an introduction to a later section on op-amp
limitations; the box Focus on Methodology: Using Op-amp Data Sheets (pp. 410-412) illustrates the use of
device data sheets for two common op-amps. The use of Device Data Sheets is introduced in this chapter
for the first time. In a survey course, the first two sections might be sufficient to introduce the device.
Section 8.3 presents the idea of active filters; this material can also be covered quite effectively
together with the frequency response material of Chapter 6 to reinforce these concepts. Section 8.4
discusses integrator and differentiator circuits, and presents a practical application of the op-amp integrator
in the charge amplifier (Focus on Measurements: Charge Amplifiers, pp. 420-421). The latter example is
of particular relevance to the non-electrical engineer, since charge amplifiers are used to amplify the output
of piezo-electric transducers in the measurement of strain, force, torque and pressure (for additional
material on piezo-electric transducers, see, for example2). A brief section (8.5) is also provided on analog
computers, since these devices are still used in control system design and evaluation.
Coverage of sections 8.4 and 8.5 is not required to complete section 8.6.
The last section of the chapter, 8.6, is devoted to a discussion of the principal performance limits of the
operational amplifier. Since the student will not be prepared to fully comprehend the reason for the
saturation, limited bandwidth, limited slew rate, and other shortcomings of practical op-amps, the section
focuses on describing the effects of these limitations, and on identifying the relevant parameters on the data
sheets of typical op-amps. Thus, the student is trained to recognize these limits, and to include them in the
design of practical amplifier circuits. Since some of these limitations are critical even in low frequency
applications, it is easy (and extremely useful) to supplement this material with laboratory exercises. The
box Focus on Methodology: Using Op-amp Data Sheets – Comparison of LM 741 and LMC 6061, pp. 441446) further reinforces the value of data sheets in realizing viable designs.
The homework problems present a variety of interesting problems at varying levels of difficulty; many
of these problems extend the ideas presented in the text, and present practical extensions of the circuits
discussed in the examples. In a one-semester course, Chapter 8 can serve as a very effective capstone to a
first course in circuit analysis and electronics by stimulating curiosity towards integrated circuit electronics,

The signal from the sensor must therefore be amplified. Therefore, a voltage amplifier is connected

Analysis:
The overall loaded voltage gain, using the amplitudes of the sensor voltage and the specified CRT voltage

The loss in gain due to the two voltage divisions or "loading" is characteristic of all practical amplifiers.
Ideally, there is no reduction in gain due to loading. This would require an ideal signal source with a
source resistance equal to zero and a load resistance equal to infinity.

Solution:
Find:
In a differential amplifier, if: Av1 = - 20

There are several ways to do this. Using superposition:

If : v S - D = 0 : vO = vO-C + vO- D = vO-C

Assume that signal source #2 is connected to the non-inverting input of the op-amp. The common-mode
output voltage can be obtained using the gains given above but assuming the signal voltages have only a
common-mode component:

Let : v S - D = 0
vO-C = v S -C Av1 + v S -C Av 2 = v S -C [ Av1 + Av 2 ] = v S -C Av-C
Ÿ Av-C = Av1 + Av 2 = [ - 20 ] + [ + 22 ] = 2
The difference-mode output voltage can be obtained using the gains given but assuming the signal voltage

Let : v S -C = 0

Problem 8.22
Solution:
Known quantities:
A linear potentiometer [variable resistor] Rp is used to sense and give a signal voltage vY proportional to
the current y position of an x-y plotter. A reference signal vR is supplied by the software controlling the
plotter. The difference between these voltages must be amplified and supplied to a motor. The motor turns
and changes the position of the pen and the position of the "pot" until the signal voltage is equal to the
reference voltage [indicating the pen is in the desired position] and the motor voltage = 0. For proper
operation the motor voltage must be 10 times the difference between the signal and reference voltage. For
rotation in the proper direction, the motor voltage must be negative with respect to the signal voltage for the
polarities shown. An additional requirement is that iP = 0 to avoid "loading" the pot and causing an
erroneous signal voltage.
Find:
a) Design an op amp circuit which will achieve the specifications given. Redraw the circuit shown in
Figure P8.22 replacing the box [drawn with dotted lines] with your circuit. Be sure to show how the
signal voltage and output voltage are connected in your circuit.
b) Determine the value of each component in your circuit. The op amp is an MC1741.
8.14
G. Rizzoni, Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering
Problem solutions, Chapter 8
Analysis:
a) The output voltage to the motor must be dependent on the difference between two input voltages. A
difference amp is required. The signal voltage must be connected to the inverting input of the
amplifier. However, the feedback path is also connected to the inverting input and this will caused
loading of the input circuit, ie, cause an input current. This can be corrected by adding an isolation
stage [or voltage follower] between the input circuit and the inverting input of the 2nd stage. The
isolation stage must have a gain = 1 and an input current = 0. The difference amplifier, the second
stage, must give an output voltage:

Problem 8.35
Solution:
Known quantities:
For the circuit shown in Figure P8.35:
C = 1 µF
R = 10 kΩ
RL = 1kΩ .
Find:
a) The gain [in dB] in the pass band.
b) The cutoff frequency.
c) If this is a low or high pass filter.
Analysis:
a) Assume the op-amp is ideal. Determine the transfer function in the form:
1
V o [j ]
= Ho
1 + j f[ ]
V s [j ]
- Vn - Vd = 0
0

j C
H v [j ] =
KVL :
KCL :

0
V o [j ]
= j RC
V s [j ]
This is not in the standard form desired but is the best that can be done. There are no cutoff
frequencies and no clearly defined pass band. The gain [i.e., the magnitude of the transfer function]
and output voltage increases continuously with frequency, at least
until the output voltage tries to exceed the DC supply voltages and
clipping occurs. In a normal high pass filter, the gain will increase
with frequency until the cutoff frequency is reached above which the
gain remains constant.
b) There is no cutoff frequency.
c) This filter is best called a high pass filter; however, since the output
will be clipped and severely distorted above some frequency, it is
not a particularly good high pass filter. It could even be called a
terrible filter with few redeeming graces.

Solution:
Find:
Consider a differential amplifier. We would desire the common-mode output to be less than 1% of the
differential-mode output. Find the minimum dB common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) that fulfills this
requirement if the differential mode gain Adm = 1,000. Let
v1 = sin (2,000πt ) + 0.1sin (120π ) V

Analysis:
We first determine which is the common mode and which is the differential mode signal:
v1 − v2 = 2 sin (2,000πt )
v1 + v2
= 0.1sin (120πt )
2
Therefore, vout = Adm 2 sin (2000πt ) + Acm 2 sin (120πt )
Since we desire the common mode output to be less than 1% of the differential mode output, we require:
Acm (0.1) ≤ 0.01(2) or Acm ≤ 0.2 .

Chapter 9 Instructor Notes
After a brief introduction to semiconductors materials in Section 9.1, Section 9.2 introduces the pn
junction and the semiconductor diode equation and i-v curves. These sections could be bypassed in favor
of a more intuitive presentation, provided in Section 9.3 with an explanation of the basic circuit behavior of
the diode, beginning with large-signal models. This explanation is supplemented by the sidebar Make the
Connection: Hydraulic Check Valves (pp. 466-467), which continues the electric-hydraulic analogy
introduced in earlier chapters, and provides an intuitive explanation of the operation of the semiconductor
diodes1. The box Focus on Methodology: Determining the Conduction State of a Diode (p. 467) helps the
student understand how diode state of conduction can be determined. The large-signal circuit model
material is probably sufficient for the purposes of most introductory courses.
5nstructors who are interested in introducing the subject of small-signal models, in preparation for
a the study of transistor small-signal amplifiers, may find the rest of the section, covering small-signal
diode models (pp. 474-483), of interest. The concept of operating point is introduced, with a review of the
load-line equation and the definition of the quiescent operating point of a device. The box Focus on
Methodology: Determining the Operating Point of a Diode (p. 475) summarizes this material. Section 3.8
can be recalled (or introduced for the first time) at this point. The solution methods used in Examples 9.5,
9.6, 9.7 emphasize the use of simple circuit models for the diode, together with the use of Thèvenin
equivalent circuits; this method is quite general, and will reinforce the importance (and understanding) of
the concept of equivalent circuits in analyzing more advanced circuits.
The use of Device Data Sheets is continued in this chapter with a summary data sheet on a general
purpose diode. The box Focus on Methodology: Using device data sheets (pp. 476-477) is designed to
familiarize the student with the basic contents and function of device data sheets. The instructor may wish
to expand on this introductory presentation by asking students to locate data sheets in the accompanying
CD-ROM or on the web, and to identify specific devices and their parameters for use in homework
problems.
Section 9.4 discusses various diode rectifier circuits; Section 9.5 introduces DC power supplies;
Zener diode circuits and voltage regulation. Section 9.6 analyzes various signal processing circuits, and
introduces two application examples in the boxes Focus on Measurements: Peak Detector Circuit for
Capacitive Displacement Transducer (pp. 499-501), which is tied to two earlier boxeson the capacitive
displacement transducer (pp. 147-148 and pp. 175-177), and Focus on Measurements: Diode Thermometer
(pp. 502-503). The latter example can be tied to a laboratory experiment2. Finally, Section 9.7 introduces
photodiodes and solar cells and includes the box Focus on Measurements: Opto-Isolators (p. 506)
The homework problems present a graded variety of problems, mostly related to the 17 examples
and application examples presented in the text.

Find:
a) If this material is an N or P type extrinsic semiconductor.
b) Which are the majority and which the minority charge carriers.
c) The density of majority and minority carriers.
Analysis:
a) Each acceptor dopant atom introduces an additional positive charge carrier and a negative atomic ion.
The ion is NOT a charge carrier. The density of positive carriers [holes] increases because of the
doping so the material is extrinsic P type Silicon.
b) The majority carriers are the positive carriers or valence band holes; the minority carriers are the
negative carriers or conduction band free electrons.

Note that because of the doping, the hole density is now about 100 times the electron density. The
thermally produced carriers present in the intrinsic Silicon before doping has a small effect on the carrier
densities in the extrinsic Silicon. At higher doping levels, the effect becomes negligible.
As temperature increases, the densities of the thermally produced carriers increase and their effect on the
final carrier densities increase. At very high temperatures [about 175 C for Silicon] the thermally produced
carriers primarily determine the final carrier densities and the doping has a negligible effect [ie, the
semiconductor behaves as an intrinsic material]. This is why semiconductors cannot operate in high
temperature environments.

Problem 9.3
Solution:
Find:
Describe the microscopic structure of semiconductor materials. What are the three most commonly used
semiconductor materials?
Analysis:
Semiconductor materials are crystalline with the atoms arranged in a repeated three dimensional array. The
distance between atoms in the array is the "lattice constant".
Each atom of a semiconductor has four valence electrons. These electrons participate in covalent bonds
with the valance electrons of other atoms.
For certain materials with the properties above, quantum/wave mechanics predicts that the valance
electrons may have a total energy [kinetic plus Coulombic potential energy] within certain "allowed"
bands. The two most important bands are the valence band containing the valence electrons in covalent
bonds and the conduction band containing conduction or free electrons which have obtained enough energy
to escape from its covalent bond.
Separating these two allowed bands is the "energy gap" extending over those energies which the electrons
are "forbidden" to have.
For semiconductor materials, the energy gap is on the order of 1 electron-Volt [eV].
Silicon is the most common semiconductor material and is used in a variety of applications and devices.
Germanium is used in some optical devices and other special purpose devices.
Gallium Arsenide is a compound III-V semiconductor material. One atom has three and the other has five
valence electrons giving an average of four per atom. It is used in microwave, optical, and very high speed
digital devices.

Problem 9.4
Solution:
Find:
Describe the thermal production of charge carriers in a semiconductor and how this process limits the
operation of a semiconductor device.
9.3
G. Rizzoni, Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering
Problem solutions, Chapter 9
Analysis:
At a temperature of absolute zero, ALL valence electrons in a semiconductor are contained in a covalent
bond and there are NO charge carriers.
The internal or thermal energy of a solid material is caused by the vibration of the atoms and electrons
about their equilibrium position. As the temperature of the material increases, its thermal vibrational energy
increases. Some electrons will gain sufficient energy to escape the covalent bond in the valence band, and
"jump" past the energy gap into the conduction band. As a consequence, TWO charge carriers are
generated. The conduction or free electron in the conduction band is a negative charge carrier. The
vacancy in the valence band covalent bond or "hole" is a positive charge carrier.
A conduction band electron may also give up energy and recombine with a valence band hole.
The generation and recombination rates both increase with temperature. At any particular temperature,
they are equal and produce equal equilibrium densities of electrons and holes. The equilibrium carrier
densities increase with temperature. For Silicon at T = 300 K [approximately room temperature]:
nio = pio = 1.51010
carriers
carriers
= 1.51016
3
cm
m3
[A number of carriers is a dimensionless quantity and may be omitted from the units.]
Almost all semiconductors devices are "doped" to achieve DIFFERENT densities of positive and negative
carriers. A "P-type" semiconductor has a higher density of positive carriers and an "N-type"
semiconductor has a higher density of negative carriers. However, at high temperatures the density of
thermally produced carriers becomes very large and significantly reduces or nullifies the effects of the
doping, ie, the positive and negative carrier densities become nearly equal. For this reason, semiconductor
devices cannot be used in high temperature applications. The limit in temperature depends on the
semiconductor material.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Problem 9.5
Solution:
Find:
Describe the properties of donor and acceptor dopant atoms and how they affect the densities of charge
carriers in a semiconductor material.
Analysis:
An "intrinsic" semiconductor material is undoped. When dopant atoms are added the material becomes an
"extrinsic" semiconductor. Doping results in the replacement of an intrinsic atom with a dopant atom. As
few as one out of every million intrinsic atoms may be replaced.
A "donor" dopant atom has 5 valence electrons. Only 4 are required to complete the bonding structure in
the semiconductor material. The 5th electron requires very little energy to escape to the conduction band
and become a negative charge carrier. This leaves behind a donor atom with one missing electron or a
negative atomic ion. The ion is immobile and cannot move through the material; therefore, IT IS NOT A
CHARGE CARRIER.
Each donor contributes an additional negative carrier to the material. The increased density of negative
carriers results in an increased recombination rate which reduces the density of positive carriers. [The
PRODUCT of the two densities remains constant.] Materials doped with donor atoms are N type extrinsic
semiconductors. The majority carriers are conduction band electrons, the minority carriers are valence
band holes.
An "acceptor" dopant atom has 3 valence electrons; however, 4 are required to complete the bonding
structure in the semiconductor material. The "missing" 4th electron causes a vacancy or hole in the
bonding structure. Another valence electron may move to and occupy this hole thus eliminating it and
generating another hole and a negative atomic ion. The ion is immobile and cannot move through the
material; therefore, IT IS NOT A CHARGE CARRIER.
Each acceptor contributes an additional positive carrier to the material. The increased density of positive
carriers results in an increased recombination rate which reduces the density of negative carriers. [The
PRODUCT of the two densities remains constant.] Materials doped with acceptor atoms are P type

extrinsic semiconductors. The majority carriers are valance band holes, the minority carriers are
conduction band electrons.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Problem 9.6
Solution:
Find:
Physically describe the behavior of the charge carriers and ionized dopant atoms in the vicinity of a
semiconductor PN junction that causes the potential [energy] barrier that tends to prevent charge carriers
from crossing the junction.
Analysis:
Semiconductor atoms are not shown in the two figures.
The circles represent ionized dopant atoms and the
uncircled plus and minus signs represent charge carriers.
The dotted line in the first figure represents how far the
depletion/space charge region extends into the P and N
regions.
Near the junction, the negative carriers in the N material
recombine with the positive carriers in the P material.
This forms a small region on either side of the junction
which is depleted of charge carriers; however, the ionized
dopant atoms are immobile and remain. Therefore, in the
N material the region has a net positive charge and in the
P material the region has a net negative charge. This
region is called either a "depletion" region [depleted of
carriers] or a "space charge" region [due to the dopant
ions].
If a conduction band free electron [a majority carrier] in the N material tries to cross into the P material, it
encounters and is repelled by the net negative charge [due to the ionized acceptor atoms] in the depleted
part of the P material.
If a valence band hole [a majority carrier] in the P material tries to
cross into the the N material, it encounters and is repelled by the net
positive charge [due to the ionized donor atoms] in the depleted part
of the N material.
The repulsion of the carriers is characterized as a Coulombic
"potential [energy] barrier". With no voltage applied across the
junction, Ohm's law requires the current to be zero. Actually, very,
very small equal but opposite currents do flow across the junction
but the net curent is zero.
The barrier can be decreased by applying a "forward bias" voltage
across the junction. This allows more carriers to cross the junction
and when this voltage is greater than a certain value [0.7 V for
Silicon] a significant current [milliamps] flows.
The barrier can be increased by applying a "reverse bias" voltage
across the junction. This increases the barrier and fewer majority
carriers have sufficient energy to cross the junction, ie, the current
essentially ceases. However, there is a VERY, VERY small
"reverse saturation current" [in the femtoamps range] due to the minority carriers. Since the minority
carriers are thermally produced, this current is dependent on temperature.

Substitute the ideal diode circuit model into the circuit (short circuit if “on”, open circuit if
“off”).
Solve for diode current and voltage using linear circuit analysis techniques.
If the solution is consistent with the assumption, then the initial assumption was correct; if
not, the diode conduction state is opposite to that initially assumed. For example, if the
diode has been assumed “off”, but the diode voltage computed after replacing the diode
with an open circuit is a forward bias, then it must be true that the actual state of the diode
is “on”.

2. Using this new diode current and the device characteristic, determine a new diode voltage.

Convergence is obtained after only 3 iterations and:

Maximum Zener voltage.
Note that the minimum value of R EXCEEDS the maximum value of R. This means that there is no value
of R for which all the specifications will be met under all conditions. A value of R can be chosen but
conditions may occur where the Zener current exceeds its maximum value or falls below its minimum
value.
This problem can be solved by:
1. Choosing another Zener diode with different minimum and maximum currents.
2. Relaxing the specifications on source voltage and load current.
Note that the relationships between minimum and maximum values ALWAYS STARTS WITH THE
QUESTION OF WHAT WILL CAUSE A MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM ZENER CURRENT !!! If the
Zener current exceeds its maximum rated value, it will burn up; if it falls below its minimum value, the
diode will leave the Zener region and cease to regulate the voltage. These represent WORST CASE
conditions, a procedure frequently used in design.
Note that a Zener diode acts like an electrical "surge tank" for current; however, the analogy is not exact.
A liquid surge tank regulates, ie, maintains constant, pressure and fluid flow rates. It does this by
temporarily storing excess fluid when flow rates increase or supplying extra fluid when flow rates decrease.
The Zener "surge tank" primarily regulates load voltage as the load resistance [and therefore the load
current] or source voltage [and therefore the current supplied by the source] changes. It temporarily "stores"

Chapter 10 Instructor Notes
Chapter 10 introduces bipolar junction transistors. The material on transistors has been
reorganized in this 4th Edition, and is now divided into two independent chapters, one on bipolar devices,
and one on field-effect devices. The two chapters are functionally independent, except for the fact that
Section 10.1, introducing the concept of transistors as amplifiers and switches, can be covered prior to
starting Chapter 11 if the instructor decides to only teach field-effect devices.
Section 10.2 introduces the fundamental ideas behind the operation of bipolar transistors, and
illustrates the calculation of the state and operating point of basic transistor circuits. The discussion of the
properties of the BJT in Section 10.2 is centered around a description of the base and collector
characteristics, and purposely avoids a detailed description of the physics of the device, with the intent of
providing an intuitive understanding of the transistor as an amplifier and electronic switch. Example 10.5
introduces the use of Electronics Workbench (EWB) as a tool for analyzing electronics circuits; the CDROM contains an introduction to the software package and a number of solved problems.
Section 10.3 introduces large-signal models of the BJT, and also includes the box Focus on
Methodology: Using device data sheets (pp. 535-537). Example 10.7 (LED Driver) and the box Focus on
Measurements: Large Signal Amplifier for Diode Thermometer (pp. 539-541) provide two application
examples that include EWB solutions.
Section 8.4 introduces the analysis of BJT switches and presents TTL gates.
The end-of-chapter problems are straightforward applications of the concepts illustrated in the
chapter.
Learning Objectives

3. Understand the large-signal model of the bipolar transistor, and apply it to simple
amplifier circuits. Section 3.
4. Understand the operation of bipolar transistor as a switch and analyze basic analog and
digital gate circuits. Section 4.

Find:
For each transistor shown in Figure P10.1, determine whether the BE and BC junctions are forward or
reverse biased, and determine the operating region.
Analysis:
(a)

VBC = VEC - VEB = 3.4 V. The CB junction is reverse-biased. Therefore, the transistor is in the
active region.
(b)
VBC = - 0.7 V for a npn transistor implies that the CB junction is reverse-biased.
VBE = VBC - VEC = -0.5 V. The BE junction is reverse-biased. Therefore, the transistor is in the
cutoff region.
(c)
VBE = 0.7 V for a npn transistor implies that the BE junction is forward-biased.
VBC = VEC - VEB = 0.4 V. The CB junction is forward-biased. Therefore, the transistor is in the
saturation region.
(d)
VBC = 0.6 V for a pnp transistor implies that the CB junction is reverse-biased.
VBE = VBC – VEC = - 4.8 V. The BE junction is forward-biased. Therefore, the transistor is in the
active region.

The collector-emitter voltage is greater than its saturation value (0.3 V for Silicon). Therefore the initial
assumption (operation in the active region) was correct and the solution is valid.
Notes:
1. If the collector-emitter voltage were less than its saturation value, the transistor would be operating in
its "saturation" or "ohmic" region. In this case, the collector-emitter voltage is equal to its saturation
value (0.3 V for Silicon). The solution for the base current remains valid. However, the parameter β
and the solution for the collector and emitter curents become invalid. In the saturation region, the
base-emitter junction is still forward biased and its voltage remains the same. A solution for the
collector and emitter currents is possible using the collector-emitter saturation voltage (0.3 V for
Silicon) in a KVL.
In the saturation region, the base current has no control over the collector or emitter currents (since β is
invalid). Therefore, amplification is impossible.

Find:
VCEQ and the region of operation.
Analysis:
When β is very high (say, greater than 50) the "high beta approximation" can be used, i.e.:
IC ≈ I E ≈ β I B
Using this approximation in this problem:
I BQ ≈ 12.5µA
I CQ ≈ I EQ ≈ 2.125 mA
V CEQ ≈ 0.975 V
The collector-emitter voltage is greater than the saturation value (but not by much) so the original
assumption (operation in the active region) and the solution are valid. However, when a signal is
introduced into the circuit, the collector-emitter voltage will vary about its Q point value. Since the Q point
is close to saturation, saturation and severe distortion due to clipping is likely.

Plot the DC load line on the same plot as the transistor i-v characteristic. Note that the collector current
is a linear function of the collector-emitter voltage. Only two points (the two intercepts shown as
Points 1 and 2 on the plot) are required to plot a linear function. The DC load line should pass through
the Q point.
The AC load line can now be plotted. It will pass through the Q point as does the DC load line;
however, its intercepts cannot be directly determined. Instead, its slope will be determined. The slope
and the Q point can then be used to plot the AC load line.

For AC the capacitors act as short circuits. The bypass capacitor in parallel with the emitter resistor
shorts out any AC voltage across it. The collector coupling capacitor acts as a short and connects the
load resistor to the circuit. However, no-load conditions are specified, i.e., the load current is zero or
the load resistor is replaced by an open circuit.
With no signal, the circuit operates at its Q point. When a signal is introduced, the operating point
changes along the AC load line as a function of the signal voltage. Unfortunately, the device i-v
characteristic is plotted as a function of input (base) current instead of voltage.
But, there is the static characteristic that relates collector current to base-emitter voltage:

The base-emitter signal voltage is related to the input signal voltage. At sufficiently high frequencies
(the "mid"-frequency range) the capacitors can be modeled as short circuits for AC. This means that
there is no AC voltage across either the AC coupling (DC blocking) capacitor or the capacitor
bypassing the emitter resistor. Using superposition to sum only AC voltages around the loop:

This transfer function can now be used to give the base current as a function of the input voltage. The
intersection of the base current curves with the AC load line give the corresponding values of the
collector current and collector-emitter voltage (points 3, Q and 4 on the plot):

The capacitor connecting the load to the circuit is a DC blocking [and AC coupling] capacitor.
Remember that for no load conditions, the load resistor is assumed to be open.
Again using
superposition to sum only AC voltages around the loop and modeling the capacitors as shorts:
- ve + vce + vc + vo = 0
ve = vc = 0 Ÿ vo = vce = vCE - V CEQ
The no-load voltage gain can be determined using the maximum
excursion in the input and output voltages:

∆ vi
10 ⋅10 −3 − − 10 ⋅10 −3

)
When the input voltage becomes more positive, the output voltage
becomes more negative and vice versa. This is called "phase
inversion" and is why the gain is negative. In normal amplification
this is not important. If the loading effect of the load resistance is
included, the AC load line will be steeper and the gain will be
reduced.
b) A plot is a large number of calculated points plotted and connected by
a smooth curve. In a sketch, only the most significant points
[maxima, minima, intercepts, etc] are calculated, plotted, and
connected by a carefully drawn smooth curve.
c) The output waveform is very distorted, i.e., it is not a true linearly amplified copy of the input
waveform. This is most obvious when the positive and negative peaks of the two curves are compared:
Input voltage
+10 mV
-10 mV
Output voltage
-3.06 V
+1.94 V
The two peaks of the input voltage are equal; however, the positive peak is amplified less than the
negative peak. The nonlinear (exponential) behavior of the transistor causes the amplification to be
nonlinear and the output waveform to be very distorted. This is characteristic of large signal
amplifiers.
Even more serious distortion could occur if the input voltage (also called the "excitation" or "drive")
were increased so that saturation or cutoff occurs. This causes "clipping" and a severely distorted
output.

Chapter 11 Instructor Notes
Chapter 11 introduces field-effect transistors. The material on transistors has been reorganized in
this 4th Edition, and is now divided into two independent chapters, one on bipolar devices, and one on fieldeffect devices. The two chapters are functionally independent, except for the fact that Section 10.1,
introducing the concept of transistors as amplifiers and switches, can be covered prior to starting Chapter
11 if the instructor decides to only teach field-effect devices.
Section 11.1 briefly reviews the classification and symbols for the major families of field-effect
devices. Section 11.2 introduces the fundamental ideas behind the operation of N-channel field-effect
enhancement-mode transistors, and illustrates the calculation of the state and operating point of basic fieldeffect transistor circuits. A brief explanation of P-channel devices is also presented in this section.
Section 11.3 briefly outlines the operation of MOSFET amplifiers. Section 11.4 introduces the analysis of
MOSFET switches and presents CMOS gates. The box Focus on Measurements: MOSFET bidirectional
analog gate (pp. 572-573) presents ananalog application of CMOS technology.
The end-of-chapter problems are straightforward applications of the concepts illustrated in the
chapter.
Learning Objectives
1. Understand the classification of field-effect transistors. Section 1.
2. Learn the basic operation of enhancement-mode MOSFETs by understanding their i-v
curves and defining equations. Section 2.
3. Learn how enhancement-mode MOSFET circuits are biased. Section 2.
4. Understand the concept and operation of FET amplifiers. Section 3
5. Understand the concept and operation of FET switches. Section 4.
6. Analyze FET switches and digital gates. Section 4.

Chapter 12 Instructor Notes
Chapter 12 introduces the subject of power electronics. The importance of power electronics
cannot be overemphasized, considering the widespread industrial application of electric machines, and
other high current loads in practical engineering applications. The chapter discusses the basic
characteristics and limitations of power amplifiers, practical voltage regulators, inductive loads (such as
electric motors), and SCRs. The aim is to give the student sufficient understanding of the device
characteristics to be able to complete simple "order of magnitude" calculations to be able to size a device
for a given application. This chapter is much more practically oriented than some of the others in the text,
and may be used to accompany a course in electric power and machines based on Chapters 7, 16, 17 and
18.
After Sections 12.1 and 12.2 present a classification of power electronic devices (Figure 12.1, p.
578) and circuits (Table 12.1, p. 579), the discussion is divided into the topics of Voltage Regulators
(Section 12.3), Power Amplifiers and Transistor Switches (Section 12.4), Rectifiers and Controlled
Rectifiers (Section 12.5), and Electric Motor Drives (Section 12.6)
Homework problems are divided into three major sections. The first, on voltage regulators,
includes problems two different voltage regulator circuits (12.2, 12.3) The second, on rectifiers and
controlled , illustrates a battery charging circuit (12.7) and two simple motor speed control problems (12.9,
12.10). The last section, on drives, introduces choppers, and more advanced problems on DC motor
supplies based on controlled rectifiers (12.23 and 12.24).
Learning Objectives
1. Learn the classification of power electronic devices and circuits. Sections 1 and 2.
2. Analyze the operation of practical voltage regulators. Section 3.
3. Understand the principal limitations of transistor power amplifiers. Section 4.
4. Analyze the operation of single- and three-phase controlled rectifier circuits. Section 5.
5. Understand the operation of power converters used in electric motor control, and
perform simplified analysis on DC-DC converters. Section 6.

Solution:

Analysis:
If the Zener diode is to be in the regulator mode, the CB junction must be forward biased; in this case, both
the CB and the BE junctions are forward biased, since a substantial base current will be generated through

the Zener diode (depending on the value of the shunt resistor in the output circuit). Thus, the collectorV − VCEsat
emitter voltage is equal to: VCEsat ≈ 0.2 V , and the source current will be: I S = S

The voltage across the shunt resistor will therefore be Vγ, and the output voltage is: Vout = VZ + Vγ .

Problem 12.4
Solution:
Known quantities:
The circuit shown in Figure 12.17.
Find:
If the LR load is replaced by a capacitor, draw the output waveform and label the values.
Analysis:
When the sinusoidal source voltage is in the positive half cycle, the series diode conducts, and the shunt
diode is an open circuit; thus, the positive half cycle appears directly across the capacitor (assuming ideal
diodes). During the negative half cycle, the series diode is open, and therefore the voltage across the
capacitor remains zero, as shown in the sketches below.

The motor emf constant is kaφ = 0.00167 V-s/rev, or 60*0.00167 = 0.1004 V-min/rev
At 2000 rpm, the back emf is:
Ea = kaφn = 200.4 V.
Thus, the total load voltage is

Chapter 13 Instructor Notes
Chapter 13 is a stand-alone chapter that does not require much more than a general introduction to
the idea of analog and digital signals as a prerequisite. Thus, the chapter could be covered as early as
desired. Some instructors may find it desirable to first introduce the basics of electronic switching circuits
by covering the appropriate sections of Chapters 9-11.
The first section introduces the ideas of analog and digital signals, and the concepts of sampling
and quantization, in an intuitive fashion. Section 13.2 introduces the binary number system, and binary
codes; the box Focus on Measurements: Digital Position Encoders (pp. 622-623) discusses optical position
encoders of the type commonly encountered in many industrial applications (e.g., robotics). The third
section presents the foundations of Boolean algebra, and defines the properties of logic gates; the box
Focus on Measurements: Fail-safe Autopilot Logic (p. 629) illustrates a simple application of digital logic
to motivate the content of the section from a more practical perspective. Combinational logic design
through the use of Karnaugh maps is presented in section 13.4; the boxes Focus on Methodology: Sum-ofProducts Realizations (p. 639) and Focus on Methodology: Products-of-Sums Realizations (p. 644)
summarize design procedures for sum-of-products and product-of-sums circuits. The box Focus on
Measurements: Safety Circuit for the Operation of a Stamping Press (pp. 646-648) demonstrates of the
usefulness of even the simplest logic circuits in an industrial setting. A brief survey of digital logic could
stop here, if desired.
Section 13.5 describes more advanced combinational logic modules; The box Focus on
Measurements: EPROM-based Look-up Table for Automotive Fuel Injection System Control (pp. 654-655)
is centered around the air-to-fuel ratio control problem in an internal combustion engine, and illustrates a
truly wide-spread application of digital logic, since this type of circuit is present in virtually every modern
automobile.
The end-of-chapter problems are divided into four sections. The first contains a few simple
exercises related to number systems; the second section on combinational logic offers a selection of simple
problems that are extensions of the examples given in the text, and also includes 5 applied problems (13.
19-13.23) that demonstrate the use of Boolean logic in five every-day situations. The third section covers
logic design, and also includes a couple of problems with an applied flavor (13.38, 13.53), in addition to a
variety of more traditional design problems. Problems 13.48 - 13.52 are related to number codes. The
fourth section contains a few problems related to combinational logic modules.
Learning Objectives
1. Understand the concepts of analog and digital signals and of quantization. Section 1.
2. Convert between decimal and binary number system and use the hexadecimal system
and BCD and Gray codes. Section 2.
3. Write truth tables, realize logic functions from truth tables using logic gates. Section 3.
4. Systematically design logic functions using Karnaugh maps. Section 4.
5. Study various combinational logic modules, including multiplexers, memory and
decoder elements, and programmable logic arrays. Section 5.

Problem 13.53
Solution:
Find:
A logic circuit that reports an error if the 4-bit outputs of two sensors differ by more than one part per 30 seconds
period.
Analysis:
The output of the logic circuit will be one when a difference greater or equal to 2 is detected between the two sensor
outputs.
By defining with a1, a2, a3, a4 the four bits of the first sensor, and with b1, b2, b3, b4 the bits of the second sensor, the
following Karnaugh maps can be derived.

Problem 13.56
Solution:
Known quantities:
A circuit that can operate as a 4-to-16 decoder is shown in Figure P13.56.
Find:
The operation of the 4-to-16 decoder, and the role of the logic variable A.
Analysis:
Assuming that the enable input (EN) is active high, when EN is logic 0 ( A is logic 1), all decoder outputs of the
first decoder are
forced to logic 1 independent of the inputs. However, when EN is logic 1 ( A is logic 0), all decoder outputs of the
second decoder are forced to logic 1 independent of the select inputs. Therefore, A functions as the fourth bit of the
select inputs. Thus, the circuit operates as a 4 of 16 decoder.

Chapter 14 Instructor Notes
Chapter 14 logically follows the material on combinational digital logic circuits introduced in
Chapter 13. Section 14.1 contains a discussion of sequential logic modules; the box Focus on
Measurements: Digital Measurement of Angular Position and Velocity (pp. 679-681) illustrates the use of a
counter to measure the speed of rotation of a slotted wheel; this is a very common measurement in
mechanical systems; the box Focus on Measurements: Seven-Segment Display (pp. 682-683) draws
attention to a very common logic module. Section 14.2 provides an elementary introduction to sequential
logic design, and Section 14.3 introduces microcomputers. This, and the two following sections on
microcomputer architecture and microcontrollers, have been extensively revised, and are designed to
provide an introduction to the concept of mechatronic design (see box on p. 688), recognizing that it is
impossible to include a serious coverage of microcontrollers in a single chapter. Thus, the treatment is
focused on an overview of the organization of microcontrollers, including a brief, qualitative illustration of
computer interface issues presented in Focus on Measurements: Reading Sensor Data By Using Interrupts
(pp. 697-698). The last section, 14.6, is dedicated to an example (courtesy of Delphi – Delco Electronic
Systems) that describes a current automotive engine microcontroller. The example is a qualitative
description, but will permit the instructor who desires to do so to motivate further study of this topic. The
Find-It-On-The-Web references will provide students and instructor with additional reference material on
the subject of automotive engine control.
In recent years mechanical and industrial engineering programs have seen a significant growth in
courses related to mechatronics, or more specifically to microcontroller applications in industrial and
mechanical systems. The objective of Chapter 14 is to serve as an introduction to such courses.
The homework problems are mostly devoted to sequential logic circuits; the last 6 problems
review simple concepts related to the architecture and functions of microcomputers.
Learning Objectives
1. Analyze the operation of sequential logic circuits. Section 1.
2. Understand the operation of digital counters. Section 1.
3. Design simple sequential circuits using state transition diagrams. Section 2.
4. Study the basic architecture of microprocessors and microcomputers. Sections 3,4, 5.

Assume that Q is logic 0 initially. If the input D is logic 0, the output of the gate is logic 0 which means
that the output of the T flip-flop will not be toggled (i.e., will remain logic 0). When the input D is logic 1,
the output of the gate will be logic 1. Therefore, the output of the flip-flop will be 1. Thus, the circuit will
operate as a D flip-flop.

Problem 14.7
Solution:
Known quantities:
Assume that the slotted encoder shown in Figure P14.7 has a length of 1 meter and a total of 1,000 slots
(i.e., there is one slot per millimeter.
Find:
If a counter is incremented by 1 each time a slot goes past a sensor, design a digital counting system that
determines the speed of the moving encoder (in meters per second).
Analysis:
Assuming a maximum speed of 10 m/s and a minimum speed of 1 mm/s, we can calculate the
instantaneous speed of the slotted encoder by counting the number of clock pulses between slots using a
fixed frequency clock. This resolution should be sufficient to measure the speed of the encoder over the
range of interest. The figure depicts the arrangement: A 10 kHz clock increments a 16-bit binary counter.
16
= 65,536, will be the
-4
maximum count between slots. At a speed of 10 m/s, the time for one slot to go by is 10 s, thus the
number of counts would be 1 count; at the minimum speed of 1 mm/s the number of counts would be
4
10 . A 14-bit counter would be sufficient, but in practice it is easier to cascade two 8-bit counters; thus the
The choice for a 16-bit counter is due to the maximum speed requirement:
2
choice of a 16-bit counter. The count is held by a latch, and then converted to BCD for use with sevensegment displays. The details of the seven-segment display encoders are not shown (see Focus on
Measurements: Seven-Segment Display). If a decimal point is placed to the right of the second sevensegment display (starting from the left in the figure), the display will read the speed in m/s, up to a
maximum of 10 m/s, with a resolution of 1 mm/s.

Problem 14.19
Solution:
Find:
Draw a block diagram of a circuit that will interface two interrupts, INT0 and INT1, to the INT input of a
CPU so that INT1 has the higher priority and INT0 has the lower. In other words, a signal on INT1 is to be
able to interrupt the CPU even when the CPU is currently handling an interrupt generated by INT0, but not
vice versa.
Analysis:
There are two types of interrupts: non-maskable, and maskable. When a logic signal is applied to a
maskable interrupt input (INT1 in this case), the microprocessor is immediately interrupted. When a logic
signal is applied to a maskable input (INT0 in this case), the microprocessor is interrupted only if that
particular input is enabled. Maskable interrupts are disabled or enabled under program control.

Chapter 15 Instructor Notes
Chapter 15 continues the discussion of integrated circuit electronics begun in Chapter 8with op-amps. The
Chapter is extremely modular, and the degree of coverage can vary widely, depending on the requirements of each
individual Instructor. The first two sections cover measurement systems and transducers, providing asummary in
Table 15.1 (p. 712), and noise problems. The third covers the instrumentation amplifier (which had been introduced
in Chapter 8) in greater depth. This section might be of interest by itself as an extension of Chapter 8, and can be
covered immediately following Section 8.2. Section 15.3 also discusses practical active filters, focusing on
Butterworth and Chebyshev designs, and isa logical continuation of Section 8.3 on active filters; the material in this
section is fairly advanced, and will require the student to have had a rigorous introduction to the Laplace Transform
and to systems concepts. Thus, this section will be appropriate for a second course on electronics and
instrumentation. The active filter design material would be nicely complemented by laboratory exercises; the
importance of filter design and analysis in instrumentation problems is not to be underestimated. This material
could also be supplemented very effectively by a review of filter design and analysis procedures using computer aids
(e.g., MATLAB® or Electronics Workbench®).
The material in Section 15.4, on the subject of signal interface (A/D, D/A conversion and sample-and-hold
amplifiers) is, on the other hand, much more quantitative, and can be presented separately, for example, in
conjunction with Chapter 8, or with Chapters 13 and 14. There are excellent possibilities for very useful laboratory
experiments in connection with this material. The emphasis is on illustrating the important parameters and
performance limitations in the application of commercial ADCs, DACs, and sample-and-hold amplifiers. A
commercial data acquisition board is also described in Focus on Measurements: Data Acquisition Card for Personal
Computer (pp. 747-750). It is this Author's opinion that this material is of great practical importance to non-majors,
many of whom will at some point make use of a microcomputer-based digital data acquisition system, regardless of
their specialty.
Section 15.5 can also be viewed as an extension of Chapter 8, and could be covered in a first course.
Again, the section is independent of the other sections in the chapter. In this section, the op-amp comparator and the
Schmitt trigger are introduced first. The section closes with a functional description of timing circuits including a
one-shot IC (74123) and the NE 555 timer IC.
Section 15.6 provides a summary of other IC instrumentation circuits, togive the student a flavor of the
capabilitiesof modern integrated electronics. The box Focus on Measurements: Using the ADXL202 Accelerometer
as a Multifunction Sensor in Car Alarms (pp. 762-766) provides a detailed look at an application note (Courtesy:
Analog Devices). The aim of this box is to present Application Notes as a valuable design resource for practicing
engineers.
The last section, 15.7, is somewhat unusual for a textbook of this nature in covering the basic elements of
digital data transmission. However, given the pervasive presence of digital instruments and microcomputers in
engineering laboratories and in the field, a brief survey of the IEEE 488 and RS-232 standards can prove extremely
useful in practice. New in the 4th Edition are a brief overviewof the USB and CAN bus standards.
The homework problems present a variety of analysis and design problems on instrumentation amplifiers
and active filters. Several design problems are also given to complement the section on timing circuits; a few of the
problems require the student to explore the data sheets for the AD 625 instrumentation amplifier, the 555 timer, and
the 74123 one-shot. Although these problems are fairly simple, they can be used to educate the student to search for
design parameters in the data sheets. The data sheets are provided in the CD-ROM and on the website..
Also included is a series of problems on DAC and ADC analysis and design. Some emphasis is again
placed on reading and understanding the device data sheets of commercial ADCs and DACs. Issues in sampling
frequency selection and resolution are approached in a few applied problems, where practical measurement
situations pertaining to the measurement of angular position (problem 15.59), torque (problem 15.61), and altitude
(problem 15.62) are described. The chapter problems end with a few simple problems on data transmission and
coding.

Problem 15.1
Solution:
Find:
Explain the differences between tachometers and speedometers.
Analysis:
Frequency - engine speed is normally measured right at the crankshaft prior to any gearing in rpm typically several thousands. The transducers used with speedometers measure speed at the axle in rpm typically much lower than at the engine output.
Scale factors - the tachometer would require none, the speedometer requires a conversion factor from rpm
of the axle (rotational) to mph (linear).

Problem 15.2
Solution:
Find:
Explain the differences between the engineering specifications you would write for a transducer to measure
the frequency of an audible sound wave and a transducer to measure the frequency of a visible light wave.
Analysis:
Audio frequencies: 0 < f ≤ 15 kHz
Visible frequencies: 3.9 × 10 Hz ≤ f ≤ 7.9 × 10 Hz
Devices used to measure quantities at audio frequencies will be incapable of sensing or measuring
accurately those same quantities at frequencies in the visual range.
Various types of photocells are available for use as light sensors. For audio frequencies, more conventional
devices like bridges may be used for measuring signals.

quantity that can be detected by the instrument.

Problem 15.38
Solution:
Find:
List two advantages of digital signal processing over analog signal processing.
Analysis:
1. Digital signals are less subject to noise, since one only needs to discriminate between two voltages.
2. Digital signals are directly compatible with.digital computers, and can therefore be easily stored on a
disk, or exchanged between computers. Thus, digital signals are intrinsically more portable than analog
signals.

Chapter 16 Instructor Notes
The last part of the book presents an introduction to electro-magneto-mechanical systems. Some
of the foundations needed for this material (AC power) were discussed in Chapter 7; the polyphase AC
power material in Chapter 7 may be introduced prior to covering Chapter 17, or together with the AC
machine material of Chapter 17.
The emphasis in this chapter (and the next two) is on preparing the student for the use of electromagneto-mechanical systems as practical actuators for industrial applications. Thus, more emphasis is
placed on describing the performance characteristics of linear motion actuators and of rotating machines
than on a description of their construction details. The material in Chapters 16-18 has been used by several
instructors over the last several years in a second (quarter-length) course in system dynamics (System
Dynamics and Electromechanics) designed for mechanical engineering juniors.
Section 16.1 16 reviews basic laws of electricity and magnetism, which should already be familiar
to the student from an earlier Physics course. The box Focus on Measurements: Linear Variable
Differential Transformer (pp. 795-796) presents an example related to sensors with a discussion of the
LVDT as a position transducer. Section 16.2 discusses approximate linear magnetic circuits and the idea of
reluctance, and introduces magnetic structures with air gaps and simple electro-magnets. The box Focus on
Methodology: Magnetic Structures and Magnetic Equivalent Circuits (p. 804) summarizes the analysis
methods used in this section. A magnetic reluctance position sensor is presented in Focus on
Measurements: Magnetic Reluctance Position Sensor (pp. 811-812) and Focus on Measurements: Voltage
Calculation in Magnetic Reluctance Position Sensor (pp. 812-814). The non-ideal properties of magnetic
materials are presented in Section 16.3, where hysteresis, saturation, and eddy currents are discussed
qualitatively. Section 16.4 introduces simple models for transformers; more advanced topics are presented
in the homework problems.
Section 16.5 is devoted to the analysis of forces and motion in electro-magneto-mechanical
structures characterized by linear motion. The boxes Focus on Methodology: Analysis of Moving-Iron
Electromechanical Transducers (pp. 823-824) and Focus on Methodology: Analysis of Moving-Coil
Electromechanical Transducers (p. 836) summarize the analysis methods used in this section. The author
has found that it is pedagogically advantageous to introduce the Bli and Blu laws for linear motion devices
before covering these concepts for rotating machines: the student can often visualize these ideas more
clearly in the context of a loudspeaker or of a vibration shaker. Example 16.9 (pp. 824-825) analyzes the
forces in a simple electromagnet, and Examples 16.10 (pp. 825-827) and 16.12 (p.831) extend this concept
to a solenoid and a relay. Example 16.11 (p. 827-828) ties the material presented in this chapter to the
transient analysis topics of Chapter 5. Example 16.13 (pp. 836-839) performs a dynamic analysis of a
loudspeaker, showing how the frequency response of a loudspeaker can be computed from an
electromechanical analysis of its dynamics. Finally, The box Focus on Measurements: Seismic Transducer
(pp.839-840) presents the dynamic analysis of an electromechanical seismic transducer.
The homework problems are divided into four sections. The first reviews basic concepts in
electricity and magnetism; the second presents basic and more advanced problems related to the concept of
magnetic reluctance; the third offers some problems related to transformers. Section 4 contains a variety of
applied problems related to electromechanical transducers; some of these problems emphasize dynamic
analysis (16.40, 16.41, 16.42, 16.47-50) and are aimed at a somewhat more advanced audience.

Find:
a) The current required to keep the bar in place
b) Initial current to lift the magnet if the bar is initially 0.1 m away from the electromagnet
Assumptions:
a) Air gap becomes zero and the iron reluctance cannot be neglected
b) Neglect the iron reluctance

As the wire gauge increases, the wire diameter and current carrying capacity both decrease, and in turn the
number of turns required increases, and the coil volume decreases. However, the resistance also increases
with an increase in wire gauge. Hence, the minimum volume will not result in the lowest possible
resistance. Finally, the power dissipation decreases with the increase of wire gauge due to decrease in
current capacity.

Problem 16.37
Solution:
Known quantities:
The flux density in the cast steel pathway is 1.1T . The diameter of the plunger is 10 mm .
Find:
The force
f between the faces of the poles.
Assumptions:
Air gap is negligible between walls and plunger
Since the pathway is cast steel, µ r = 1000 (from Table 16.1).
Analysis:
Using Equation 16.50:
f =
φ 2 dℜ( x )
2 dx
The flux is determined from the flux density and the area:
φ = BA
Since the plunger is cylindrical and the air gap between the plunger and the coil is negligible, the reluctance
is calculated as:
ℜ( x ) =
x
µA
where x is the gap between the plunger and back wall of the solenoid. The reluctance of the cast steel
pathway can be neglected due to the low reluctance of the structure.
The derivative of the reluctance is:

As described in Example 16.13.
Find:
Derive and sketch the frequency response of the loudspeaker in the following two cases. Describe
qualitatively how the loudspeaker frequency response changes as the spring stiffness k increases and

In this case, the speaker acts as a "woofer", emphasizing the low frequency range. In practice, k cannot be
identically zero, so the actual response of a woofer would resemble that of a midrange speaker, shifted
towards the lower frequencies.

Using MATLAB, it is easy to adjust the mechanical parameters one-by-one in order to see each parameters’ effect
on the system frequency response.
Mass: Increasing the mass decreases the frequency response center frequency.
Damping: Increasing the damping also decreases the center frequency, but also widens the response bandwidth.
Spring Rate: Decreasing the spring rate also decreases the center frequency.
There are many possible combinations of mechanical parameters that could be substituted to generate the desired
response.
One such set of parameters is: m = 0.05kg ; b = 30 N − s / m; k = 5 × 10 N / m
The frequency response for this system is given below, with the response centered over 400 Hz:

Chapter 17 Instructor Notes
The objective of Chapter 17 is to introduce the foundations for the analysis of rotating electric
machines. In Section 17.1, rotating electric machines are classified on the basis of their energy conversion
characteristics and of the nature of the electric power they absorb (or generate). Section 17.2 reviews the
physical structure of a DC machine and presents a simple general circuit model that is valid for both motors
and generators, including dynamic equations. Section 17.3 contains a brief discussion of DC generators.
Section 17.4 describes the characteristics of the various configurations of DC motors, both of the wound
stator and permanent magnet types. The torque speed characteristics of the different configurations are
compared, and the dynamic equations are given for each type of motor. The section ends with a brief
qualitative discussion of speed control in DC motors.
The second half of the chapter is devoted to the analysis of AC machines. In Section 17.5, we
introduce the concept of a rotating magnetic field. The next two sections describe synchronous generators
and motors; the discussion is brief, but includes the analysis of circuit models of synchronous machines and
a few examples. Circuit models for the induction motor, as well as general performance characteristics of
this class of machines are discussed in Section 17.8, including a brief treatment of AC machine speed and
torque control. Although the discussion of the AC machines is not particularly detailed, all of the important
concepts that a non-electrical engineer would be interested in to evaluate the performance characteristics of
these machines are introduced in the chapter, and reinforced in the homework problem set. The homework
problems include a mix of traditional electric machinery problems based on circuit models and of more
system-oriented problems. Problems 17.24-36 deal with the performance and dynamics of systems
including DC motors. These problems are derived from the author’s experience in teaching a Mechanical
Engineering System Dynamics course with emphasis on electromechanics, and are somewhat unusual
(although relevant and useful for non–electrical engineers) in this type of textbook. These problems are
well suited to a more mature audience that has already been exposed to a first course in system dynamics.
Problem 17.39 provides a link to the power electronics topics covered in Chapter 12. All other problems
are based on the content of the chapter.

Problem 17.25
Solution:
Known quantities:
Torque-speed curves of motor and load: Tm = aω + b (motor), TL = cω2 + d (load),
Find:
Equilibrium speeds and their stability.
17.21
G. Rizzoni, Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering
Problem solutions, Chapter 17
Assumptions:
All coefficients of torque-speed curve functions are positive constants
Analysis:
The first consideration is that the motor static torque, T0,m = b must exceed the load static torque, T0,L = d;
thus, the first condition is b>d.
The next step is to determine the steady state speed of the motor-load pair. If we set the motor torque equal
to the load torque, the resulting angular velocities will be the desired solutions.

Both solutions are positive, and therefore physically acceptable. The question of stability can be addressed
by considering the following sketch.

In the figure, we see that the intersection of a line with a quadratic function when both solutions are
positive leads to two possible situations: the line intersecting the parabola when the rate of change of both
curves is positive, and the line intersecting the parabola when the rate of change of torque w.r. to speed of
the latter is negative. The first case leads to an unstable operating point; the second case to a stable
operating point (you can argue each case qualitatively by assuming a small increase in load torque and
evaluating the consequences). We can state this condition mathematically by requiring that the following
steady-state stability condition hold:
dT L dTm
d
d
Evaluating this for our case, we see that
dT L dTm

From the expression we obtained earlier,

4c b d

it is clear that 2c ω>a always olds, since the term under the square root is a positive constant. Thus, this
motor-load pair always leads to stable solutions. To verify this conclusion intuitively, you might wish to
dT L dTm
plot the motor and load torque-speed curves and confirm that the condition
is always satisfied

(note that the sketch above is not an accurate graphical representation of the two curves).

Note correction to the parameter: kf = 0.12 V-s/A-rad
Find:
a)
System differential equations in symbolic form
b)

Assumptions:
The dynamics of the field circuit are negligible.

Applying KVL and equation 17.47 to the electrical circuit we obtain:

or
d m (t)

Since the dynamics of the field circuit are much faster than those of the armature circuit (time constant

and the system of equations is now:

Find:

Assumptions:
None.
Analysis:
Q : The setting of R1 determines the biasing of Q . When Q conducts, the SCR will fire, energizing
the alternator’s field.
D : This diode serves as a “free-wheeling” element, allowing the field current to circulate without
interfering with the commutation of the SCR .
Z : The Zener diode provides a fixed reference voltage at the emitter of transistor Q ; i.e., determination
of when Q conducts is controlled solely by the setting of R1 .
SCR : The SCR acts as a half-wave rectifier, providing field excitation for the alternator. Without the
field, of course, the alternator cannot generate.

Chapter 18 Instructor Notes
The content of Chapter 18 is somewhat unusual for a textbook of this nature. The intent of this
chapter is to provide a reasonably quantitative overview of the operation of small electric machines (mostly
motors). In many practical industrial applications, ranging from servos for robots, to drug delivery
systems, to actuation devices for control systems, to manufacturing equipment, to fluid power systems,
small motors find widespread application.
The first section discusses the brushless DC motor, including the basics of the electronic circuits
that make its operation possible. The second section introduces the stepper motor and its drive. In section
18.3, the switched reluctance machine is introduced; this is a new section in the third edition, motivated by
the increasing interest in this family of machines for industrial applications. Next, single phase AC motors
are discussed in Section 18.4, starting with the universal motor, and continuing with a classification of
single phase induction motors, which includes split-phase, capacitor-type and shaded-pole motors. The
presentation detail is sufficient to permit quantitative analysis of these motors using circuit models. The
final section, 18.5, on motor selection and application, introduces some of the basic ideas behind motor
selection and performance calculations. This section, which describes calculations related to reflected load
inertias in the presence of mechanical gear reductions, and calculations of acceleration, torque, efficiency,
and thermal loading, could be covered at any point in Chapter 17 or 18, even if the material in Sections
18.1-18.4 is not covered.
The examples given in the chapter are supplemented by over thirty homework problems, some of
which are extensions of the examples presented in the text. Problems 18.5 and 18.9 require some
background in digital logic circuits (Chapter 13); problems 18.7, 18.36 and 18.37 require some background
in system dynamics; all remaining problems can be solved strictly on the basis of the material covered in
the chapter.
Learning Objectives
1. Understand the basic principles of operation of brushless DC motors, and the trade-offs
between these and brush-type DC motors. Section 1.
2. Understand the operation and basic configurations of step motors, and understand step
sequences for the different classes of step motors. Section 2.
3. Understand the operating principles of switched-reluctance machines. Section 3.
4. Classify and analyze single-phase AC motors, including the universal motor and various
types of single-phase induction motors, using simple circuit models. Section 4.
5. Outline the selection process for an electric machine given an application; perform
calculations related to load inertia, acceleration, efficiency, and thermal characteristics.

To simplify the analysis, choose a symmetrical speed profile; thus, the motor will accelerate for 1.5 s and
decelerate for 1.5 s, or T1 = T2 = 1.5 s.
Using the results of Example 18.2, if we set the flat portion of the speed profile (T2 in Example 18.2) to

Problem 18.35
Solution:
Known quantities:
An electric machine is controlled so that its torque-speed characteristics exhibit a constant-torque region
and a constant-power region as shown in Figure P18.35.
Average efficiency of the electric drive is 87%.
Machine torque is constant at 150 N-m from 0 to 2500 rpm.
The constant power region is from 2500 to 6000 rpm.
Machine drives a constant torque load requiring 75 N-m.
Find:
a) Operating speed of the machine
b) Electric power needed to operate the machine
Assumptions:
None
Analysis:
a) Since the load requires less than the starting torque, the motor should be operating in the constant
power regime. The constant power is determined from the starting torque and the base speed:
P = ϖ baseTstart = (2500r / min )
(2πrad / rev ) (150 N − m) = 39.3kW
(60s / min )
The operating speed is determined from the load torque:

a. The Fourier transform for the periodic signal.
b. Frequency spectrum of the signal for To = 0.01 sec .
Analysis:
In a limiting sense, Fourier transforms can be defined for periodic signals. Therefore, it is reasonable to represent
that a periodic signal can be represented in terms of a Fourier transform, provided that this transform is permitted to
include delta functions. An ideal sampling function consists of an infinite sequence of uniformly spaced delta
functions. We observe that the generating function for the ideal sampling function is simply a delta function δ (t ) .
The periodic signal can be represented in terms of the complex exponential Fourier series:

where G ( nf 0 ) is the Fourier transform of δ (t ) evaluated at the frequency nf 0 . For the delta function:
G ( nf 0 ) = 1
for all n
Therefore, using the relation for Fourier transform pair for a periodic signal gT0 (t ) with a generating function g (t )

We can see that the Fourier transform of a periodic train of delta functions, spaced T0 seconds apart, consists of
another set of delta functions weighted by a factor f 0 =

and regularly spaced f 0 Hz apart along the frequency

axis.
Problem 19.9
Solution:
Known quantities:
Functional form of the modulating signal m(t ) , the carrier signal c(t ) , and the modulation index
c(t ) = Ac cos(2πf c t )
m(t ) = Am cos(2πf m t )
Find:
The average power delivered to a 1-ohm resistor.
Analysis:
The AM signal is given by:
s (t ) = Ac [1 + µ cos(2πf m t )] cos(2πf c t )

Expressing the product of two cosines as the sum of sinusoidal waves, we get:
s (t ) = Ac cos(2πf c t ) +

µAc cos[2π ( f c + f m )t ] + µAc cos[2π ( f c − f m )t ]

The Fourier transform of s (t ) is therefore:

Ac [δ ( f − f c ) + δ ( f + f c )]

+ µAc [δ ( f − f c − f m ) + δ ( f + f c + f m )]

Thus the spectrum of an AM wave, for sinusoidal modulation, consists of delta functions at
± f c , f c ± f m ,− f c ± f m as seen from its Fourier transform.
In practice, the AM wave s (t ) is a voltage or current wave. In either case, the average power delivered to a 1-ohm
resistor by s (t ) is comprised of three components:
Average power =

Using Parsevals energy relation we can find average power in frequency domain as:
Average power = |X(f)|2
at f = 0
Hence the carrier frequency, upper side-frequency and lower side-frequency power is:

For a load resistor R different from 1-ohm, which is usually the case in practice, the expression for carrier power,
upper side-frequency power, and lower side-frequency power are merely scaled by the factor 1 or R , depending

on whether the modulated wave s (t ) is a voltage or current, respectively.

Problem 19.10
Solution:
Known quantities:
Carrier signal frequency, f c = 0.82 MHz , upper side-band frequency components at frequencies
f s1 = 0.825 MHz, f s 2 = 0.83 MHz, f s 3 = 0.84 MHz , their amplitudes and the modulation index µ = 1 .
Find:
a. Modulating signal equation.
b. Plot spectrum of the modulating signal.
c. Plot the spectrum of the AM signal including the lower side-band.
Analysis:
a. We know from the theory for AM that the upper side-band frequency has frequency components at frequencies:
f sn = f c + f mn where n is the number of frequency components in the modulating signal
and, their amplitudes in the AM signal are 1 times the original amplitude of the modulating signal for a
2
modulation index µ = 1 . Hence, we can find the modulating signal components to be:
m1 (t ) = 0.8 sin(2π 5000t )
m2 (t ) = 0.4 sin(2π 10000t )
m3 (t ) = 0.5 sin(2π 20000t )
Hence the modulating signal is:
m(t ) = 0.8 sin(2π 5000t ) + 0.4 sin(2π 10000t ) + 0.5 sin(2π 20000t )
b.
c.
The spectrum for the modulating signal is shown in Figure 19.xx
The spectrum for the AM modulated signal with the lower side-band is shown in Figure 19.xx
Problem 19.11
Known quantities:
AM frequency spectrum from 525 kHz to 1.7 MHz , bandwidth for each channel is 10 kHz
Find:
a. Number of channels that can be transmitted in the given frequency range
b. The maximum modulating frequency that can be transmitted without overlap.
Analysis:
Assume: No guardband between channels.
a. The frequency range allocated for AM broadcast is
f R = 1700 − 525 = 1175 kHz
This range is partitioned to allow 10 kHz of separation between each channel; therefore, the total number of
channels, N is
1175
≈ 118 channels
N=
10
b. The carriers of two separate channels are separated by 10 kHz . If we let the maximum frequency of the
message signal increase, the outer edges of both sidebands move away from the carrier frequency and into each
other, thereby increasing the bandwidth of each AM channel. The maximum allowable message frequency will
occur at the midpoint of the spacing between the carriers. Hence, the maximum message frequency is half the
frequency spacing between the carriers.
f m (max) = 5 kHz
