Transient Response of Electrical Network

In summary, the conversation discusses questions related to capacitance, inductance, and oscillations in a circuit. It is mentioned that in capacitance, current leads voltage, while in inductance, current lags voltage. It is also stated that for oscillations, the resistance should be 0 and if it is not, the circuit is damped. However, it is noted that damped oscillations are still considered oscillations. The conversation also includes a question about the complex impedance in exercise 2 and a discussion about the incorrect answer provided in the book.

Homework Equations


In Capacitance current leads voltage
In Inductance current lags voltage
For oscillations R = 0

3. The Attempt at a Solution

Since current is leading voltage in above question, impedance is capacitive.
Book answer is D for both.
How?

And for 3rd question, should R be 0, else circuit is damped. Oscillations mean undamped system so R = 0.

No. Transient (damped) oscillations are also oscillations.

Two for the price of one ? What is the complex impedance ##Z## in exercise 2 ?

z = v / i = 200 sin (2000t +50) / 4 cos (2000t + 11.32)
= 50 sin (2000t + 50) / sin (2000t + 11.32 + 90) = 50 sin (2000t + 50) / sin (2000t + 101.32)
For this to be resistance the phase angle must be zero which doesn't happen. So I think D cannot be right answer. Resistance cannot vary with time so the sine term must be a constant and not a time variant.

I agree there must be something wrong with the book answer for exercise 2.

1. What is the transient response of an electrical network?

The transient response of an electrical network is the behavior of the network when it is subjected to a sudden change in its input or operating conditions. It is a temporary response that occurs before the network reaches its steady-state.

2. What factors affect the transient response of an electrical network?

The transient response of an electrical network is affected by various factors such as the network's energy storage elements (capacitors and inductors), resistance, and the input signal's characteristics (amplitude, frequency, and duration).

3. How is the transient response of an electrical network represented?

The transient response of an electrical network is represented by a graph of the output voltage or current over time. This graph typically shows an initial spike (overshoot) followed by a gradual decrease until the network reaches its steady-state.

4. What is the difference between transient response and steady-state response?

The transient response is the temporary behavior of an electrical network when it is subjected to a sudden change in its input, while the steady-state response is the stable behavior of the network after it has settled to its new input conditions. The steady-state response is also known as the long-term response.

5. How can the transient response of an electrical network be improved?

The transient response of an electrical network can be improved by using components with lower resistance and higher capacitance or inductance values, as they can store more energy and reduce the initial spike. Additionally, using filters and proper circuit design techniques can also help improve the transient response of a network.
