Calculating Voltage in a Time-Varying Inductance Circuit

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating voltage in a circuit with time-varying inductance and the relationship between current and charge density. The user, Mica, seeks to understand how to relate current to charge density and voltage in a coil setup. Key points include the formulas for voltage in inductive circuits, particularly the equation V = Inductance * d(Current)/dt, and the implications of time-varying inductance. It is noted that to calculate voltage between two rings in a coil, additional information about the inductance's time dependence is necessary. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding both current and inductance dynamics in electrical circuits.

Hi all,

I cann't figure out the relationship between a current and the charge density. I have a current Io which circulated in a hollow cylindrique, how can I related with the charge density?

Something like charge density = Io * ...

Thanks in advance,

Mica

A conductor has no net charge, current is just the flow
of electrons inside it. If you do have a net charge then
you need to divide it by the volume (C/ft^3). If, perhaps,
you meant current density - then you need to divide the
value of the current through a cross section area by the
size of that area (Amperes/square inch).

Well, I'm trying to find the potentiel of an circular ring. The formula is :

V = lamda * a /(2*eo*(a2 + d2)1/2)

all the parametres are known expect one is the lamda. Lamda is the lineaire charge density so, if I know the current and should know the charge density?

Thanks,

Mica
 
Is your ring open or closed, and connected to something
else - a circuit or something ? If you just have charge
on a ring then there's NO current, and if there's just current
in a circuit there's NO charge to create an external potential
outside the ring. Perhaps if you describe the whole problem
I'll be able to help you more.

Live long and prosper.
 
Hi,

I have a coil which I will applied a current into. I want to know the voltage which circuled between the conductor rings. So, I think that if I can calculed one ring, it will be the same for other rings. Is it possible?
Thanks,

Mica
 
Current= charge density * velocity of the charges

Perhaps this will help:
1.- Voltage = Inductance * d (Current)/dt

2.- Voltage = d (flux) / dt

If you calculate for one ring and want to calculate for the whole coil, you'll have to assume that in the coil all the current flows in a circular path, which may be a good aprox. and then integrate the whole thing
 
Thanks for your reply. I have found something in electronic circuit. I have saw the term that you have provided to me which is:
Voltage = Inductance * d(current)/dt but I have found the whole equation.

Inductance * d(Current)/dt + Current * d(Inductance)/dt + Resistance * Current = 0

If I decompose the terms,

Voltage = Inductance * d(current)/dt for one ring
Voltage = Resistance * Current for lost in Ohmic
Voltage = Current * d(Inductance)/dt , what is this term for or means ?

Thanks,

Mica
 
The equation above is for time variant Inductances. It comes from noting these:

V= \frac{d\phi}{dt}

where V= voltage and \phi is the flux of magnetic field. For linear inductors:

\phi= L i where L is the inductance and i is the current

therefore

V= \frac{d\phi}{dt} = L\frac{d i}{dt}+ i \frac{d L}{dt}

But in most situations the inductance is time invariant, therefore the second term vanishes

Thanks for the details. If the inductance is time variant, then how can I calculated the voltage between two rings of the coil?

I think you should have some extra information to get the \frac{dL}{dt}. For instance, some info like L(t)

I mean to calculed the voltage between two rings, if the inductance is time variant, I have to add this term \frac{dL}{dt}?
