Control problem. Transfer function of an electrical system

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on deriving the transfer function of an electrical system, specifically achieving the correct transfer function UR(s)/U(s) = 1/(s+2). The user attempts to apply Kirchhoff's voltage law and the Laplace Transform to formulate the transfer function but encounters confusion regarding the application of these principles. The correct approach involves recognizing the relationships between voltage, current, and resistance in the context of the system's components, particularly when applying Laplace Transform techniques.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Kirchhoff's voltage law
  • Proficiency in Laplace Transform techniques
  • Familiarity with electrical circuit components (resistors, inductors)
  • Knowledge of transfer functions in control systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of Laplace Transforms in electrical circuit analysis
  • Learn about deriving transfer functions from state-space representations
  • Explore the implications of Kirchhoff's laws in circuit design
  • Investigate common mistakes in applying Laplace Transforms to circuit equations
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, control system designers, and students studying circuit analysis who seek to understand the derivation of transfer functions and the application of Laplace Transforms in electrical systems.

1. Electrical system given. Find a transfer function. Correct answer UR(s)/U(s)=1/(s+2)

2. My attempt
Use Kirchhoff's voltage law u(t)-i(t)*R1-UR(t)=0; u(t)=i(t)R1+uR(t); apply Laplace Transform (L.T.) U(s)=I(s)R1+UR(s)

i(t)=i1(t)+i2(t)=1/L*\intuR(t) dt+uR(t)/R2; take a L.T. assuming zero initial conditions I(s)=1/(L*s)*UR(s)+UR(s)/R2=UR(s)[1/(L*s)+1/R2]; since L=R1=R2=1 I(s)=UR(s)*(1/s+1); UR(s)=I(s)/(1/s+1)

H(s)=HR(s)/U(s)=[I(s)/(1/s+1)]/[I(s)R1+UR(s)]=[I(s)/(1/s+1)]/[I(s)+I(s)/(1/s+1)]=[1/(1/s+1)]/[1+1/(1/s+1)]=s/(1+2s)

Where am I making a mistake?

I'm not going to look through your nonlatex work but I'll post a set up that should be correct.

\frac{u_R(t)-u(t)}{R_1}+\frac{u_R(t)}{sL}+\frac{u_R(t)}{R_2}=0

I am assuming you are using the Kirchhoff's current law?

I agree with everything, except the frac \frac{u_R(t)}{sL}.Can you, please explain, how does this results in current? How can you have a time domain function in the numerator and a frequency variable in the denominator?
