1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,150 >> We're now going to derive the Impedance of the Capacitor. 2 00:00:03,150 --> 00:00:06,150 Again impedance we have defined as 3 00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:09,660 being the ratio of the phasor voltage to the phasor current. 4 00:00:09,660 --> 00:00:14,115 So let's determine that relationship now for our capacitor. 5 00:00:14,115 --> 00:00:18,105 Once again, we're going to define a voltage or reference voltage v of 6 00:00:18,105 --> 00:00:23,090 t and a current flowing through the capacitor flowing or as reference, 7 00:00:23,090 --> 00:00:26,600 from the positive to the negative reference to terminal. 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,480 Now this time around, let's assume that the voltage and 9 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,025 the capacitor is equal to or is of the form V sub m, 10 00:00:34,025 --> 00:00:38,130 cosine of Omega t plus Theta sub V. 11 00:00:38,130 --> 00:00:44,090 We know that in a capacitor i is equal to c times 12 00:00:44,090 --> 00:00:46,135 the derivative of the voltage, 13 00:00:46,135 --> 00:00:49,940 which is going to equal then c. Now once again, 14 00:00:49,940 --> 00:00:52,150 the derivative of cosine is negative the sine, 15 00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:53,960 so we'll bring that negative out in front here, 16 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,675 the chain rule is going to give us an Omega out in front. 17 00:00:56,675 --> 00:01:01,770 We have then the V sub m and we will have in the sine, 18 00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:03,950 the derivative of cosine is the sine of the 19 00:01:03,950 --> 00:01:06,740 negative already taken care of sine of Omega t 20 00:01:06,740 --> 00:01:12,080 plus Theta sub V. Once again, 21 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,310 we want to write this in terms of cosine rather than a sine. 22 00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:19,140 So this is going to equal negative C times 23 00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:22,140 Omega times V sub m times the cosine 24 00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:29,200 of Omega t plus Theta sub V minus 90 degrees. 25 00:01:29,270 --> 00:01:32,900 Now, let's write both of these and their phasor forms. 26 00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:35,795 This time we have phasor V is equal to, 27 00:01:35,795 --> 00:01:43,505 V sub m e to the j Theta sub V. We can write phasor I is equal to 28 00:01:43,505 --> 00:01:51,060 negative negative C Omega V sub m, e 29 00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:56,835 to the j Theta sub V minus 90 degrees. 30 00:01:56,835 --> 00:02:00,470 Again, using the product of 31 00:02:00,470 --> 00:02:05,570 two exponential terms is that you add the exponents and do that. 32 00:02:05,570 --> 00:02:12,140 So we have the answer is equal to negative C Omega V sub m e to 33 00:02:12,140 --> 00:02:19,885 the j Theta sub V e to the minus j90 degrees. 34 00:02:19,885 --> 00:02:25,205 As before, this term right there is just minus j. 35 00:02:25,205 --> 00:02:29,075 So we take the minus times a minus that gives us a positive, 36 00:02:29,075 --> 00:02:35,840 and bringing the J into this makes here we have then J Omega C, 37 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,420 V sub m e to the j Theta sub V. Again, 38 00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:43,400 we recognize that right there as being 39 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,590 phasor V. So we can then write that phasor 40 00:02:48,590 --> 00:02:56,330 I is equal to j Omega C times phasor V. Now, 41 00:02:56,330 --> 00:02:58,910 let's go ahead and form the impedance by 42 00:02:58,910 --> 00:03:02,135 writing a ratio of phasor V to phasor I. 43 00:03:02,135 --> 00:03:08,730 We have Z then is equal to phasor V divided by phasor I, 44 00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:16,715 but phasor I is just j Omega C times phasor V. The phasor V is cancel. 45 00:03:16,715 --> 00:03:21,890 We get then that the impedance of a capacitor is equal to one over 46 00:03:21,890 --> 00:03:30,170 j Omega C. Sometimes we'll write that by bringing the j up into the numerator, 47 00:03:30,170 --> 00:03:32,360 changing the sign on it which then gives us 48 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:38,985 a negative J times 1 over Omega C. All right. 49 00:03:38,985 --> 00:03:40,640 We need to make some observations here. 50 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,725 First of all, notice that the impedance of the capacitor is negative. 51 00:03:45,725 --> 00:03:47,780 Second of all, notice 52 00:03:47,780 --> 00:03:55,245 the frequency dependency of the capacitor impedance is inversely. 53 00:03:55,245 --> 00:03:57,320 In other words, I'll say it better, 54 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,835 the impedance of a capacitor is inversely proportional, 55 00:04:01,835 --> 00:04:06,295 to the frequency of the circuit source that's driving it. 56 00:04:06,295 --> 00:04:08,595 Remind ourselves here. 57 00:04:08,595 --> 00:04:11,030 The impedance of an inductor was j times Omega 58 00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:16,550 L. The impedance of an inductor was directly proportional to the frequency. 59 00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:21,320 The impedance of a capacitor is inversely proportional to the frequency. 60 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,720 When the frequency is small, 61 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,320 the impedance of the capacitor is large and in fact, 62 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,705 that DC when Omega equals 0, 63 00:04:29,705 --> 00:04:32,225 the capacitor has an infinite impedance. 64 00:04:32,225 --> 00:04:35,165 It is effectively an open circuit. 65 00:04:35,165 --> 00:04:40,314 As the frequency gets larger and larger as the frequency approaches infinity, 66 00:04:40,314 --> 00:04:44,510 a larger number in the denominator makes the impedance of the capacitor gets 67 00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:48,680 smaller and smaller and in the limit as Omega goes to infinity, 68 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,200 the impedance capacitor goes to zero. 69 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:58,230 At high frequencies, the capacitor is approximated by a short circuit. 70 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:05,695 So for example, let's say that we've got a 10 microfarad capacitor. 71 00:05:05,695 --> 00:05:12,480 The source is driving this is some V sub 72 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:19,590 s of t is equal to 5 cosine of 5,000t. 73 00:05:19,590 --> 00:05:25,645 In other words, Omega is equal to 5,000 radians per second. 74 00:05:25,645 --> 00:05:28,385 Then the impedance of the capacitor in this circuit, 75 00:05:28,385 --> 00:05:35,220 this 10 microfarad capacitor would be equal to 1 over j times Omega which is 76 00:05:35,220 --> 00:05:42,405 5,000 times c which is 10 times 10 to the minus 6. 77 00:05:42,405 --> 00:05:45,545 You do the math on that, again bringing the j in the numerator. 78 00:05:45,545 --> 00:05:47,870 Here you'll get that the impedance of this capacitor would 79 00:05:47,870 --> 00:05:51,375 be negative negative j20. 80 00:05:51,375 --> 00:05:54,650 As we mentioned, the impedance of the capacitor is negative, 81 00:05:54,650 --> 00:05:57,140 the impedance of the inductor is positive. 82 00:05:57,140 --> 00:05:58,790 The impedance of the inductor, 83 00:05:58,790 --> 00:06:00,755 in fact, let's just make a little chart here. 84 00:06:00,755 --> 00:06:05,390 In the time domain R and the impedance for 85 00:06:05,390 --> 00:06:10,400 a resistor is just plain old R. For a capacitor, 86 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,650 the impedance of a capacitor is 1 over j Omega C. 87 00:06:15,650 --> 00:06:22,610 For an inductor, the impedance of the inductor is J Omega L. 88 00:06:22,610 --> 00:06:28,835 Finally, in each of these cases, Ohm's law applies. 89 00:06:28,835 --> 00:06:36,470 We have then that V is equal to I times Z because we 90 00:06:36,470 --> 00:06:45,750 defined Z to be the ratio of phasor V to phasor I.
