- | In the following, the charging process of a capacitor is to be considered in more detail. For this purpose, one has to realize, that during charging of the capacitor, besides the voltage source $U_q$ and the capacitor $C$, there is always a resistance $R$ in the circuit. This is composed of the internal resistance of the (non-ideal) voltage source, the internal resistance of the capacitor and the parasitic (=interfering) resistance of the line. In practical applications it is often desired that capacitors charge in a certain time range. For this purpose, another real resistor is inserted into the circuit.

+ | |||
+ | We see that for the time constant, we need to use $R=R_1 + R_2$. | ||
+ | |||

+ | 1.2 What is the formula for the voltage $u_{R2}$ over the resistor $R_2$? Derive a general formula without using component values! | ||
+ | |||
+ | # | ||
+ | |||
+ | To get a general formula, we again look at the circuit, but this time with the voltage arrows. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{drawio> | ||
+ | |||
+ | We see, that: $U_1 = u_C + u_{R2}$ and there is only one current in the loop: $i = i_C = i_{R2}$\\ | ||
+ | The current is generally given with the exponential function: $i_c = {{U}\over{R}}\cdot e^{-t/\tau}$, with $R$ given here as $R = R_1 + R_2$. | ||
+ | Therefore, $u_{R2}$ can be written as: | ||
+ | |||
+ | \begin{align*} | ||
+ | u_{R2} &= R_2 \cdot i_{R2} \\ | ||
+ | & | ||
+ | \end{align*} | ||
+ | |||

+ | \begin{align*} | ||
+ | u_{R2} = U_1 \cdot {{R_2}\over{R_1 + R_2}} \cdot e^{t/ \tau} | ||
+ | \end{align*} | ||
+ | # | ||
+ | |||

+ | At this point, the switch $S_1$ will be opened. \\ Calculate $t_1$! | ||
+ | |||
+ | # | ||
+ | |||
+ | We can derive $u_{C}$ based on the exponential function: $u_C(t) = U_1 \cdot (1-e^{-t/ | ||
+ | Therefore, we get $t_1$ by: | ||
+ | |||
+ | \begin{align*} | ||

+ | |||
+ | 3.1 What is the new time constant $\tau_2$? | ||
+ | |||
+ | # | ||
+ | |||
+ | Again, the time constant $\tau$ is given as: $\tau= R\cdot C$. \\ | ||
+ | Again, we try to determine which $R$ and $C$ must be used here. \\ | ||
+ | To find this out, we have to look at the circuit when $S_1$ is open and $S_2$ is closed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{drawio>electrical_engineering_1: | ||
+ | |||
+ | We see that for the time constant, we now need to use $R=R_3 + R_2$. | ||
+ | |||
+ | \begin{align*} | ||
+ | \tau_2 &= R\cdot C \\ | ||
+ | & | ||
+ | \end{align*} | ||
+ | |||
+ | # | ||

+ | |||
+ | 3.2 Calculate the moment $t_3$ when $u_{R2}$ is smaller than $1/10 \cdot U_2$. | ||
+ | |||
+ | # | ||
+ | |||
+ | To calculate the moment $t_3$ when $u_{R2}$ is smaller than $1/10 \cdot U_2$, we first have to find out the value of $u_{R2}(t_2 = 10 ~\rm ms)$, when $S_2$ just got closed. \\ | ||
+ | * Starting from $t_2 = 10 ~\rm ms$, the voltage source $U_2$ charges up the capacitor $C$ further. | ||
+ | * Before at $t_1$, when $S_1$ got opened, the value of $u_c$ was: $u_c(t_1) = 4/5 \cdot U_1 = 4 ~\rm V$. | ||
+ | * This is also true for $t_2$, since between $t_1$ and $t_2$ the charge on $C$ does not change: $u_c(t_2) = 4 ~\rm V$. | ||
+ | * In the first moment after closing $S_2$ at $t_2$, the voltage drop on $R_3 + R_2$ is: $U_{R3+R2} = U_2 - u_c(t_2) = 6 ~\rm V$. | ||
+ | * So the voltage divider of $R_3 + R_2$ lead to $ \boldsymbol{u_{R2}(t_2 = 10 ~\rm ms)} = {{R_2}\over{R_3 + R2}} \cdot U_{R3+R2} = {{2 {~\rm k\Omega}}\over{3 {~\rm k\Omega} + 2 {~\rm k\Omega} }} \cdot 6 ~\rm V = \boldsymbol{2.4 ~\rm V} $ | ||
+ | |||
+ | We see that the voltage on $R_2$ has to decrease from $2.4 ~\rm V $ to $1/10 \cdot U_2 = 1 ~\rm V$. \\ | ||
+ | To calculate this, there are multiple ways. In the following, one shall be retraced: | ||
+ | * We know, that the current $i_C = i_{R2}$ subsides exponentially: | ||
+ | * So we can rearrange the task to focus on the change in current instead of the voltage. | ||
+ | * The exponential decay is true regardless of where it starts. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So from ${{i_{R2}(t)}\over{I_{R2~ 0}}} = {\rm e}^{-t/ | ||
+ | \begin{align*} | ||
+ | {{i_{R2}(t_3)}\over{i_{R2}(t_2)}} & | ||
+ | -{{t_3 - t_2}\over{\tau_2}} | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | \end{align*} | ||
+ | |||
+ | # | ||
+ | |||
+ | # | ||
+ | \begin{align*} | ||
+ | t_3 &= 14.4~\rm ms \\ | ||
