====== 4. Analysis of direct current networks ======
{{drawio>Examples Networks}}
Network analysis plays a central role in electrical engineering. It is so important because it can be used to simplify what at first sight appear to be complicated circuits and systems to such an extent that they can be understood and results derived from them.
In addition, networks also occur in other areas, for example the force flow through a truss or the heat flow through individual hardware elements (). The concepts shown below can also be applied to these networks.
On the {{wpde>network_analysis_(electrical_engineering)|wiki page on network analysis}} the different methods are described very well in a compact way
=== Goals ===
After this lesson, you should:
- be able to determine the number of nodes, number of (tree and connecting) branches, and number of meshes.
- be able to construct a complete tree from an electrical network.
- be able to understand the branch current method, mesh current method, and node potential method.
- Understand and be able to apply the superposition procedure.
Due to the shortened semester, only the subchapter [[analysis_of_dc_grids#overlay_procedure_superposition_principle|4.5]] is relevant for WiSe2020.
===== 4.1 Preliminary work on network analysis =====
==== Preparation of the circuit ====
{{drawio>PreparingTheCircuit}}
Before the network analysis can be tackled, the circuit must be suitably prepared (cf. ):
- Clarify what is given and what is sought
- Draw a circuit
- Add counting arrows. If not already given, then:
- First draw current and voltage arrows at all sources according to the generator arrow system.
- Afterwards define the current arrows at the remaining branches as you like.
- Finally, draw the voltage arrows at the loads according to the load arrow system.
- Select suitable current and voltage designations. If not already given, then:
- Count indices continuously, i.e. one number per element (source or load).
- Do not insert any signs in front of the designators in the circuit.
In real applications it is useful to specify the number of variables ("what is wanted?"), parameters ("what can be adjusted?", e.g. potentiometer) and known quantities ("what is given?"). \\ This makes it clear how many equations are needed. This seems to become difficult for larger networks - but a trick for this is presented below.
It often helps to draw the drawing several times (at least in your head) to have enough space for the identifiers (cf. below).

==== Graph and Trees ====
{{drawio>GraphOfANetwork}}
In the chapter [[simple_dc_circuits#nodes_branches_and_meshes|2. simple dc_circuits]] the terms nodes, branches and meshes have already been explained. These will now be expanded here to better explain the various network analysis methods in the following.
In the **graph** of the example network is drawn. We had already seen this one too, but without knowing that this is called a graph! \\
But the important thing is: In this graph only the (real) nodes are drawn. Nodes are by definition the connection of __more than two__ branches. Accordingly, the connection between $R_{10}$ and $R_7$ is __not a node__ ((sometimes such connections are called "fake nodes"))! For this reason also the blue circle as sign for nodes is omitted here.
A concept that has not yet appeared is that of the complete tree. For this, some (mathematical) graph theory is needed. There, too, the terms nodes and meshes are used as before. A **tree** here is a special kind of graph. The graph in shows several meshes. \\
Now a tree is characterized precisely by the fact that it contains __no__ meshes. Three different trees are drawn in the picture. From a given network, many different trees can be created (depending on the number of nodes). \\
Among the different trees, there are now some in which each node connects two or fewer meshes.((Here we now depart from the previous electrotechnical notion of node (= connecting more than 2 branches). The mathematical notion of node does not have this restriction)) These are called **complete trees** (occasionally also {{wpde>Hamilton circle problem|Hamilton way}}). Complete trees can also be understood as this shows a path through the network where all nodes are visited only exactly once.
Tree 3 in is now just one of the possible complete trees of this network.
The branches in complete trees are now distinguished according to their membership:
* **tree branches** belong to the complete tree (solid lines in ).
* **Connecting branches** do not belong to the complete tree (dotted lines in ).
Why does the swing to graph theory make sense now? The trick is that by defining the complete tree, all meshes have just been removed. Conversely, a new (independent) mesh can be created by each connecting branch. So if the number of independent mesh equations $m$ is sought, this is just equal to the number of connecting branches.
To do this, proceed as follows:
- Determine the number of (real) nodes $k$.
- Determine the number of branches $z$
- The number of tree branches $b$ is now $k-1$. (each node is traversed only once; at the last node there is no further branch).
- The number of connecting branches $v$ is given by "All branches minus tree branches": $v = z - b = z - k + 1$
Thus, the number of independent mesh equations $m$ is findable by counting the nodes $k$ and branches $z$ over $m = v = z - k + 1$.
This explanation can also be heard again in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7z1pRCzEuw|this video]] and is explained again clearly via [[https://studyflix.de/informatik/euler-und-hamiltonkreis-1287|StudyFlix]].

===== 4.2 Branch Current Procedure =====
{{drawio>example circuit}}
In the branch current method now "simply times" (almost) all equations of the circuit. Specifically, for each node and each __independent__ mesh, the node and mesh equations are written down:
* for all nodes k respectively the equation: $\sum_{k=0}^{N_k}{I_k}=0$
* for all independent meshes m respectively the equation: $\sum_{m=0}^{N_m}{U_m}=0$ \\ Here the number $m$ (as mentioned in the previous subsection) can be determined by the number of nodes and branches.
This forms a linear system of equations. This can then be considered as a matrix equation and solved with the rules of (mathematical) art.
For the example (), these would be the equations:

The matrices still need to be corrected for the voltage and current sources!!!

===== 4.3 Mesh flow method =====
In the mesh flow method, only for all meshes m each equation: $\sum\limits_{j=0}^{N_j}{U_j}=0$ are considered. However, these are represented in the form $R\cdot I = U $.
The advantage here is that the number of equations to be solved is reduced to the number of independent mesh currents.
These can also be considered as matrix equations and can be solved with the rules of (mathematical) art.
In video 1, the mesh flow method is applied by means of an example.
Important: Although the video explains the application super, but contains a small error at minute 6:50. The sign of the voltages on the right side must be inverted in each case. This was also explained correctly a few seconds before.

===== 4.4 Nodal potential method =====
In the nodal potential method, only the equation: $\sum\limits_{i=0}^{N_i}{I_i}=0$ are considered for all nodes k respectively. However, these are expressed in the form ${1\over R} \cdot U = I $ and $G \cdot U = I $ respectively.
The advantage here is that the number of equations to be solved is reduced to the number of existing nodes (minus 1).
These can also be considered as matrix equations and can be solved with the rules of (mathematical) art.
In Video 1, the idea behind node potential analysis is simply explained.

===== 4.5 Superposition method / Superposition principle =====
The superposition principle shall first be illustrated by some examples
.
**Task**: Three students are to fill a pool. If Alice were to fill it alone, she would need 2 days. Bob would need 3 days and Carol would need 4 days. How long would it take all three to fill a pool if they helped together? \\ \\
The question sounds far off topic at first, but is directly related. The point is that to solve it, filling the pool is assumed to be linear. So Alice will fill $1 \over 2$, Bob $1 \over 3$, and Carol $1 \over 4$ of the pool per day. So on the first day, ${1 \over 2}+{1 \over 3}+{1 \over 4} = {{6 + 4 + 3} \over 12} = {13 \over 12}$ of the pool filled. \\ So the three of them need ${12 \over 13}$ of a day. \\ \\
However, this solution path is only possible because in linear systems the partial results can be added.
{{drawio>mechanicalspring}}
**Task**:A mechanical, linear spring is deflected with masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ in the Earth's gravitational field (see ). What is the magnitude of the deflection if both masses are attached simultaneously? \\ \\
Again, a linear law is used here:
\begin{align*}
\vec{s}= f(\vec{F}) = - D \cdot \vec{F}
\end{align*}
The (seemingly trivial) approach applies here:
\begin{align*}
\vec{s}_{1+2} = f(\vec{F_1} + \vec{F_2}) &= - D \cdot (\vec{F_1} + \vec{F_2}) \\
&= - D \cdot \vec{F_1} - D \cdot \vec{F_2} \\
&= f(\vec{F_1}) + f(\vec{F_2}) \
&= \vec{s_1} + \vec{s_2}
\end{align*}
In a physical system in which effect and cause are linearly related, the effect of each cause can first be determined separately. The total effect is then the sum of the individual effects.
For electrical engineering this principle was described by {{wpde>Hermann_von_Helmholtz}}:
> The currents in the branches in a linear network are equal to the sum of the partial currents in the branches concerned caused by the individual sources.
Thus, in the superposition method, the current (or voltage) sought in a circuit with multiple sources can be viewed as a superposition of the resulting currents (or voltages) of the individual sources.
The "recipe" for the overlay is as follows:
- Choose next source ''x''
- Replace all ideal sources with their respective equivalent resistors:
- ideal voltage sources by short circuits
- ideal current sources by an open line
- Calculate the partial currents sought in the branches considered.
- Go to the next source ''x=x+1''(( ''x=x+1'' is not meant mathematically, but procedurally as in the programming language C)) and to point 2, as long as the partial currents of all sources have not been calculated.
- Add up the partial currents in the branches under consideration, observing the correct sign.
This procedure is explained again in more detail using examples in the two videos on the right.

Imagine you want to develop a circuit that conditions a sensor signal so that it can be processed by a microcontroller. The sensor signal is in the range $U_{sens} \in [-15...15V]$, the microcontroller input can read values in the range $U_{uC} \in [0...3.3V]$. The sensor can supply a maximum current of $I_{sens,max}=1mA$. For the internal resistance of the microcontroller input applies: $R_{uC} \rightarrow \infty$
For conditioning, the input signal is to be fed via the series resistor $R_3$ to the center potential of a voltage divider $R_1 - R_2$ with $R_1$ against $U_{uC,max}$ (similar circuit see in simulation on the right).
- Find the relationship between $R_1$, $R_2$ and $R_3$ using superposition.
- Find the relationship between $R_1$, $R_2$ and $R_3$ using star-delta transformation.
- What is the input resistance $R_{in}(R_1, R_2,R_3)$ of the circuit (viewed from the sensor)?
- What is the maximum allowed input resistance $R_{in}(R_1, R_2,R_3)$ for the sensor to still deliver current?
- Determine suitable values for $R_1$, $R_2$ and $R_3$.
- What values for $R^0_1$, $R^0_2$, and $R^0_3$ from the [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Reihe|E24 series]] can be used to do this?

On the rotor of an asynchronous motor, the windings are designed in copper.
The length of the winding wire is 40 m.
The diameter is 0.4 mm.
When the motor is started, it is uniformly cooled down to the ambient temperature of 20°C.
During operation, the windings on the rotor have a temperature of 90°C. \\
$\alpha_{Cu,20°C}=0,0039 \frac{1}{K}$ \
$\beta_{Cu,20°C}=0,6 \cdot 10^{-6} \frac{1}{K^2}$ \
$\rho_{Cu,20°C}=0.0178 \frac{\Omega mm^2}{m}$
Use both the linear and quadratic temperature coefficients!
1. determine the resistance of the line for $T = 20°C$.
\begin{align*}
R_{20°C} &= \rho_{Cu,20°C} \cdot \frac{l}{A} && | \text{with } A = r^2 \cdot \pi = \frac{1}{4} d^2 \cdot \pi \.
R_{20°C} &= \rho_{Cu,20°C} \cdot \frac{4 \cdot l}{d^2 \cdot \pi} && \\
R_{20°C} &= 0.0178 \frac{\Omega mm^2}{m} \cdot \frac{4 \cdot 40m}{(0.4mm)^2 \cdot \pi} && \\
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
R_{20°C} &= 5.666 \Omega -> 5.7 \Omega \.
\end{align*}
\\
2. what is the increase in resistance $\Delta R$ between $20°C$ and $90°C$ for a winding?
\begin{align*}
R_{90°C} &= R_{20°C} \cdot ( 1 + \alpha_{Cu,20°C} \cdot \Delta T + \beta_{Cu,20°C} \cdot \Delta T^2 ) && | \text{with } \Delta T = T_2 - T_1 = 90°C - 20°C = 70 °C = 70 K\\
\Delta R &= R_{20°C} \cdot ( \alpha_{Cu,20°C} \cdot \Delta T + \beta_{Cu,20°C} \cdot \Delta T^2 ) \.
\Delta R &= 5.666 \Omega \cdot ( 0.0039 \frac{1}{K} \cdot 70K + 0.6 \cdot 10^{-6} \frac{1}{K^2} \cdot (70K)^2 ) \\

$R_1=10 \Omega$\\
$R_2=20 \Omega$\\
$R_3=5 \Omega$\\
and the switch $S$.
1. determine the total resistance $R_{ges}$ between A and B by summing the resistances with the switch $S$ open.
* How can the circuit be better represented or pulled apart?
* The switch should be replaced by an open wire in this case.
First of all, it is a good idea to reshape the circuit so that the actual structure becomes visible. \\
For this purpose, the individual branches can be highlighted in color and interpreted as a "conductive rubber band". \\
This results in:
{{elektrotechnik_1:schaltung_klws2020_2_1_1_loesung1.jpg?300}}
{{elektrotechnik_1:schaltung_klws2020_2_1_1_loesung2.jpg?250}}
Thus $R_3$ and $R_3$ can be combined to $R_{33} = 2 \cdot R_3 = R_1$, yielding a left and a right voltage divider. \\
Now it is visible that in the left and right voltage divider the same potential is at the respective branch, or at the node K1 (green) and K2 (pink).
Thus, the total resistance can be calculated as $R_{ges} = (2 \cdot R_1)||(2 \cdot R_1)$. \\
However, by symmetry, nodes K1 and K2 can also be short-circuited. Thus, $R_{ges} = 2 \cdot \left( R_1||R_1 \right)$ also holds.
\begin{align*}
R_{ges} &= 2 \cdot \left( 10 \Omega || 10 \Omega \right) = 10 \Omega
\end{align*}
\\
2. what is the total resistance when switch $S$ is closed?
Due to symmetry, the potentials at K1 and K2 are equal. Thus, no current flows across resistor $R_2$ even when the switch is closed. \\
So the resistance remains the same. \\ \\

For this purpose, the individual branches can be highlighted in color and interpreted as a "conductive rubber band". \\
It can be seen that the two resistors $R_3$ at the top left and bottom right are each shorted.
The result is thus:
{{elektrotechnik_1:schaltung_klws2020_2_2_1_loesung1.jpg?350}}
{{elektrotechnik_1:schaltung_klws2020_2_2_1_loesung2.jpg?300}}
Here it helps to consider the potential of the nodes K1, K2 and K3. For K2, the resistances $R_2 || R_3 || R_2$ must be combined at the top and bottom. Thus, the same resistance values at the top and bottom result. Also at the nodes K1 and K2 the same resistance values at the top and at the bottom result. With the same ratios of the resistances at K1, K2 and K3 respectively, it can be concluded that no current flows across the resistors $R_3$ between K1 and K2 or K2 and K3. Thus, these do not contribute to the total resistance. In such a case, a short circuit or an open line can be freely chosen between the relevant nodes for the calculation. In the following an open line is chosen. Additionally the parallel strings can be reordered. \\
This results in:

Given is a linear current source which supplies a resistive load $R_L=10\Omega$.
The current at the load is $I_L=2A$. The short-circuit current is $5 A$.
1. draw the equivalent circuit diagram of the structure.
* What does a linear current source look like?
* How is the load connected?
{{elektrotechnik_1:schaltung_klws2020_2_4_1.jpg?200}}
\\
2. what is the internal conductance of the source?
* In the short-circuit case, the short-circuit current flows through $R_L$ only.
* To simplify the calculation, it is convenient to convert the linear current source into a linear voltage source.
Converting the linear current source to a linear voltage source results in an open circuit voltage $U_{LL}=R_i \cdot I_{KS}$. \\
The conversion also converts the circuit from a parallel circuit to a series circuit. \\
Thus, the voltage $U_{LL}$ is across the voltage divider of $R_i$ and $R_L$: $U_{LL} = U_i + U_L$ \\
With the load resistor $R_L$, there is a current of $I_L$ through the series circuit. \\
With the given $R_L$ and $I_L$, the voltage $U_L$ across the load can be calculated. \\
The remaining voltage $U_i$ is applied to the internal resistor $R_i$, through which the current $I_L$ also flows.
This results in the conductance $G_i$:
\begin{align*}
U_{LL} &= U_i + U_L \\
R_i \cdot I_{KS} &= R_i \cdot I_L + R_L \cdot I_L \
R_i \cdot I_{KS} - R_i \cdot I_L &= R_L \cdot I_L \
R_i \cdot (I_{KS} - I_L) &= R_L \cdot I_L \\
R_i &= R_L \cdot \frac{I_L}{I_{KS} - I_L} \\
G_i &= \frac{I_{KS} - I_L}{R_L \cdot I_L} \\
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
G_i &= \frac{5A - 2A}{10 \Omega \cdot 2A} = 0.15 S \.
\end{align*}
\\
3. what power does the load consume?
\begin{align*}
P = R_L \cdot I_L^2 = 10 \Omega \cdot (2A)^2 = 40 W \.
\end{align*}

Determine the open circuit voltage between A and B using the superposition principle.
* What are the individual circuits by which the effects (voltage between A and B) of each source can be calculated? \\ By which equivalent resistance must a current or a voltage source be replaced in the calculation of the individual effects?
* Where are the open-circuit voltages located when considering the individual effects?
First, the individual circuits must be created, from which the effect of the individual sources between points A and B can be determined.
\\ \\
**(Voltage)Source $U_1$**
* Replace current source $I_2$ with short circuit
* Replace voltage source $U_3$ with open circuit
{{elektrotechnik_1:schaltung_klws2020_2_3_1_q1.jpg?400}}
If the components are moved, the circuit can be better understood:
{{elektrotechnik_1:schaltung_klws2020_2_3_1_q1_1.jpg?300}}
It can be seen that in the no-load case there is no current flowing through any resistor. The following therefore applies to the effect: $U_{AB,1} = U_1$
**(Current)Source $I_2$**
* Replace voltage source $U_1$ with open line
* Replace voltage source $U_3$ with open line
{{elektrotechnik_1:schaltung_klws2020_2_3_1_q2.jpg?400}}
Again, components can be moved to better understand the circuit:
{{elektrotechnik_1:schaltung_klws2020_2_3_1_q2_1.jpg?300}}
Here the current source $I_2$ generates the voltage $U_{AB_2}$ at the resistor $R_2$: $U_{AB,2} = - R_1 \cdot I_2$
**(Voltage) source $U_3$**
* Replace voltage source $U_1$ with open circuit
* Replace current source $I_2$ with short circuit
{{elektrotechnik_1:schaltung_klws2020_2_3_1_q3.jpg?400}}
Also here the circuit becomes more understandable by moving the components:
{{elektrotechnik_1:schaltung_klws2020_2_3_1_q3_1.jpg?300}}
In this circuit, an unloaded voltage divider results across $R_3$ and $R_4$ in the no-load case. No current flows across resistor $R_1$ during no-load operation. \\
It results in:
\begin{align*}
U_{AB,3} = \frac{R_4}{R_3 + R_4} \cdot U_3
\end{align*}
\\ \\
**Resultant stress**
\begin{align*}
U_{AB} &= U_1 - R_1 \cdot I_2 + \frac{R_4}{R_3 + R_4} \cdot U_3 \\
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
U_{AB} &= 2 V - 5 \Omega \cdot 1 A + \frac{10 \Omega}{20 \Omega + 10 \Omega} \cdot 8 V = 0.333... V -> 0.3 V \

Let the coordinate system be such that the origin is in $Q_0$ with the x-axis in the direction of Q_3 and the y-axis correspondingly perpendicular to it. \\
For coordinate decomposition, the angles $alpha_{0n}$ of the forces to the x-axis are necessary. \\
These result in the chosen coordinate system from the coordinates of the charges: $\alpha_{0n} = atan(\frac{\delta y}{\delta x})$ \
$\alpha_{01} = atan(\frac{3}{1})= 1.249 = 71.6°$ \\
$\alpha_{02} = atan(\frac{4}{3})= 0.927 = 53.1°$\

F_{x,0} &= -2.18 N \\ \
F_{y,0} &= F_{x,01} + F_{x,02} + F_{x,03} && | \quad \text{with } F_{y,0n} = F_{0n} \cdot cos(\alpha_{0n}) \.
F_{y,0} &= (-5N) \cdot cos(71,6°) + (-6N) \cdot cos(53,1°) + (+3N) \cdot cos(0°) \
F_{y,0} &= -9.54 N \\ \

* What is the field in a room completely surrounded by a conducting conductor?
* How does the field behave inside a conductor?
* Does the field strength increase or decrease as one charge moves away from another charge?
* Is the field at at a peak higher or lower?
- At $b$ and $d$, no field is measurable because the surrounded conductor is at a constant field. It results in no potential difference and therefore no field.
- At $c$ a field (magnitude >0) is measurable, which points from the charge ($+1C$) to the elongated conductor ($-2C$). Due to the tip there is an excess charge and thus a higher field.
- At $a$ a field (magnitude >0) is measurable, which points from the charge ($+1C$) to the elongated conductor ($-2C$).

Determine the capacitance $C$ for the plate capacitor drawn on the right with the following data:
* rectangular electrodes with edge lengths of $6 cm$ and $8 cm$.
* distance between the plates: $2 mm$
* dielectric A:
* $\varepsilon_{r,A} = 1 (air)$

* What circuit can be used to replace a layered structure with different dielectrics?
The total capacitance $C$ can be divided into a partial capacitance $C_A$ and a $C_B$. These are connected in series. \\
This results in: $C = \frac{C_A \cdot C_B}{C_A + C_B}$ \\ \\
The partial capacity $C_A$ can be calculated by
\begin{align*}
C_A &= \varepsilon_{0} \varepsilon_{r,A} \cdot \frac{A}{d_A} && | \text{with } A = 3 cm \cdot 5cm = 6 \cdot 10^{-2} \cdot 8 \cdot 10^{-2} m^2 = 48 \cdot 10^{-4} m^2\\.

1. determine the time constant $\tau$ for this charging process.
* What equivalent circuit results from the switch position?
* By what quantities can $\tau$ be determined?
* Through what does the charging current flow?
This results in a series connection of $R_1$, $R_2$ and $C$, which is fed by $U$.
Thus the time constant $\tau$ becomes:
\begin{align*}
\tau &= (R_1 + R_2) \cdot C \.
\tau &= 180 \Omega \cdot 40 nF

It holds:
\begin{align*}
U_C(t) = U \cdot (1 - e^{-t/\tau}) \.
U_C(t) = 10 V \cdot (1 - e^{-10 µs/7,2 µs})

U_C(t) = 7.506 V -> 7.5 V

\begin{align*}
W_C &= \frac{1}{2}CU^2 \

\begin{align*}
W_C = 2 µJ

\\
Determine the new time constant that is effective when switch S1 is opened and S2 is closed at the same time after complete charging.
Here, the capacitor $C$ discharges through the resistors $R_2$ and $R_3$ connected in series.
\begin{align*}
\tau &= (R_2 + R_3) \cdot C \.
\tau &= 130 \Omega \cdot 40 nF
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
\tau = 5.2 µs
\end{align*}
\\
After the capacitor has been completely discharged, all switches are opened again.
Switch S4 is closed for $t = 1μs$. \\
What is the voltage across C?
* The current source results in a continuous flow of charges into the capacitor.
* The resistances along the way are irrelevant to the current into the capacitor. They only increase the voltage necessary to drive the current in an ideal current source.
The voltage $U_C$ is generally given by: $U_C = \frac{Q}{C}$. In this case, the constant current I generates the charge $Q = \int I dt = I \cdot t$
\begin{align*}
U_C(t) &= \frac{Q}{C} \\
U_C(t) &= \frac{I \cdot t}{C} \\
U_C(1μs) &= \frac{4mA \cdot 1μs}{40nF} = \frac{4 \cdot 10^{-3}A \cdot 1\cdot 10^{-6}s}{40\cdot 10^{-9}F} \\

From everyday life it is known that there are different charges and effects of charge. In , the charge of a person is seen by charge separation between the sole of the foot and the floor. The movement of the foot creates a negative excess charge in the person, which is gradually distributed throughout the body. If a pointed part of the body (e.g. finger) is brought into the vicinity of a charge reservoir without excess charges, a current can flow even through the air.
In the first chapter we had already considered the charge as the central quantity of electricity and understood it as a multiple of the elementary charge. The mutual force action ([[Fundamentals_and_basic_concepts#coulomb-force|the Coulomb-force]]) was already derived there. This is to be explained now more near.
First, however, a differentiation of various terms:
- **{wpde>electricity}}** describes as an umbrella term all phenomena of moving and resting charges. \\ \\
- **{wpde>Electrostaticity}}** describes the phenomena of charges at rest and thus of electric fields which do not change in time. Thus, there is no time dependence of the electrical quantities. \ Mathematically, ${{df}\over{dt}}=0$ holds for any function of the electric quantities. \\ \\
- **{wpde>Electrodynamics}}** describes the phenomena of moving charges. Thus electrodynamics includes both electric fields that change with time and magnetic fields. As a justification for the latter, it shall suffice here at first that magnetic fields are based on a current or on a charge movement. \\ Mathematically here is no longer valid for every function of the electric quantities necessarily that the derivative is equal to zero. \\ Electrodynamics is not considered in this chapter and is introduced step by step in the following chapters and in [[:Electrical engineering 2:start]].
At this chapter, only electrostatics are considered. The magnetic fields are therefore excluded here for the time being.

Take a charge ($+1nC$) and position it. \ Measure the field across a sample charge (a sensor).
The simulation in was already briefly considered in the first chapter. Here, however, another point is to be dealt with.
In the simulation, please position a negative charge $Q$ in the middle and deactivate electric field. The latter is done via the hook on the right. Now the situation is close to reality, because a charge shows no effect at first sight.
For impact analysis, a sample charge $q$ is placed in the vicinity of the existing charge $Q$ (in the simulation, the sample charge is called "sensors"). It is observed that the charge $Q$ causes a force on the sample charge. This force can be determined at any point in space with magnitude and direction. It acts in space in a similar way to gravity. The description of the state in space changed by the charge $Q$ is described with the help of a field.
The concept of the field shall now be briefly considered in a little more detail.
- The introduction of the field separates the cause from the effect.
- The charge $Q$ causes the field in space.
- The charge $q$ in space feels a force as an effect of the field.
- This distinction becomes important again in this chapter. \\ Also in electrodynamics this distinction becomes clear: the field there corresponds to photons, i.e. to a transmission of effects with the finite (light)speed $c$.
- As with physical quantities, there are different-dimensional fields:
- In a **scalar field**, a single number is assigned to each point in space. \\ E.g.
- temperature field $T(\vec{x})$ on the weather map or in an object
- pressure field $p(\vec{x})$
- In a **vector field**, each point in space is assigned several numbers in the form of a vector. This reflects the action along the spatial coordinates. \\ For example.
- gravitational field $\vec{g}(\vec{x})$ pointing to the center of mass of the object.
- electric field $\vec{E}(\vec{x})$
- magnetic field $\vec{H}(\vec{x})$
- If each point in space is associated with a two- or more-dimensional physical quantity - that is, a tensor - then this field is called a tensor field. Tensor fields are relevant in mechanics (e.g., stress tensor) but are not necessary for electrical engineering.
Vector fields can be stated as:
- Effects along spatial axes $x$,$y$ and $z$ (Cartesian coordinate system).
- Effect in magnitude and direction vector (polar coordinate system)

- Fields describe a physical state of space.
- Here, a physical quantity is assigned to each point in space.
- The electrostatic field is described by a vector field.
==== The electric field ====
Thus, to determine the electric field, a measure of the strength of the field is now needed. From the first chapter the Coulomb-force between two charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ is known:
\begin{align*}
F_C = {{1} \over {4\pi\cdot\varepsilon}} \cdot {{Q_1 \cdot Q_2}} \over {r^2}}
\end{align*}
In order to obtain a measure of the strength of the electric field, the force on a (fictitious) sample charge $q$ is now considered.
\begin{align*}
F_C &= {{1} \over {4\pi\cdot\varepsilon}} \cdot {{Q_1 \cdot q} \over {r^2}} \\
&= \anderbrace{{1} \over {4\pi\cdot\varepsilon}} \cdot {{Q_1} \over {r^2}}_\text{=independent of q} \cdot q \\
\end{align*}
The left part is therefore a measure of the strength of the field, i.e. independent of the size of the sample charge $q$. The strength of the electric field is thus given by
$E = {{1} \over {4\pi\cdot\varepsilon}} \cdot {{Q_1} \over {r^2}} \quad$ with $[E]={{[F]}\over{[q]}}=1 {{N}\over{As}}=1 {{N\cdot m}\over{As \cdot m}} = 1 {{V \cdot A \cdot s}\over{As \cdot m}} = 1 {{V}\over{m}}$
The result is therefore
\begin{align*}
\boxed{F_C = E \cdot q}
\end{align*}
- The **p**rocharge $q$ is always considered to be **p**positive. It is used only as a thought experiment and has no repercussion on the sampled charge $Q$.
- The sampled charge is a point charge.
A charge $Q$ generates at a measuring point $P$ an electric field strength $\vec{E(Q)}$, which is given by
- the magnitude $|E|=\Bigl| {{1} \over {4\pi\cdot\varepsilon}} \cdot {{Q_1} \over {r^2}} \Bigl| $ and
- the direction of the force $\vec{F_C}$ on a sample charge at rest at the measurement point $P$. This is given by the unit vector $\vec{e_r}={{\vec{F_C}}\over{|F_C|}$ in that direction.
The direction of the electric field is switchable in via the "Electric Field" option on the right. \\
The electric field can also be viewed again in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k77nro5mAo|this video]].

Electric field lines result as the (fictitious) path of a sample charge. Thus also electric field lines of several charges can be determined. However, these also result from a superposition of the individual effects - i.e. field strengths - at a measuring point $P$.
The superposition is sketched in and can be viewed again in the simulation in . In addition, this is described again in more detail in the video on the right.
- The electrostatic field is a source field. This means there are sources and sinks. \\ This is equal to: The electric field lines have a beginning (at a positive charge) and an end (at a negative charge).
- From the field line diagrams, the following can be obtained:
- Direction of the field ($\hat{=}$ tangent to the field line).
- Magnitude of the field ($\hat{=}$ number of field lines per unit area).
- The magnitude of the field strength along a field line is usually __not__ constant.

===== 5.2 Electric charge and Coulomb force (reloaded) =====
=== Goals ===
After this lesson, you should:
- Be able to determine the direction of the forces using given charges.
- be able to represent the acting force vectors in a sketch.
- be able to determine a force vector by superimposing several force vectors using vector calculus.
- be able to state the following quantities for a force vector:
- Force vector in coordinate representation
- magnitude of the force vector
- Angle of the force vector
The [[Fundamentals_and_basic_concepts#coulomb-force|electric charge and Coulomb force]] has already been described in chapter 1. However, some points are to be caught up here to it.
==== Direction of the Coulomb force and superposition ====
.
{{drawio>DirectionOfCoulombforce}} \\
In the case of the force, the direction has been considered so far, e.g. direction towards the sample charge, but for future explanations it is important to include the cause-effect in the naming. In (a) and (b) the convention is shown again: A force $\vec{_{21}}$ acts on charge $Q_2$ and is caused by charge $Q_1$. As a mnemonic you can remember "tip-foot" (first the effect, then the cause).
Furthermore, several forces on a charge can be superimposed to a resulting force. Strictly speaking, it must hold that $\varepsilon$ is constant in the structure. For example, the resultant force in Fig. (c) on $Q_3$ becomes equal to: $\vec{F_3}= \vec{F_{31}}+\vec{F_{32}}$.
~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~CLEARFIX~~
==== Geometric Distribution of Charges ====
In previous chapters only single charges (e.g. $Q_1$, $Q_2$) were considered.
* The charge $Q$ was previously reduced to a **point charge**. \ {{youtube>9fVEpwtrKhQ}} \ This can be used, for example, for the elementary charge or for extended charged objects from a large distance. The distance is sufficiently large if the ratio between the largest object extent and the distance to the measurement point $P$ is small.
* If the charges are lined up along a line, this is called a **line charge**. \ Examples of this are a straight trace on a circuit board or a piece of wire. Furthermore, this also applies to an extended charged object, which has exactly an extension that is no longer small in relation to the distance. For this purpose, the charge $Q$ is considered to be distributed over the line. Thus, a (line) charge density $\rho_l$ can be determined: $\rho_l = {{Q}\over{l}}$ or, in the case of different charge densities on subsections: $\rho_l = {{\Delta Q}\over{\Delta l}} \rightarrow \rho_l(l)={{d}\over{dl}} Q(l)$
* A **area charge** is spoken of when the charge is to be regarded as distributed over an area. \ Examples of this are the floor or a plate of a capacitor. Again, an extended charged object can be considered if there are two extensions which are no longer small in relation to the distance (e.g. surface of the earth). Again, a (surface) charge density $\rho_A$ can be determined: $\rho_A = {{Q}\over{A}}$ or if there are different charge densities on partial surfaces: $\rho_A = {{\Delta Q}\over{\Delta A}} \rightarrow \rho_A(A) ={{d}\over{dA}} Q(A)={{d}\over{dx}}{{d}\over{dy}} Q(A)$
* Finally, a **space charge** is the term for charges that span a volume. \here examples are plasmas or charges in extended objects (e.g. in semiconductor). as with the other charge distributions, a (space) charge density $\rho_V$ can be calculated here: $\rho_V = {{Q}\over{V}}$ or for different charge density in partial volumes: $\rho_V = {{\Delta Q}\over{\Delta V}} \rightarrow \rho_V(V) ={{d}\over{dV}} Q(V)={{d}\over{dx}}{{d}\over{dy}}{{d}\over{dz}} Q(V)$
==== Types of fields depending on the charge distribution ====
There are two different types of fields:
In **homogeneous fields**, magnitude and direction are constant throughout the field range. This field form is idealized to exist within plate capacitors. e.g., in the plate capacitor (), or in the vicinity of widely extended bodies.
For **inhomogeneous fields**, the magnitude and/or direction of the field strength changes from place to place. This is the rule in real systems, even the field of a point charge is inhomogeneous ().

==== Energy required to displace a charge in the field ====
{{drawio>WorkInHomField}}
First, the situation of a charge in a homogeneous electric field shall be considered. As we have seen so far, the magnitude of E is constant and the field lines are parallel. Now a positive charge $q$ is to be brought into this field.
If this charge would be free movable (e.g. electron in vacuum or in extended conductor) it would be accelerated along field lines. Thus its kinetic energy increases. Because the whole system of plates (for field generation) and charge however does not change its energetic state - thermodynamically the system is closed. From this follows: if the kinetic energy increases, the potential energy must decrease.
From mechanics is known, here done work (thus energy done by forces) is defined by force along a way. \\
In a homogeneous field, the following holds for a force action producing motion along a field line from $A$ to $B$ (see ):
\begin{align*}
W_{AB} = F_C \cdot s
\end{align*}
For a motion parallel to a field line (i.e. from $A$ to $C$) $W_{AB}=0$ results. This situation is similar to the movement of a weight in the gravitational field at the same height. There, too, no energy is released or absorbed.
For any direction through the field the part of the path has to be considered, which is parallel to the field lines. This results from the angle $\alpha$ between $\vec{F}$ and $\vec{s}$:
\begin{align*}
W_{AB} = F_C \cdot s \cdot cos(\alpha) = \vec{F_C}\cdot \vec{s}
\end{align*}
The work $W_{AB}$ here describes the energy difference experienced by the charge $q$. \\
Similar to the electric field, we now look for a quantity that is independent of the (sample) charge $q$ in order to describe the energy component. This is done by the **potential** $\varphi$ (also potential). The potential in a homogeneous field is defined as:
\begin{align}}
\varphi_{AB} = {{W_{AB}}\over{q}} = {{F_C \cdot s}\over{q}} = {{E \cdot q \cdot s}\over{q}} = E \cdot s_{AB}
\end{align}}
The potential $\varphi$ in an $E$-field is the ability to do work $W$.
To obtain a general approach to __in__homogeneous fields and arbitrary paths $s_{AB}$, it helps (as is so often the case) to decompose the problem into small parts. In the concrete case, these are small path segments on which the field can be assumed to be homogeneous. These are to be assumed to be infinitesimally small in the extreme case (i.e., from $s$ to $\delta s$ to $ds$):
\begin{align}
W_{AB} = \vec{F_C}\cdot \vec{s} \quad \rightarrow \quad \Delta W = \vec{F_C}\cdot \Delta \vec{s}\quad \rightarrow \quad dW = \vec{F_C}\cdot d \vec{s}
\end{align}
The total energy now results from the sum or integration of these path sections:
\begin{align*}
W_{AB} &= \int_{W_A}^{W_B} dW \
&= \int_{A}^{B} \vec{F_C}\cdot d \vec{s} \\
&= \int_{A}^{B} q \cdot \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{s} \\
&= q \cdot \int_{A}^{B} \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{s}
\end{align*}
The potential is therewith:
\begin{align}
\varphi_{AB} &= {{W_{AB}}\over{q}}
&= \int_{A}^{B} \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{s}
\end{align*}
The potential difference $\varphi_{AB}$ is also called voltage $U_{AB}$. The voltage is measured in volts.
It is interesting that it does not matter which way the integration takes place. So it doesn't matter how the charge gets from $A$ to $B$, the energy or potential difference is always the same. This follows from the fact that a charge $q$ at a point $A$ in the field has a unique potential energy. No matter how this charge is moved to a point $B$ and back again: as soon as it gets back to the point $A$, it has the same energy again. So the potential difference of the way there and back must be equal in magnitude.
This concept has already been applied as a mesh theorem in circuits (see [[simple_dc-circuits#the_mesh_theorem_2_kirchhoff_equation|chapter 2]]). However, it is also valid in other structures and arbitrary electrostatic fields.
The equation $\varphi_{AB} = \int_{A}^{B} \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{s}$ can be used and applied depending on the geometry present.
As an example, consider the situation of a charge moving from one electrode to another inside a capacitor:
\begin{align}
\varphi_{AB} &= \int_{A}^{B} \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{s} \quad && | \vec{E} \text{ and } d\vec{s} \text{ run parallel } \\
\varphi_{AB} &= \int_{A}^{B} E \cdot ds \quad && | \text{E=const.} \\
\varphi &= E \cdot \int_{0}^{d} ds \quad && | s \text{ starts counting at the negative disk. } d \text{ denotes the distance between the two plates }\
\varphi &= E \cdot d \quad && | \varphi_{AB} \text{ corresponds to the voltage applied to the capacitor } U \
U &= E \cdot d
\end{align*}
Returning to the starting point from any point $A$ after a closed circuit, the __circuit stress__ along the closed path is 0.
A closed path is mathematically expressed as a ring integral:
\begin{align}
\varphi = \oint \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{s} = 0
\end{align}
Or spoken differently: In the electrostatic field there are no self-contained field lines.
A field $\vec{X}$ which satisfies the condition $\oint \vec{X} \cdot d \vec{s}=0$ is called __vortex-free__ or __potential field__.
From the potential difference, or the voltage, the work in the electrostatic field results with:
\begin{align}}
\boxed{W_{AB}= q \cdot U_{AB}}
\end{align*}
==== Equipotential lines ====
{{electrotechnics_1:elevationlinesonthelandmap.jpg?400}}
If a charge $q$ becomes perpendicular to the field lines, it experiences neither energy gain nor loss. The voltage along this path is $0V$. All points between which the voltage of $0V$ is applied are at the same potential level. The connection of these points is called:
* equipotential lines for a 2-dimensional representation of the field.
* equipotential surfaces for a 3-dimensional field
This corresponds in the gravity field to a movement on the same contour line. The contour lines are often drawn in (hiking) maps, cf. . If one moves along the contour lines, no work is done.
The equipotential surfaces are usually drawn with a fixed step size, e.g. $1V$, $2V$, $3V$, ... . Since the electric field is higher near charges, equipotential surfaces are also closer together there.
In , the equipotential surfaces of a point charge are shown.

=====5.4 Conductors in the electrostatic field =====
=== Goals ===
After this lesson, you should:
- know that no current flows in a conductor in an electrostatic field.
- know how charges in a conductor are distributed in the electrostatic field.
- Be able to sketch the field lines at the surface of the conductor.
- Understand the effect of the influence of an external electric field.
Up to now, charges were considered which were either rigid or freely movable. At the following, charges at an electric conductor are to look at. These are only free movable within the conductor. At first an ideal conductor without resistance is considered.
==== Stationary state of charges without external field ====
{{drawio>LoadedMetalBall}}
In the first thought experiment, a conductor (e.g. a metal plate) is charged, see . The additional charges create an electric field. Thus, a resultant force acts on each charge. The cause of this force is the fields of the surrounding electric charges. So the charges repel and move apart. \\
The movement of the charge continues until a force equilibrium is reached. In this steady state, there is no longer a resultant force acting on the single charge. In this can be seen on the right: the repulsive forces of the charges are counteracted by the attractive forces of the atomic shells. \\
Results:
* The charge carriers are distributed on the surface.
* Due to the dispersion of the charges, the interior of the conductor is free of fields.
* All field lines are perpendicular to the surface. Because: if they were not, there would be a tangential component of the field, i.e. along the surface. Thus a force would act on charge carriers and they would move accordingly.
==== Influenza ====
{{drawio>InfluenceAnMetalObject}}
In the second thought experiment, an uncharged conductor (e.g. a metal plate) is brought into an electrostatic field (). The external field or the resulting Coulomb force causes the moving charge carriers to be displaced. \\
Results:
* The charge carriers are still distributed on the surface.
* Now an equilibrium is reached, when just so many charges have moved, that the field strength inside the conductor disappears (again).
* The field lines leave the surface again at right angles. Again, a tangential component would cause a charge shift in the metal.
This effect of charge displacement in conductive objects by an electrostatic field is called **influence**. Influence charges can be separated ( right). If we look at the separated influence charges without the external field, their field is again just as strong in magnitude as the external field only opposite.
- The seat of an influenced charge is always the conductor surface. This results in a surface charge density $\varrho_A = {{\Delta Q}\over{\Delta A}}$
- The conductor surface in the electrostatic field is always an equipotential surface. Thus, the field lines always originate and terminate perpendicularly on conductor surfaces.
- The interior of the conductor is always field-free (Faraday effect: metallic enclosures shield electric fields).
How can the conductor surface be an equipotential surface despite different charge on both sides? Equipotential surfaces are defined only by the fact that the movement of a charge along such a surface does not require/produce a change in energy. Since the interior of the conductor is field free, movement there can occur without a change in energy. As the potential between two points is independent of the path between them, a path along the surface is also possible without energy expenditure.

=====5.5 The electric displacement flux and Gaussian theorem of electrostatics =====
The electric displacement (flux) density
{{youtube>UqzXWU6TsQY}}
=== Goals ===
After this lesson, you should:
- know how to get the electric displacement flux from single charges
- be able to state for a given area the displacement flux density of an arrangement
- know the general meaning of Gauss' theorem of electrostatics
- be able to choose a closed enveloping surface appropriately and apply Gauss' theorem
{{drawio>displacement flow}}
Now we want to consider the situation at the two conductive plates with the area $\Delta A$ in the electrostatic field $\vec{E}$ in vacuum a little more exactly. For this purpose, the plates shall first be brought into the field separately. As written in on the left, the influence in a single plate is not considered. Rather, we are now interested in what happens when the plates are brought together. In this case, graphically speaking, just for each field line ending on the pair of plates, a single charge must move from one plate to the other. This ability to separate charges (i.e. to generate influence) is another ability of space.
In the previous arrangement (homogeneous field, all surfaces parallel to each other), the surface charge density $\varrho_A = {{\Delta Q}\over{\Delta A}}$ thus influenced is proportional to the external field $E$. It holds:
\begin{align*}
\varrho_A = {{\Delta Q}\over{\Delta A}} \sim E \\
\varrho_A = {{\Delta Q}\over{\Delta A}} = \varepsilon \cdot E
\end{align*}
The **displacement (flux) density** is now defined as.
\begin{align}
\boxed{\vec{D} = \varepsilon \cdot \vec{E}}
\end{align}
The displacement (flux) density has the unit "charge per area", i.e. $As/m^2$. The displacement (flux) density is also a field. It points in the same direction as the electrostatic field $\vec{E}$.
Why is now a second field introduced? This shall become clearer in the following, but first it shall be considered again how the electrostatic field $\vec{E}$ was defined. This resulted from the Coulomb force, i.e. the __action on a sample charge__. The displacement density, on the other hand, is not described by an action, but __caused by charges__.
The two are related by the above equation.
It will be shown in later sub-chapters that the different influences from the same cause of the field can produce different effects on other charges.
The **permittivity** (or dielectric conductivity) $\varepsilon$ thus results as a constant of proportionality between $D$-field and $E$-field. The inverse ${{1}\over{\varepsilon}}$ is a measure of how much effect ($E$-field) is available from the cause ($D$-field) at a point. In vacuum, $\varepsilon= \varepsilon_0$, the electric field constant.
~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~CLEARFIX~~
==== General relationship between charge Q and displacement density D ====
Up to now, only a homogeneous field and an observation surface perpendicular to the field lines were considered. Thus only equipotential surfaces (e.g. a metal foil) were considered.
In that case it was found that the charge is equal to the displacement density on the surface: $\Delta Q = D\cdot \Delta A$.
This formula is now to be extended to arbitrary surfaces and inhomogeneous fields.
As with the potential and other physical problems, the problem is to be broken down into smaller subproblems, solved and then summed up. For this purpose a small area element $\Delta A = \Delta x \cdot \Delta y$ is needed. In addition, the position of the area in space should be taken into account. This is possible if the cross product is chosen: $\Delta \vec{A} = \Delta \vec{x} \cdot \Delta \vec{y}$, since so is the surface normal. In what follows, the cross product will be relevant to the calculation, but the consequences of the cross product will be:
* The magnitude of $\Delta \vec{A}$ is equal to the area $\Delta A$.
* The direction of $\Delta \vec{A}$ is perpendicular to the area.
In addition, let $\Delta A$ now become infinitesimally small, that is, $dA = dx \cdot dy$.
=== 1. problem: inhomogeneity → solution: shrink area ===
First, we shall still assume an observation surface perpendicular to the field lines, but an inhomogeneous field. In the inhomogeneous field, the magnitude of $D$ is no longer constant. In order to correct this, $dA$ is chosen so small that just "only one field line" passes through the surface. In this case D is homogeneous again. Thus holds:
$Q = D\cdot A$
\begin{align*}
Q = D\cdot A \quad \rightarrow \quad dQ = D\cdot dA
\end{align*}
=== 2nd problem: arbitrary surface → solution: vectors ===
Now assume an arbitrary surface. Thus the $\vec{D}$-field no longer penetrates through the surface at right angles. But for the influence only the rectangular part was relevant. So only this part has to be considered. This results from consideration of the cosine of the angle between (right-angled) surface normal and $\vec{D}$-field:
\begin{align*}
dQ = D\cdot dA \quad \rightarrow \quad dQ = D\cdot dA \cdot cos(\alpha) = \vec{D} \cdot d \vec{A}
\end{align*}
=== 3. summing up ===
Since so far only infinitesimally small surface pieces were considered must now be integrated again to a total surface. If a closed enveloping surface around a body is chosen, the result is:
\begin{align}
\boxed{\int dQ = \iint_{\text{hull}} \vec{D} \cdot d \vec{A} = Q}
\end{align}}
The "sum" of the $D$-field emanating over the surface is thus just as large as the sum of the charges contained therein, since the charges are just the sources of this field. This can be compared vividly with a bordered swamp area with water sources and sinks:
* The sources in the marsh correspond to the positive charges, the sinks to the negative charges. The formed water corresponds to the $D$-field.
* The sum of all sources and sinks equals in this case just the water stepping over the edge.
==== Applications ====
Are calculated in the course.
=== Spherical capacitor ===
Spherical capacitors are now rarely found in practical applications. In the {{wpde>Van-de-Graaff generator}}, spherical capacitors are used to store the high DC voltages. The earth also represents a spherical capacitor. In this context, the electric field strength of $100...300 V/m$ in the atmosphere is remarkable, since several hundred volts would have to be present between head and foot (for resolution, see the article [[https://www.wissenschaft.de/umwelt-natur/spannung-liegt-in-der-luft/|Spannung lieg in der Luft]] in Bild der Wissenschaft).
=== Plate capacitor ===
The relation between the $E$-field and the voltage $U$ on the ideal plate capacitor is to be derived from the integral of the displacement density $\vec{D}$:

Q = \iint_{\text{shell}} \vec{D} \cdot d \vec{A}
\end{align}}
The consideration of the displacement-flux-density also solved a problem, which arose quite for at electric circuits: From considerations about magnetic fields the following quite obvious sounding fact can be led: In a series-connected, switched circuit, the current at each point is the same. But if this series circuit contains a capacitor, no electric current can flow inside! The solution is to understand a temporal change of the displacement flux also as a current, which can be generated a magnetic field (thus vortex). Mathematically, vortices are described via the {{wpde>rotation of a vector field}} - a multidimensional differential operator. A deeper {{wpde>displacement_stream#derivation_of_a_contradiction|derivation and solution}} is not considered in the first semester. However, the application will show that the above equation plays a central role in electrical engineering. It is part of the so-called {{wpde>Maxwell equations}}.

After this lesson, you should:
- know the two field-describing quantities of the electrostatic field
- be able to describe and apply the relationship between these two quantities via the material law
- understand the effect of an electrostatic field on an insulator
- know what the effect of dielectric polarisation does

==== material-law-of-electrostatics ====
First of all, a thought experiment is to be carried out again (see ):
- First a charged plate capacitor in vacuum is assumed, which is separated from the voltage source after charging.
- Next, the intermediate region is to be filled with a material.
Think about how $E$ and $D$ would change before you unfold the subsection.\\
Why might which of the two quantities change?
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
--> The material law of electrostatics #
{{drawio>ExperimentDielectric2}}
You may have considered what happens to the charge $Q$ on the plates. This charge cannot leave the plates. So $Q = \iint_{\text{envelope}} \vec{D} \cdot d \vec{A}$ cannot change. \\
Since the sheath as a fictitious surface around an electrode does not change either, $\vec{D}$ cannot change either.
On the other hand, polarizable materials in the capacitor can align themselves. This dampens the effective field. Maybe you remember what the "acting field" was: the $E$-field. So the $E$-field becomes smaller (see ).
Previously:
\begin{align*}
D = \varepsilon_0 \cdot E
\end{align*}
The determined change is packed into the material constant $\varepsilon_r$. This gives the **material law of electrostatics**:
\begin{align*}
\boxed{D = \varepsilon_r \cdot \varepsilon_0 \cdot E}
\end{align*}
Since the charge $Q$ cannot vanish from the capacitor in this experimental setup and thus $D$ remains constant, the $E$ field must become smaller for $\varepsilon_r>1$.
is drawn here in a simplified way: the alignable molecules are evenly distributed over the material and are thus also evenly aligned. Accordingly, the E-field is uniformly attenuated.
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
- The material constant $\varepsilon_r$ is called relative permittivity, relative permittivity, or dielectric constant.
- Relative permittivity is unitless and indicates how much the electric field strength decreases with the presence of material for the same charge.
- The relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$ is always greater than or equal to 1 for dielectrics (i.e., nonconductors).
- The relative permittivity depends on the polarizability of the material, i.e. the possibility to align the molecules in the field. Correspondingly, relative permittivity depends on frequency and often direction and temperature.
If now the relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$ depends on the possibility to align the molecules in the field, the following interesting relation arises: if frequencies are "caught", at which the oscillation of the molecule can build up, the energy of the external field is absorbed by the molecule. This build-up is similar to the shattering of a wine glass at a suitable irradiated frequency and is called resonance. Materials can be analysed on the basis of the resonance frequencies. These resonance frequencies are enormously high (1 GHz to 1'000'000 GHz) and in these frequencies the $E$-field detaches from the conductor. This may sound strange, but it becomes a bit more illustrative in the 2nd semester with the resonant circuit. For the 1st semester it is more than sufficient that in the range of 1'000'000 GHz is the visual light, which is obviously not bound to a conductor. But this also makes clear that the relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$ for high frequencies also has to do with the absorption (and reflection) of electromagnetic waves.

* The dielectrics act as insulators. The flow of current is therefore prevented

Consider what would have happened if the plates had not been detached from the voltage source in the above thought experiment ().
=====5.7 Capacitors =====
=== Goals ===
After this lesson, you should:
- know what a capacitor is and how capacitance is defined
- know the basic equations for calculating a capacitor and be able to apply them
- be able to imagine a plate capacitor and know examples of its use You also have an idea of what a cylindrical or spherical capacitor looks like and what examples of its use there are
- know the characteristics of the E-field, D-field and electric potential in the three types of capacitors presented here
==== Capacity ====
* A capacitor is defined by the fact that there are two electrodes (= conductive areas), which are separated by a dielectric (= non-conductor).
* This makes it possible to build up an electric field in the capacitor without charge carriers moving through the dielectric.
* The characteristic of the capacitor is the capacity $C$.
* In addition to the capacitance, every capacitor also has a resistance and an inductance. However, both of these are usually very small.
* Examples are
* the electrical component "capacitor",
* an open switch,
* a wire to ground,
* a human being
$\rightarrow$ Thus, for any arrangement of two conductors separated by an insulating material, a capacitance can be specified.
The capacity $C$ can be derived as follows:
- It is known that $U = \int \vec{E} d \vec{s} = E \cdot l$ and hence $E= {{U}\over{l}}$ or $D= \varepsilon_0 \cdot \varepsilon_r \cdot {{U}\over{l}}$.
- Furthermore, $\iint_{\text{envelope}} \vec{D} \cdot d \vec{A} = Q$ by the idealized form of the plate capacitor: $Q=D \cdot A$.
- Thus, the charge $Q$ is given by: \begin{align*} Q = \varepsilon_0 \cdot \varepsilon_r \cdot {{U}\over{l}} \cdot A \end{align*}
- This means that $Q \sim U$, given the geometry (i.e., $A$ and $d$) and the dielectric ($\varepsilon_r $).
- So it is reasonable to determine a proportionality factor ${{Q}\over{U}}$.
The capacitance $C$ of an idealized plate capacitor is defined as
\begin{align}
\boxed{C = \varepsilon_0 \cdot \varepsilon_r \cdot {{A}\over{l}} = {{Q}\over{U}}
\end{align*}
This relationship can be examined in more detail in the following simulation:

{{drawio>DesignsCapacitors}}
In different designs of capacitors can be seen:
- **{wpde>variable_capacitor|rotary_capacitor}}** (also variable capacitor or trim capacitor).
- A variable capacitor consists of two sets of plates: a fixed set and a movable set (stator and rotor). These represent the two electrodes.
- The movable set can be rotated radially into the fixed set. This covers a certain area $A$.
- The size of the area is increased by the number of plates. Nevertheless, only small capacities are possible because of the necessary distance.
- Air is usually used as the dielectric, occasionally small plastic or ceramic plates are used to increase the dielectric constant.
- **{wpde>Ceramic capacitor#Multilayer ceramic chip capacitors_(MLCC)|multilayer capacitor}}**
- In the multilayer capacitor, there are again two electrodes. Here, too, the area $A$ (and thus the capacitance $C$) is multiplied by the finger-shaped interlocking.
- Ceramic is used here as the dielectric.
- The multilayer ceramic capacitor is also called KerKo or MLCC.
- The variant shown in (2) is an SMD variant (surface mound device).
- Disk capacitor
- A ceramic is also used as dielectric for the disk capacitor. This is positioned as a round disc between two electrodes.
- Disc capacitors are designed for higher voltages, but have a low capacitance (in the microfarad range).
- **{wpde>Electrolytic capacitor}}** (also called electrolytic capacitor)
- In electrolytic capacitors, the dielectric is an oxide layer formed on the metallic electrode. the second electrode is the liquid or solid electrolyte.
- Different metals can be used as the oxidized electrode, e.g. aluminium, tantalum or niobium.
- Because the oxide layer is very thin, a very high capacity results (depending on the size: up to a few millifarads).
- Important for the application is that it is a polarized capacitor. I.e. it may only be operated in one direction with DC voltage. Otherwise, a current can flow through the capacitor, which destroys it and is usually accompanied by an explosive expansion of the electrolyte. To avoid reverse polarity, the negative pole is marked with a dash.
- The electrolytic capacitor is built up wound and often has a cross-shaped predetermined breaking point at the top for gas leakage.
- **{wpde>Plastic film capacitor}}** (also called Folko).
- A material similar to a "chip bag" is used as an insulator: a plastic film with a thin, metallized layer.
- The construction shows a high pulse load capacity and low internal ohmic losses.
- In the event of electrical breakdown, the foil enables "self-healing": the metal coating evaporates locally around the breakdown. Thus the short-circuit is cancelled again
- With some manufacturers this type is called MKS (__M__metallized foil__c__capacitor, Polye__s__ter).
- **{wpde>Supercapacitor}}** (engl. Super-Caps)
- As a dielectric is - similar to the electrolytic capacitor - very thin. In the actual sense, there is no dielectric at all.
- The charges are not only stored in the electrode, but - similar to a battery - the charges are transferred into the electrolyte. Due to the polarization of the charges, they surround themselves with a thin (atomic) electrolyte layer. The charges then accumulate at the other electrode.
- Supercapacitors can achieve very large capacitance values (up to the kilofarad range), but only have a low maximum voltage

- There are polarized capacitors. With these, the installation direction and current flow must be observed, as otherwise an explosion can occur.
- Depending on the application - and the required size, dielectric strength and capacitance - different types of capacitors are used.
- The calculation of the capacitance is usually __not__ via $C = \varepsilon_0 \cdot \varepsilon_r \cdot {{A}\over{l}} $ . The capacitance value is given.
- The capacitance value often varies by more than $\pm 10\%$. I.e. a calculation accurate to several decimal places is rarely necessary/possible.
- The charge current seems to be able to flow through the capacitor because the charges added to one side induce correspondingly opposite charges on the other side.

If capacitors are connected in series, the charging current $I$ into the individual capacitors $C_1 ... C_n$ is equal.
Thus, the charges absorbed $\delta Q$ are also equal:
\begin{align*}
\Delta Q = \Delta Q_1 = \Delta Q_2 = ... = \Delta Q_n
\end{align*}
Furthermore, after charging, a voltage is formed across the series circuit which corresponds to the source voltage $U_q$. This results from the addition of the partial voltages across the individual capacitors.
\begin{align*}
U_q = U_1 + U_2 + ... + U_n = \sum_{k=1}^n U_k
\end{align*}
It holds for the voltage $U_k = \Large{{Q_k}\over{C_k}}$. \\
If all capacitors are initially discharged, then $U_k = \Large{{\Delta Q}\over{C_k}}$ holds.
Thus
\begin{align*}
U_q &= &U_1 &+ &U_2 &+ &... &+ &U_n &= \sum_{k=1}^n U_k \.
U_q &= &{\Delta Q}\over{C_1}} &+ &{{{Delta Q}\over{C_2}} &+ &... &+ &{\Delta Q}\over{C_3}} &= \sum_{k=1}^n {{1}\over{C_k}}\cdot \Delta Q \\
{{1}\over{C_{ges}}\cdot \Delta Q &= &&&&&&&&\sum_{k=1}^n {{1}\over{C_k}}\cdot \Delta Q
\end{align*}
Thus, for the series connection of capacitors $C_1 ... C_n$ :
\begin{align*}
\boxed{ {{1}\over{C_{ges}} = \sum_{k=1}^n {{1}\over{C_k}} }
\end{align*}
\begin{align}}
\boxed{ \Delta Q_k = const.}
\end{align*}
For initially uncharged capacitors, (voltage divider for capacitors) holds:
\begin{align*}
\boxed{Q = Q_k}
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
\boxed{U_{ges} \cdot C_{ges} = U_{k} \cdot C_{k} }
\end{align}
In the simulation on the right, besides the parallel connected capacitors $C_1$, $C_2$,$C_3$, an ideal voltage source $U_q$, a resistor $R$, a switch $S$ and a lamp are installed.
* The switch $S$ allows the voltage source to charge the capacitors.
* The resistor $R$ is necessary because the simulation cannot represent instantaneous charging. The resistor limits the charging current to a maximum value. \\ Further details about the resistor are described in the chapter [[Switching operations on RC combinations]].
* The capacitors can be discharged again via the lamp.

If capacitors are connected in parallel, the voltage $U$ across the individual capacitors $C_1 ... C_n$ is equal.
It is therefore valid:
\begin{align*}
U_q = U_1 = U_2 = ... = U_n
\end{align*}
Furthermore, during charging, the total charge $\Delta Q$ from the source is distributed to the individual capacitors.
This gives the following for the individual charges absorbed:
\begin{align*}
\Delta Q = \Delta Q_1 + \Delta Q_2 + ... + \Delta Q_n = \sum_{k=1}^n \Delta Q_k
\end{align*}
If all capacitors are initially discharged, then $Q_k = \delta Q_k = C_k \cdot U$ \.
Thus
\begin{align*}
\Delta Q &= & Q_1 &+ & Q_2 &+ &... &+ & Q_n &= \sum_{k=1}^n Q_k \.
\Delta Q &= &C_1 \cdot U &+ &C_2 \cdot U &+ &... &+ &C_n \cdot U &= \sum_{k=1}^n C_k \cdot U \
C_{ges} \cdot U &= &&&&&&&& \sum_{k=1}^n C_k \cdot U \

Thus, for the parallel connection of capacitors $C_1 ... C_n$ :
\begin{align*}
\boxed{ C_{ges} = \sum_{k=1}^n C_k }
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
\boxed{ U_k = const}

=====5.9 Interfaces of dielectrics =====
=== Goals ===
After this lesson, you should:
- be able to recognise a stratification of dielectrics and distinguish between a transverse stratification and a longitudinal stratification
- know which quantity remains constant in the case of transverse layering
- know the constant quantity for a longitudinal layering as well
- be familiar with the equivalent circuits for transverse and longitudinal layering
- be able to calculate the total capacitance of a capacitor with stratification
- know the law of refraction at interfaces for the field lines in the electrostatic field.
{{drawio>LayeringCapacitors}}
Up to now was assumed only one dielectricum resp. only vacuum within capacitor. Now is looked at more detailed, how multi-layered construction between sheets affects capacity. Thereby several dielectrics build boundary layers between each other. Different variants can be distinguished ():
- **transverse layering**: There are different dielectrics perpendicular to the field lines. \\ Thus, the boundary layers are parallel to the capacitor plates.
- **Longitudinal layering**: There are different dielectrics parallel to the field lines. \ So the boundary layers are perpendicular to the capacitor plates.
- **Elongitudinal Stratification**: The boundary layers are neither parallel nor perpendicular to the capacitor plates.
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
==== Cross-layering ====
{{drawio>cross-layeredcapacitor}}
First, the situation is considered that the boundary layers are parallel to the electrode surfaces. A voltage $U$ is applied to the structure from the outside. \\
The stratification is now parallel to equipotential surfaces. In particular, the boundary layers are then also equipotential surfaces. \\
The boundary layers can be replaced by an infinitesimally thin conductor layer (metal foil). The voltage $U$ can then be divided into several partial areas:
\begin{align*}
U = \int \limits_{total inside \range} \! \! \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{s} = E_1 \cdot d_1 + E_2 \cdot d_2 + E_3 \cdot d_3
\tag{5.9.1}
\end{align*}
Since there are only polarized charges in the dielectrics and no free charges, the $\vec{D}$ field is constant between the electrodes.
\begin{align*}
Q = \iint_{A} \vec{D} \cdot d \vec{A} = const.
\end{align}
Now, in the setup, the area $A$ of the boundary layers is also constant. Thus:
\begin{align}
\vec{D_1} \cdot \vec{A} & = & \vec{D_2} \cdot \vec{A} & = & \vec{D_3} \cdot \vec{A} & \quad \quad & | \vec{D_k} & \parallel \vec{A} \\
D_1 \cdot A & = & D_2 \cdot A & = & D_3 \cdot A & \quad \quad \quad & | \:\: A & = const. \\
D_1 & = & D_2 & = & D_3 & \quad \quad \quad & | D_k & = \varepsilon_{rk} \varepsilon_0 \cdot E_k \
\varepsilon_{r1} \varepsilon_0 \cdot E_1 &= &\varepsilon_{r2} \varepsilon_0 \cdot E_2 &= &\varepsilon_{r3} \varepsilon_0 \cdot E_3 \\
\end{align}
\begin{align}
\boxed{ \varepsilon_{r1} \cdot E_1 = \varepsilon_{r2} \cdot E_2 = \varepsilon_{r3} \cdot E_3 }
\tag{5.9.2}
\end{align*}
Using $(5.9.1)$ and $(5.9.2)$, we can also derive the following relationship:
\begin{align*}
E_2 = & {{\varepsilon_{r1}}\over{\varepsilon_{r2}}\cdot E_1 , \quad E_3 = {{\varepsilon_{r1}}\over{\varepsilon_{r3}}\cdot E_1 \.
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
U = & E_1 \cdot d_1 + & E_2 & \cdot d_2 + & E_3 & \cdot d_3 \.
U = & E_1 \cdot d_1 + & {{\varepsilon_{r1}}\over{\varepsilon_{r2}}\cdot E_1 & \cdot d_2 + & {{\varepsilon_{r1}}\over{\varepsilon_{r3}}\cdot E_1 & \cdot d_3 \
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
U = & E_1 \cdot (d_1 + {{\varepsilon_{r1}}\over{\varepsilon_{r2}} \cdot d_2 + {{\varepsilon_{r1}}\over{\varepsilon_{r3}}\cdot d_3 ) \\
E_1 = & {{U}\over{ d_1 + \large{{\varepsilon_{r1}}\over{\varepsilon_{r2}} \cdot d_2 + \large{{\varepsilon_{r1}}\over{\varepsilon_{r3}}\cdot d_3 }}
\end{align*}
\begin{align}}
\boxed{ E_1 = {{U}\over{ \sum_{k=1}^n \large{{\varepsilon_{r1}}\over{\varepsilon_{rk}} \cdot d_k}} } \quad \text{and} \; E_k = {{\varepsilon_{r1}}\over{\varepsilon_{rk}}\cdot E_1
\end{align}}
The situation can also be transferred to a coaxial structure of a cylindrical capacitor or concentric structure of spherical capacitors.
Cross-stratification results in:
- A cross-stratification can be considered as a series connection of partial capacitors with respective thicknesses $d_k$ and dielectric constant $\varepsilon_{rk}$.
- The flux density is constant in the capacitor
- Considering the fields __along the field line__ - that is, perpendicular to the interface, or the normal components $E_n$ and $D_n$ of the fields - the following holds:
- The normal component of the electric field strength $E_n$ changes abruptly at the interface.
- The normal component of the flux density $D_n$ is continuous at the interface: $D_{n1} = D_{n2}$
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
==== Longitudinal layering ====
{{drawio>longitudinal stratified capacitor}}
Now the boundary layers should be perpendicular to the electrode surfaces. Again a voltage $U$ is applied to the structure from the outside. \\
The stratification is now perpendicular to equipotential surfaces. However, the same voltage is applied to each dielectric. Thus it is valid:
\begin{align*}
U = \int \limits_{total inside \range} \! \! \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{s} = E_1 \cdot d = E_2 \cdot d = E_3 \cdot d
\end{align}
Since $d$ is the same for all dielectrics, $\large{ E_1 = E_2 = E_3 = {{U}\over{d}} }$
with the displacement flux density $D_k = \varepsilon_{rk} \varepsilon_{0} \cdot E_k$ results:
\begin{align*}
{ { D_1 } \over { \varepsilon_{r1} } } = { { D_2 } \over { \varepsilon_{r2} } } = { { D_3 } \over { \varepsilon_{r3} } } = { { D_k } \over { \varepsilon_{rk} } }
\end{align*}
Since the displacement flux density is just equal to the local surface charge density, the charge will no longer be uniformly distributed over the electrodes. \\
Where a stronger polarization is possible, the $E$-field is damped in the dielectric. For a constant $E$-field, more charges must accumulate there. \\
Concretely, more charges accumulate just around the dielectric constant $\varepsilon_{rk}$.
This situation can also be transferred to a coaxial structure of a cylindrical capacitor or concentric structure of spherical capacitors.
In the case of longitudinal stratification, the result is:
- A longitudinal stratification can be viewed as a parallel connection of partial capacitors with respective areas $A_k$ and dielectric constant $\varepsilon_{rk}$.
- The electric field strength in the capacitor is constant.
- Considering the fields __transverse to the field lines__ - that is, perpendicular to the interface, or the tangential components $E_t$ and $D_t$ of the fields - the following holds:
- The tangential components of the flux density $D_t$ changes abruptly at the interface.
- The tangential components of the electric field strength $E_t$ is continuous at the interface: $E_{t1} = E_{t2}$
~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~CLEARFIX~~
==== any stratification====
{{drawio>anylayeredcapacitor}}
With arbitrary stratification, simple observation is no longer possible. \\
However, some hints can be derived from the previous types of stratification:
* Electric field strength $\vec{E}$:
* The normal component $E_{n}$ is discontinuous at the interface: $\varepsilon_{r1} \cdot E_{n1} = \varepsilon_{r2} \cdot E_{n2}$
* The tangential component $E_{t}$ is continuous at the interface: $ E_{t1} = E_{t2}$
* Electric displacement flux density $\vec{D}$:
* The normal component $D_{n}$ is continuous at the interface: $ D_{n1} = D_{n2}$
* The tangent component $D_{t}$ is discontinuous at the interface: $ {{1}\over \Large{\varepsilon_{r1}}\cdot D_{t1} = {{1}\over \Large{\varepsilon_{r2}} \cdot D_{t1} $
Since $\vec{D} = \varepsilon_{0} \varepsilon_{r} \cdot \vec{E}$ the direction of the fields must be the same. \\
Using the fields, we can now derive the change in the angle:
\begin{align}
\boxed { { tan \alpha_1 } \over { tan \alpha_2 } } = { { \varepsilon_{r1} } \over { \varepsilon_{r2} } } }
\end{align*}
The formula obtained represents the law of refraction of the field line at interfaces. There is also a hint that for electromagnetic waves (like visible light) the refractive index might depend on the dielectric constant. In fact, this is the case. However, in the calculation presented here, electrostatic fields were assumed. In the case of electromagnetic waves, the distribution of energy between the two fields must be taken into account. This is not considered in detail in this course.

====== 6. The steady-state electric flow field ======
At electrostatic field in principle no charges in motion were considered. Now the motion of charges shall be considered explicitly.
The electric flow field here describes how charge carriers move together (collectively). The stationary flow field describes the charge carrier movement if a **direct voltage** is the cause of the movement. A constant direct current then flows in the stationary electric flow field. Thus there is no time dependence of the current:
$\large{{dI}{dt}}=0$
Also important is: Up to now was considered, charges did move through a field or could be moved in future. Now just the moment of the movement is considered.
===== 6.1 Current strength and flow field =====
=== Goals ===
After this lesson, you should:
- be able to sketch the flow field in a constricted and rectilinear conductor.
- Be able to determine the flow velocity of electrons.
- know the integral notation of the electric current.
{{drawio>charges_in_ladder}}
==== Current intensity and current density in the simple case ====
The current strength was previously understood as "charge per time" ($I={{dQ}\over{dt}}$). Microscopically, electric current is the directed motion of electric charge carriers. In the chapter [[basics_and_basic_concepts#charge_and_current|basics and basic_concepts]] we have already discussed the picture of the charge carrier current penetrating through a cross-sectional area $A$ (see ).
Furthermore, we had quite practically applied Ohm's law with $R = {{U}\over{I}}$ in DC. Now we know that from the electrostatic field the voltage can be derived from the electric field strength. But what about the current?
For this purpose, the packet $dQ$ of charges is considered, which will pass the area $A$ in the future in the period $dt$. These charges are located in a partial volume element $dV$, which is given by the area $A$ to be traversed and a partial section $dx$: $dV = A \cdot dx$. The amount of charges per volume is given by the charge carrier density, specifically for metals by the electron density $n_e$. The electron density $n_e$ gives the number of free electrons per unit volume a. For copper, for example, this is approximately $n_e(Cu)=8.47 \cdot 10^{19} {{1}\over{mm^3}}$.
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
.
{{drawio>ChargesInLadderVolume}} \\
The flowing charges contained in the partial volume element $dV$ are then (with elementary charge $e_0$):
\begin{align*}
dQ = n_e \cdot e_0 \cdot A \cdot dx
\end{align*}
The current is then given by $I={{dQ}\over{dt}}$:
\begin{align*}
dQ = n_e \cdot e_0 \cdot A \cdot {{dx}\cdot{dt}} = n_e \cdot e_0 \cdot A \cdot v_e
\end{align*}
This gives an electron velocity $v_e$ of:
\begin{align*}
v_e = {{dx}\cdot{dt}} = {{I}\over{n_e \cdot e_0 \cdot A }}
\end{align*}
In contrast to the considerations in electrostatics, the charge inertia now travels with finite velocities.
With regard to the electron velocity $v_e \sim {{I}\over{A}}$ it is obvious to determine a current density $S$ (related to the area):
\begin{align}}
\boxed{S = {{I}\over{A}}
\end{align*}
In some books, the letter $J$ is also used for current density.

==== Field lines and equipotential surfaces of the electric flow field ====
.
.
{{drawio>fieldlineelectricflowfield}} \\
As with the electrostatic field, a homogeneous field form and the inhomogeneous field form are to be contrasted:
- Homogeneous flow field \\ e.g. conductor with constant cross-section
- Field lines of the current run parallel
- equipotential surfaces
- are always perpendicular to each other, because the potential energy of a charge depends only on its position along the path
- are equidistant due to the constant electric field causing the current and the homogeneous geometry
- Current $I = S \cdot A$ is constant \$rightarrow$ charge carriers have the same velocity $v$
- Inhomogeneous current field \\fuse or taper in wire
- Field lines of the current are not parallel
- Current $I = S \cdot A$ must also be constant, because the charge does not disappear / is generated, but the area $A$ becomes smaller \$ $\rightarrow$ thus the current density $S$ and the velocity $v$ at the constriction must become larger
- Equipotential surfaces
- are again perpendicular to this.
- now show a compression at the constriction
But why is there a compression of the equipotential surfaces at the bottleneck? This means that there is a large potential difference, i.e. a large voltage. So this already sounds a little bit plausible. This will be looked at in more detail in a moment.
The current density was determined only for a constant cross-sectional area $A$, through which a homogeneous current, thus also a homogeneous flow field, passes at right angles. Now, however, a general approach for the electric current strength is to be found.
For this purpose, instead of a constant current density $S$ over a vertical, straight cross-sectional area $A$, a varying current density $S(A)$ over many small partial areas $dA$ is considered. Thus, if the subareas are sufficiently small, a constant current density over the subarea can again be obtained. It then becomes from
\begin{align*}
I = S \cdot A \rightarrow dI = S \cdot dA
\end{align*}
The total current over a larger area $A$ is thus given as:
\begin{align*}
I = \int dI = \iint_A S \cdot dA
\end{align*}
But what was not considered here: The chosen area $A$ does not necessarily have to be perpendicular to the current density $S$. To take this into account, the (partial) surface normal vector $d\vec{A}$ can be used. If only the part of the current density $\vec{S}$ is to be considered which acts in the direction of $d\vec{A}$, this can be determined via the scalar product:
\begin{align}
I = \int dI = \iint_A \vec{S} \cdot d\vec{A}
\end{align}
This represents the integral notation of the electric current strength. This can be used to determine the current strength in any field.
==== General Material Law ====
For a "pragmatic" derivation of the general material law for the current density, the compression of the equipotential surfaces at the constriction shall be discussed again. Between two equipotential surfaces there is a voltage difference $\Delta U$. If one chooses this sufficiently small, the transition of $\Delta U \rightarrow dU$ results again. However, the same current $I$ must always flow through the potential surfaces in the conductor. Ohm's law then gives the partial resistance $dR$ between the two equipotential surfaces:
\begin{align*}
dU = I \cdot dR \tag{6.1.1}
\end{align*}
The individual quantities are now to be considered for infinitesimally small parts.
For $I$ an equation about a density - the current density - was already found:
\begin{align}
I = S \cdot A \tag{6.1.2}
\end{align}
But also $R$ has already been expressed by a "density" - the resistivity $\varrho$: $ R = \varrho \cdot {{l}\over{A}}$
If a conductor made of the same material is considered, the resistivity $\varrho$ is the same everywhere. But if there is now a partial element $ds$ along the conductor, where the cross-section $A$ is smaller, the resistance $dR$ of this partial element also changes. The partial resistance is then:
\begin{align*}
dR = \varrho \cdot {{ds}\over{A}} \tag{6.1.3}
\end{align}
**In concrete terms, this means for the bottleneck: The resistance increases at the bottleneck. Thus the voltage drop also increases there. Thus there are also more equipotential surfaces there. **
The enrichment of the equipotential surfaces would be solved with it. Interestingly, however, with the thought model now also for a __homogeneous body__ the general material law can be explained.
To do this, one inserts equation $(6.1.2)$ and $(6.1.3)$ into $(6.1.)$.
Then it follows:
\begin{align*}
dU = I \cdot dR = S \cdot A \cdot \varrho \cdot {{ds}\over{{A}} = \varrho \cdot S \cdot ds \
\end{align*}
If now the electric field strength is inserted as $E={{dU}\over{ds}}$, one obtains:
\begin{align}}
E = {{dU}\over{ds}} = \varrho \cdot S
\end{align*}
With a more detailed (and mathematically correct) derivation you get:
\begin{align}
\boxed{\vec{E} = \varrho \cdot \vec{S} }
\end{align}
This equation expresses how the electric field $\vec{E}$ and the (steady-state) electric flow field $\vec{S}$ are related: both point in the same direction. For a given electric field $\vec{E}$ in a homogeneous conductor, the smaller the resistivity $\varrho$, the larger the flow field $\vec{S}$.

Every electrical circuit consists of three elements:
- **Consumers**: Consumers convert electrical energy into energy that is not purely electrical. \\ e.g.
- into electrostatic energy (capacitor)
- into magnetostatic energy (magnet)
- into electromagnetic energy (LED, light bulb)
- into mechanical energy (loudspeaker, motor)
- into chemical energy (charging an accumulator)
- **Generators (sources)**: Generators convert energy from another form of energy into electrical energy. (e.g. generator, battery, photovoltaic)
- **Connections** (or power grid): the interconnections link consumers to sources.
These elements will be considered in more detail below.
==== Consumer ====
{{drawio>ExamplesCurrentVoltageCurve}}
* The colloquial term consumer in electrical engineering stands for an electrical consumer - i.e. a component that converts electrical energy into another form of energy.
* A resistor is often also referred to as a consumer. In addition to pure ohmic consumers, however, there are also ohmic-inductive consumers (e.g. coils in a motor) or ohmic-capacitive consumers (e.g. various power supplies using capacitors at the output). Accordingly, the equation of resistor and load is incorrect.
* **Current-voltage characteristics** (cf. ).
* Current-voltage characteristics of a load always pass through the origin, since without current there is no voltage, and vice versa.
* Ohmic loads have a linear current-voltage characteristic which can be described by a single numerical value. \\ The slope in the $U$-$I$-characteristic is the conductivity: $I = G \cdot U = {{U}\over{R}}$

Unfortunately, in the case of meshed networks, it is often not possible to see in which direction the conventional directional sense of all currents and voltages runs before the calculation.
in such a meshed network is shown. In this circuit, a switch $S_1$ and a current $I_2$ are marked. \\

Electrical circuits typically have the structure of networks. Networks consist of two elementary structural elements:
- **branches/edges**: connections between two nodes.
- **nodes**: connection points of multiple branches
In the case of electrical circuits, note:
- **Branches** contain at least one component.
- **Nodes** connect more than two branches and can also be spatially extended.
Branches in electrical networks are called dipoles.
Their behaviour is described by current-voltage characteristics and explained in more detail in the chapter [[Linear Sources and Two-Poles]].
In addition, another term is to be explained: \\
A **mesh** is a closed path in the net. That means a mesh starts and ends at the same node and runs over at least one more node.
Since a voltmeter can also be present as a component between two nodes, it is also possible to close a mesh by specifying a voltage (cf. $U_1$ in ).

In contrast to the other cause-effect relationships, in networked circuits the entire behavior almost always changes when a change occurs in a branch / at a node. \\ This is comparable to other changes in other networks, e.g. a traffic jam in the road network, due to which other roads experience a higher load. For electrical engineering, this means that in the case of changing circuits, the focus is often on determining the interrelationships (formulas, current-voltage characteristics) and not on a single numerical value.

~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~CLEARFIX~~
==== The Knot Theorem (1st Kirchhoff Equation) ====
The node theorem formulates in the language of mathematics the experience that no charge "accumulations" occur in electrical conductors.
This is of particular relevance at a network node ().
To formulate the equation, the reference arrows of the currents at this network node are all set in the same way.
That is: all point away from or towards the node.
{{drawio>node set}}
The sum of all currents coming from the nodes must be zero.
$\boxed{I_1 + I_2 + I_3 + ... + I_n = \sum_{x=1}^{n} I_x=0}$
From now on, the following definition applies:
* Currents whose current arrows point towards the node are added in the calculation.
* Currents whose current arrows point away from the node are subtracted in the calculation.
{{drawio>parallel circuit}}
=== Parallel connection of resistors ===
The total resistance for resistors connected in parallel can be derived from the node set ():
Since the same voltage $U_{ab}$ is dropped across all resistors, the node theorem holds:
$\large{{U_{ab}}\over{R_1}}+ {{U_{ab}}\over{R_2}}+ ... + {{U_{ab}}\over{R_n}}= {{U_{ab}}\over{R_{substitute}}$
$\rightarrow \large{{1}\over{R_1}}+ {{1}\over{R_2}}+ ... + {{1}\over{R_n}}= {{1}\over{R_{substitute}} = \sum_{x=1}^{n} {{1}\over{R_x}}$
For resistors connected in parallel, the conductance $G_{substitute}$ is the sum of the individual conductance values: $G_{substitute} = \sum_{x=1}^{n} {G_x}$
The following applies in general: The equivalent resistance of a parallel circuit is always smaller than the smallest resistance.
Specifically, for two parallel resistors $R_1$ and $R_2$, $R_{substitute}= \large{{R_1 \cdot R_2}\over{R_1 + R_2}}$
=== Current divider ===
Derivation of the current divider with further considerations.
{{youtube>JgHwK1jMauM}}
The current divider rule can also be derived from the node theorem. \\
This states that for resistors $R_1, ... R_n$ their currents $I_1, ... I_n$ behave just like the conductances $G_1, ... G_n$ through which they flow.
$\large{{I_1}\over{I_g}} = {{G_1}\over{G_g}}$

==== The Mesh Theorem (2nd Kirchhoff Equation) ====
Also the mesh theorem describes in mathematical language a practical experience:
Between two points $a$ and $b$ of a network there is only one potential difference.
The potential difference is thus in particular independent of the path along which a network is traversed between the two points $1$ and $2$.
This can be described by considering meshes.
{{drawio>mesh set}}
In any mesh of an electrical network, the sum of all voltages is zero ():
$\boxed{U_{1} + U_{2} + ... + U_{n} = \sum_{x=1}^{n} U_x = 0}$
For the calculation, a sense of circulation must be defined. This can be chosen arbitrarily at first.
However, the following definition then applies:
* Stresses whose stress arrows point in the direction of rotation are added in the calculation.
* Stresses whose stress arrows point against the direction of circulation are subtracted in the calculation.
=== Proof of the Mesh Theorem ===
Expressing the voltages in by the potentials in the nodes, we get:
$U_{12}= \varphi_1 - \varphi_2 $ \\
$U_{23}= \varphi_2 - \varphi_3 $ \
♪U_{34}= \varphi_3 - \varphi_4 ♪ \
$U_{41}= \varphi_4 - \varphi_1 $
If these stresses are inserted into the mesh equation, then
$U_{12}+U_{23}+U_{34}+U_{41} = 0$ \.
=== Series connection of resistors ===
{{drawio>series circuit}}
Using the mesh theorem, the total resistance of a series circuit () can be easily determined:
$U_1 + U_2 + ... + U_n = U_g$
$R_1 \cdot I_1 + R_2 \cdot I_2 + ... + R_n \cdot I_n = R_{substitute} \cdot I $
Since in series connection the current through all resistors must be the same - i.e. $I_1 = I_2 = ... = I$ - the result is:
$R_1 + R_2 + ... + R_n = R_{substitute} = \sum_{x=1}^{n} R_x $

Especially the series connection of two resistors $R_1$ and $R_2$ shall be considered now.
This situation occurs in many practical applications (e.g. potentiometer).
In this circuit is shown.
Via the mesh equation we get
$\boxed{ {{U_1}\over{U}} = {{R_1}\over{R_1 + R_2}} }$
The ratio $k={{R_1}\over{R_1 + R_2}}$ also corresponds to the position at a potentiometer.

In the simulation in , an unloaded voltage divider in the form of a potentiometer can be seen. The ideal voltage source provides $5V$. The potentiometer has a total resistance of $1K\Omega$. In the configuration shown, this is divided out to $500 \Omega$ and $500 \Omega$.
- What voltage ''U_out'' would you expect if the switch were closed? After you have considered your result, you can check it by closing the switch.
- First consider what would happen if you __changed__ the distribution of the resistors by moving the slider ("intermediate tap")? \\ You can check your assumption by using the slider at the bottom right of the simulation.

==== The Loaded Voltage Divider ====
{{drawio>loadedvoltagedivider}}
If - in contrast to the above unloaded voltage divider - a load $R_L$ is connected to the output terminals (), it influences the output voltage.
A circuit analysis reveals:
$ U_1 = \LARGE{{U} \over{1 + {{R_2}\over{R_L}} + {{R_2}\over{R_1}} }} }$
or on a potentiometer with $k$ and $R_s = R_1 + R_2$:
$ U_1 = \LARGE{{k \cdot U} \over { 1 + k \cdot (1-k) \cdot{{R_s}\over{R_L}} }} }$
{{drawio>VoltageCurveLoadedVoltageDivider}}
shows the ratio of the output voltage $U_1$ to the input voltage $U$ (y-axis), with respect to the ratio $k={{R_1}\over{R_1 + R_2}}$. In principle, this is similar to , but here it has another dimension: several graphs are plotted. These differ by the ratio ${{R_s}\over{R_L}}$.
What does this diagram say now? This will be shown by an example. First, assume an __unloaded voltage divider__ with $R_2 = 4 k\Omega$ and $R_1 = 6 k\Omega$, and an input voltage of $10V$. Thus $k = 0.6$, $R_s = 10k\Omega$ and $U_1 = 6V$. \\ Now, this voltage divider is loaded with a load resistor. If this is at $R_L = R_1 = 10 k\Omega$, $k$ reduces to about $0.48$ and $U_1$ to $4.8V$ - so the output voltage collapses. For $R_L = 4k\Omega$, $k$ becomes even smaller to $k=0.375$ and $U_1 = 3.75V$. If the load $R_L$ is only one tenth of the resistor $R_s=R_1 + R_2$, $k=0.18$ and $U_1=1.8V$. The output voltage of the unloaded voltage divider ($6V$) thus became less than one third.

You wanted to test a micromotor for a small robot. Using the maximum current and internal resistance ($R_M = 5\Omega$), you calculate that it can be operated at a maximum of $U_{M,max}=4V$. A colleague suggested that you can get $4V$ from a $9V$ block battery via the setup in .
- First calculate the maximum current $I_{M,max}$ of the motor.
- Draw the corresponding electrical circuit with the motor connected as an ohmic resistor.
- At the maximum current, the motor should be able to deliver a torque of $M= 100mNm$. What torque would the motor deliver if you implement the setup like this? (Assumption: The torque of the motor increases proportionally to the motor current).
- What might a setup with a potentiometer look like that would actually allow you to set a voltage between $0.5V$ to $4V$ on the motor? What resistance value should the potentiometer have?
- Build and test your circuit in the simulation below. For an introduction to online simulation, see: [[electronic_circuit_technology:0 tools#Online Circuit Simulator]]. \\ You will essentially need the following tips for this setup:
- Routing connections can be activated via the menu ''Draw >> Insert Connection (wire)''. Afterwards you have to click on the start point and then drag it to the end point.
- Note that connections can only ever be connected to connection points. The red marked node at the $5 \Omega$ resistor indicates that it is not connected. This could be moved one grid step to the left, as there is a connection point there.
- Pressing the '''' key can be used to disable component insertion.
- With a right click on a component you can copy it or change values like the resistance via ''Edit...''.

=== Goals ===
After this lesson, you should:
- be able to convert triangular meshes into a star shape (and vice versa)
At the beginning of the chapter an example of a network was shown (). Here, however, one does not come directly to the solution with the set of nodes and meshes. However it is visible after that many triangular meshes or star-shaped nodes are present there (). These shall now be discussed in more detail.
First of all, a summary of the previous findings. Using the node and mesh theorem, it became clear that an equivalent resistance can be determined from both a series and a parallel circuit. If one considers the equivalent resistance as a black box - i.e. the inner expansion is unknown - it could be interpreted by both types of circuit ().
So how does this help us in the case of a triangular mesh?
Also in this case, one can provide a blackbox. However, this should always behave in the same way as the triangular mesh, i.e. any applied voltages should produce equal currents. \\
In other words, the resistances that can be measured between two terminals must be identical for both circuits.
For this purpose, the different resistances between the individual nodes $a$, $b$ and $c$ are now to be considered, see . It is to be found out how a delta circuit can be developed from a star circuit (and vice versa).

Calculation of the transformation formulas: star connection in delta connection
{{youtube>AFSWn5xR8tE}}
==== Delta connection ====
In the delta connection, the 3 resistors $R_{ab}^1$, $R_{bc}^1$ and $R_{ca}^1$ are connected in a mesh.
For the resistors between the two connections (e.g. $a$ and $b$), the third one ($c$) is considered as not connected. This results in a parallel connection of the direct star resistor $R_{ab}^1$ with the series connection of the other two star resistors $R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1$:
$R_{ab} = R_{ab}^1 || (R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1) $ \\
$R_{ab} = {{R_{ab}^1 \cdot (R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1)}\over{R_{ab}^1 + (R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1)}} = {{R_{ab}^1 \cdot (R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1)}\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1} $ \\
The same applies to the other connections. This results in:
\begin{align*}
R_{ab} = {{R_{ab}^1 \cdot (R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1)}\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1} \\
R_{bc} = {{R_{bc}^1 \cdot (R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1)}\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1} \\
R_{ca} = {{R_{ca}^1 \cdot (R_{bc}^1 + R_{ab}^1)}\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1} \tag{2.6.1} \end{align*}
==== Star connection ====
The resistors between the connections must now be similar to those in the star circuit. Also in the star connection 3 resistors are connected, but in a star shape. So the star resistors are all connected with another node $0$ in the middle: $R_{a0}^1$, $R_{b0}^1$ and $R_{c0}^1$.
Again, the same procedure is used as for the delta connection: the resistance between two connections (e.g. $a$ and $b$) is determined, the further connection ($c$) is considered to be open. The resistance of the further terminal ($R_{c0}^1$) is only connected at one side. Thus no current flows through it - it is thus not to be considered. It results:
\begin{align*}
R_{ab} = R_{a0}^1 + R_{b0}^1 \\
R_{bc} = R_{b0}^1 + R_{c0}^1 \
R_{ca} = R_{c0}^1 + R_{a0}^1 \tag{2.6.2}
\end{align*}
From equations $(2.6.1)$ and $(2.6.2)$ one obtains:
\begin{align} R_{ab} = {{R_{ab}^1 \cdot (R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1)}\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1}} = R_{a0}^1 + R_{b0}^1 \tag{2.6.3} \end{align}
\begin{align} R_{bc} = {{R_{bc}^1 \cdot (R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1)}\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1} = R_{b0}^1 + R_{c0}^1 \tag{2.6.4} \end{align}
\begin{align} R_{ca} = {{R_{ca}^1 \cdot (R_{bc}^1 + R_{ab}^1)}\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1} = R_{c0}^1 + R_{a0}^1 \tag{2.6.5} \end{align}
\begin{align} R_{ca} = {{R_{ca}^1 \cdot (R_{bc}^1 + R_{ab}^1)}\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1}} = R_{c0}^1 + R_{a0}^1 \tag{2.6.5} \end{align}
Equations $(2.6.3)$ to $(2.6.5)$ can now be cleverly combined so that there is only one resistor on one side. \\
A variation is to write the formulas as ${{1}\over{2}} \cdot \left( (2.6.3) + (2.6.4) - (2.6.5) \right)$ or ${{1}\over{2}} \cdot \left(R_{ab} + R_{bc} - R_{ca}\right)$ to combine. This gives $R_{b0}^1$ \.
\{{align}}
{{1}\over{2}} \cdot \left( {{R_{ab}^1 \cdot (R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1)}\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1} + {{R_{bc}^1 \cdot (R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1)}\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1} - {{R_{ca}^1 \cdot (R_{bc}^1 + R_{ab}^1)}\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1}} \right) &= {{1}\over{2}} \cdot \left( R_{a0}^1 + R_{b0}^1 + R_{b0}^1 + R_{c0}^1 - R_{c0}^1 - R_{a0}^1 \right) \.
{{1}\over{2}} \cdot \left( {{R_{ab}^1 \cdot (R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1)} + {R_{bc}^1 \cdot (R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1)} - {R_{ca}^1 \cdot (R_{bc}^1 + R_{ab}^1)}\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1} \right) &= {{1}\over{2}} \cdot \left( 2 \cdot R_{b0}^1 \right) \\.
{{1}\over{2}} \cdot \left( {{R_{ab}^1 R_{ca}^1 + R_{ab}^1 R_{bc}^1 + R_{bc}^1 R_{ab}^1 + R_{bc}^1 R_{ca}^1 - R_{ca}^1 R_{bc}^1 - R_{ca}^1 R_{ab}^1}\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1}} \right) &= R_{b0}^1 \
{{1}\over{2}} \cdot \left( {{ 2 \cdot R_{ab}^1 R_{bc}^1 }\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1}} \right) &= R_{b0}^1 \
{{ R_{ab}^1 R_{bc}^1 }\over{R_{ab}^1 + R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1} &= R_{b0}^1 }\over{R_{ca}^1 + R_{bc}^1}
\end{align*}
Similarly, one can resolve to $R_{a0}^1$ and $R_{c0}^1$, and with a slightly modified approach to $R_{ab}^1$, $R_{bc}^1$ and $R_{ca}^1$.

===== 2.7 Group circuit of resistors =====
=== Goals ===
After this lesson, you should:
- be able to simplify circuits consisting only of resistors.
- Be able to calculate the voltages and currents in circuits with a voltage source and several resistors.
- Be able to simplify symmetrical circuits.
In this subchapter a methodology is discussed, which should help to reshape circuits. In subchapter [[#2.6 Star-Delta-Circuit]] towards the end a network was already transformed in a way, that it does not contain triangular meshes any more. Now this procedure shall be systematized.
Starting point are tasks, where for a resistor network the total resistance, total current or total voltage has to be calculated.
==== simple example ====
{{drawio>ExampleCircuit2}}
An example of such a circuit is given in . Here $I_0$ is wanted. This current can be found by the (given) voltage $U_0$ and the total resistance between the terminals $a$ and $b$. So we are looking for $R_{ab}$.
As already described in the previous subchapters, partial circuits can also be converted into equivalent resistors step by step. It is important to note that these partial circuits for conversion into equivalent resistors may only ever have two connections (= two nodes to the "outside world").
{{drawio>ExampleCircuit2Solution}}

shows the step-by-step conversion of the equivalent resistors in this example. \\ As a result of the equivalent resistance one gets:
\begin{align*}
R_g = R_{12345} &= R_{12}||R_{345} = R_{12}||(R_3+R_{45}) = (R_1||R_2)||(R_3+R_4||R_5) \\
&= {{ {R_1 \cdot R_2}\over{R_1 + R_2}} \cdot (R_3 + {{R_4 \cdot R_5}\over{R_4 + R_5}}) }\over{ {{R_1 \cdot R_2}\over{R_1 + R_2}} +R_3 + {{R_4 \cdot R_5}\over{R_4 + R_5}} }} \quad \quad \quad \quad \bigg\rvert \cdot{{(R_1 + R_2) \cdot (R_4 + R_5)}\over{(R_1 + R_2) \cdot (R_4 + R_5)}} \\
&= {{ R_1 \cdot R_2 \cdot (R_3 + {{R_4 \cdot R_5}\over{R_4 + R_5}}) \cdot (R_4 + R_5) } \over { R_1 \cdot R_2\cdot(R_4 + R_5) +R_3 + R_4 \cdot R_5 \cdot (R_1 + R_2)}} \\
&= {{ R_1 \cdot R_2 \cdot (R_3 \cdot (R_4 + R_5) + R_4 \cdot R_5) } \over { R_1 \cdot R_2\cdot(R_4 + R_5) +R_3 + R_4 \cdot R_5 \cdot (R_1 + R_2)}} \\
\end{align*}
==== Example with triangle-star transformation ====
With the triangle-star-transformation now also the initial example can be transformed. For more complicated circuits, the repeated triangle-star-transformation with subsequent combining of the resistors is useful, until the resulting circuit is easily calculable with node and mesh theorem (). Here a calculation is omitted - it is recommended to calculate here with intermediate results for the transformed resistors.

==== Example with symmetries in the circuit ====

shows on the left a symmetrical construction of a network of equal resistors $R$. For better understanding, in the middle of the same circuit additional switches and test points (TP) are installed, which indicate the voltage to ground.
The switches can be used to check whether a current flows if the respective nodes are connected. In the simulation it can be seen that this is not the case. In the symmetrical setup, these nodes are each at the same potential.
This also allows the circuit to take the form shown in on the right. This circuit is again easy to calculate:
\begin{align*}
R_g = R || R + R || R || R + R || R || R + R || R = {{1}\over{2}}\cdot R + {{1}\over{4}}\cdot R + {{1}\over{4}}\cdot R + {{1}\over{2}}\cdot R = 1.5\cdot R

==== physics-equations ====
* Physical equations allow a connection of physical quantities.
* There are two types of physical equations to distinguish:
* quantity equations
* normalized quantity equations (also called related quantity equations)
=== Equations of quantity ===
The vast majority of physical equations result in a physical unit that is not equal to $1$.
\\ \\
Example: Force $F = m \cdot a$ with $[F] = kg \cdot {{m}\over{s^2}}$
\\ \\
* Unit control should **always** be used with quantity equations.
* Equations of magnitude should generally be preferred
=== Normalized size equations ===
With normalized quantity equations, the measured value or calculated value of a quantity equation is divided by a reference value.
The result is a dimensionless quantity relative to the reference value.
Example: Efficiency $\eta = {{P_{down}}\over{P_{up}}$
The reference value is often:
* nominal values (maximum permissible value in continuous operation) or
* maximum values (maximum value achievable in the short term)
are used.
* For normalized quantity equations, the units should **always** cancel out.
Let a body with mass $m = 100kg$ be given. The body is lifted by the distance $s=2m$. \\
What work is done?
\\ \\
Physical equation:
Work = Force $\cdot$ Displacement
\W = F \cdot s \quad\quad\quad\;$ where $F=m \cdot g$
\\ $W = m \cdot g \cdot s \quad\quad$ with $m=100kg$, $s=2m$ and $g=9.81{{m}\over{s^2}}$
\cdot $W=100kg \cdot 9.81{{m}\over{s^2}} \cdot 2m $
\cdot $W = 100\cdot 9.81 \cdot 2 \;\; \cdot \;\; kg \cdot {{m}\over{s^2}} \cdot m$
\\\ $W = 1962 \quad\quad \cdot \quad\quad\; \left( kg \cdot {{m}\over{s^2}} \) \cdot m $
\cdot $W = 1962 Nm = 1962 J $

In physics and electrical engineering, attempts have often been made to find letters for physical quantities that are close to the (English) term. \\
Thus $C$ for //**__C__**apacity//, $Q$ for //**__Q__**uantity// and $\varepsilon_0$ for the //**__E__**lectical Field Constant// and others can be explained.
Here it can already be seen that $C$ is used for the thermal capacity as well as for the electric capacity.
The Latin alphabet does not have enough letters for the scope of physics to avoid conflicts.
Therefore, for various physical quantities, Greek letters are used (see ).

* In the thought experiment, let the following be given (see ):
* the above conductor with a control cross section $A$ perpendicular to the conductor.
* the quantity of charges $\Delta Q = n \cdot e$, which in a certain period of time $\Delta t$, pass through the area $A$.
* In the case of a uniform charge transport over a longer period of time, i.e. direct current (DC), the following applies:
* The amount of charges per time flowing through the surface is constant: \{\Delta Q} \over {\Delta t}} = const. = I$
* $I$ denotes here the strength of the direct current.
* The unit of $I$ is the SI unit ampere: $1 A = {{1 C}\over{1 s}}$ . Thus, for the unit coulomb $1 C = 1 A\cdot s$.
.
The current of $1 A$ flows when an amount of charge of $1 C$ is transported through the cross-section of the conductor in $1 s$.
Before 2019: The current of $1 A$ flows when two parallel conductors, each $1m$ long and $1m$ apart, exert a force of $F_C = 0.2\cdot 10^{-6} N$ on each other.
An electric current is the directed motion of free, electric charge carriers.
==== Specifying the direction of the current ====
{{drawio>pos_neg_charges_in_conductor}}
Charge transport can take place by ():
* negative charge carriers $\color{midnightBlue}{\Delta Q_n}$ (e.g. electrons in a metallic conductor).
* positive charge carriers $\color{brown}{\Delta Q_p}$ (e.g. certain semiconductor materials or in electrochemical cells)
* positive and negative charge carriers (e.g. certain semiconductor materials, plasma)
The total cargo transported is
$\Delta Q = \color{brown}{\Delta Q_p} - \color{midnightBlue}{\Delta Q_n} = n_p \cdot e - n_n \cdot (-e)$
$\rightarrow$ The direction of the current must be determined independently of the direction of motion of the electric charge carriers.
The current in a conductor from a cross-sectional area $A_1$ to a cross-sectional area $A_2$ is calculated to be positive if:
* positive charge carriers move from $A_1$ to $A_2$, resp.
* negative charge carriers move from $A_2$ to $A_1$.
The direction of current (or technical direction of current) is the sense of direction of the positive current, that is, the positive charge carriers.

**Potential energy**
Potential energy is always related to a reference level.
The energy required to move $m$ from $h_1$ to $h_2$ is independent of the reference level.
$\Delta W = W_1 - W_2 = m \cdot g \cdot (h_1 - h_2)$
{{drawio>electric_potential}}
=== Electrical===
**Potential**
The potential $\varphi$ is always fixed relative to a reference point.
Common is:
* ground potential (earth, ground, ground).
* infinitely distant point
To shift the charge, the potential difference must be overcome. The potential difference is independent of the reference potential.
$\boxed{\delta W_{1,2} = W_1 - W_2 = Q \cdot \varphi_1 - Q \cdot \varphi_2 = Q \cdot (\varphi_1 - \varphi_2)}$
\\ \\
From this we get: \\
$\boxed{{\Delta W_{1,2} \over {Q}} = \varphi_1 - \varphi_2 = U_{1,2}}$
* Voltage is always a potential difference.
* The unit of voltage is volts: $1 V$.
.
A voltage of $1 V$ is present between two points if a charge of $1 C$ undergoes a change in energy of $1J = 1Nm$ between those two points.
From $W=U \cdot Q$ we also get the unit: $1Nm = 1V\cdot As \rightarrow 1V = 1{{Nm}\over{As}}$
==== Voltage between two points ====
For the tension between two points the following definition results with the previous knowledge:
$U_{12} = \varphi_1 - \varphi_2 = -U_{21} = - (\varphi_2 - \varphi_1)$
Therefore, the order of the indices must always be observed in the following.

Current flow generally requires energy input. This energy is extracted from the electric circuit and is usually converted into heat.
The reason for this is the resistance of the conductor.
A resistor is an electrical component with two terminals. Components with two terminals are called two-terminal or one-terminal (). In the second semester, four-terminal or two-terminal components will also be added.
In general, the cause-and-effect relationship is such that an applied voltage across the resistor produces the current flow. However, the reverse relationship also applies: as soon as an electric current flows across a resistor, a voltage drop is generated across the resistor.
In electrical engineering, circuit diagrams work with idealized components. The resistance of the supply lines is either neglected - if it is very small compared to all other resistance values - or drawn in by a separate resistor.
~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~CLEARFIX~~
==== Linearity of resistors ====
=== Linear resistors ===
{{drawio>linear_resistor_UI}}
* For linear resistors, the resistance value $R={{U_R}\over{I_R}}=const.$ and thus is independent of $U_R$.
* This results in **Ohm's law**: \ $\boxed{R={{U_R}\over{I_R}}$ with unit $[R]={[U_R]}\over{[I_R]}}= 1{{V}\over{A}}= 1\Omega$
* In , the value $R$ can be read from the course of the straight line $R={{\Delta U_R}\over{\Delta I_R}}$
* The reciprocal value of the resistance is called conductance: $G={{1}\over{R}}$ with the unit $1 S$ (Siemens). This value can be seen as a slope in the $U$-$I$ diagram.
=== Nonlinear resistors ===
{{drawio>nonlinear_resistor_UI}}
* The point in the $U$-$I$-diagram, which is taken in a system, is called **working point** or **operating point**. In , a **working point** is marked with a circle in the left-hand diagram.
* For non-linear resistors, the resistance value is $R={{U_R}\over{I_R(U_R)}}=f(U_R)$. This resistance value depends on the operating point.
* Often small changes around the operating point are interesting (e.g. for small disturbances of load machines). For this, the **differential resistance** $r$ (also dynamic resistance) is determined: \ $\boxed{r={{dU_R}\over{dI_R}}\approx{{\delta U_R}\over{\delta I_R}}$ with unit $[R]=1\Omega$.
* As with the resistor $R$, the reciprocal of the differential resistance $r$ is the differential conductance $g$.
* In , the differential conductance $g$ can be read from the slope of the straight line at each point $g={{dI_R}\over{dU_R}}$
==== Resistance as a material property ====
Illustrative explanation of resistivity
{{youtube>_F-Y_I8DJEE}}
The resistance value can also be derived from the geometry of the resistor. For this purpose, an experiment can be carried out with resistors of different shapes. Thereby it can be stated:
* the resistance value $R$ increases proportionally with the length $l$ that the current has to travel: $R \sim l$
* the resistance value $R$ decreases inversely proportional with the cross-sectional area $A$ through which the current passes: $R \sim {{1}\over{A}}$
* the resistance value $R$ depends on the material ()
* this gives: \\ $R \sim {{l}\over{A}}$

==== Temperature dependence of resistors ====
Explanation of the temperature dependence of resistors
{{youtube>Xw7QXJ9sV6s}}
{{drawio>Resistor_Temperature_Circuit}}
{{drawio>Resistance_Temperature}}
The resistance value is - apart from the influences of geometry and material mentioned so far - also influenced by other effects. These are e.g.:
* Heat (thermoresistive effect, e.g. in the resistance thermometer).
* Light (photoresistive effect, e.g. in the component photo resistor)
* Magnetic field (magnetoresistive effect, e.g. in hard disks)
* pressure (piezoresistive effect e.g. tire pressure sensor)
* chemical environment (chemoresistive effect e.g. chemical analysis of breathing air)
In order to summarize these influences in formulas, the mathematical tool of the {{wpde>Taylor series}} is often used. This will be used here practically on the basis of the thermoresistive effect. The thermoresistive effect, or the {{wpde>temperature coefficient|temperature dependence of resistors}} is one of the most common (disturbance) influences in components.
The starting point for this should again be an experiment. The ohmic resistance is to be determined as a function of temperature. For this purpose, the resistance is determined by means of a voltage source, a voltmeter (voltmeter) and an ammeter (ammeter) and the temperature is changed ().
This results in a plot of resistance $R$ versus temperature $\vartheta$ as shown in . These are approximated to a first approximation by a linear curve about an operating point. This results in:
$R(\vartheta) = R_0 + c\cdot (\vartheta - \vartheta_0)$
* The constant is replaced here by $c = R_0 \cdot \alpha$
* $\alpha$ is here the **linear resistance-temperature coefficient** with the unit: $ [\alpha] = {{1}\over{[\vartheta]}} = {{1}\over{K}} $
* Besides the linear term, it is also possible to increase the accuracy of the calculation of $R(\vartheta)$ with higher exponent of the temperature influence. This approach is considered again in more detail in mathematics under {{wpde>potency series}}.
* These resistance-temperature coefficients are described by Greek letters: $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$, ...
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
{{drawio>resistance_temperature_coefficient}}
The temperature dependence of a resistor is described by the following equation:
$\boxed{ R(\vartheta) = R_0 (1 + \alpha \cdot (\vartheta - \vartheta_0) + \beta \cdot (\vartheta - \vartheta_0)^2 + \gamma \cdot (\vartheta - \vartheta_0)^3 + ...}$
Where:
* $\alpha$ the **(linear) resistance-temperature coefficient** with unit: $ [\alpha] = {{1}\over{K}} $
* $\beta$ the **(quadratic) resistance-temperature coefficient** with unit: $ [\beta] = {{1}\over{K^2}} $
* $\gamma$ the **resistance-temperature coefficient** with unit: $ [\gamma] = {{1}\over{K^3}} $
* $\vartheta_0$ the given reference temperature (or reference temperature), usually $0°C$ or $25°C$.
The further the temperature range deviates from the reference temperature, the more temperature coefficients are required to replicate the actual curve ().
~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~CLEARFIX~~
In addition to specifying the parameters $\alpha$,$\beta$, ... the specification of $R_{25}$ and $B_{25}$ can occasionally be found. This is a different variant of approximation, which refers to the temperature of $25°C$. This is based on the {{wpde>Arrhenius equation}}, which in chemistry links reaction kinetics to temperature. For NTCs, the Arrhenius equation links the inhibition of charge carrier motion by lattice vibrations to temperature $R(T) \sim e^{{B}\over{T}} $
Again, a series expansion can be applied: $R(T) \sim e^{A + {{B}\over{T}} + {{C}\over{T^2}} + ...}$
However, often only $B$ is given. \\ By taking the ratio of any temperature $T$ and $T_{25}=298.15 K$ ($\hat{=} 25°C$) we get:
${R(T)}\over{R_{25}} = {{exp \left({{B}\over{T}}\right)} \over {exp \left({{B}\over{298.15 K}}\right)}} $ with $R_{25}=R(T_{25})$
This allows the final formula to be determined:
$R(T) = R_{25} \cdot exp \left( B_{25} \cdot \left({{1}\over{T}} - {{1}\over{298.15 K}} \right) $
=== Types of temperature dependent resistors ===
In addition to temperature dependence as a disturbance influence, there are also components which have been deliberately bred for a specific temperature influence. These are called thermistors (a portmanteau of __therm__ally-sensitive res__istor__). Thermistors are basically divided into hot conductors and cold conductors.
A special form are materials which have been explicitly optimized for minimum temperature dependence (e.g. Constantan or Isaohm).
=== Thermistors===
{{drawio>Hot_conductor_UI}}
* As the name suggests, the {{wpde>thermistor}} has a lower resistance at higher temperatures.
* A thermistor is also called an NTC (for __n__egative __t__emperature __c__oefficient).
* Examples are semiconductors
* Applications are inrush current limiters and temperature sensors. For the desired operating point, a strongly non-linear curve is selected there (e.g. fever thermometer).
=== PTC thermistors===
{{drawio>PTC thermistor_UI}}
* The {{wpde>pTC thermistor}} shows a higher resistance at higher temperatures.
* A PTC thermistor is also called a PTC (__p__positive __t__temperature __c__oefficient).

* Applications are temperature sensors. For this they often offer a wide temperature range and good linearity (e.g. PT100 in the range $-100°C$ to $200°C$).

===== 1.7 Power and efficiency =====
=== Objectives ===
After this lesson, you should:
- Be able to calculate the electrical power and energy across a resistor.
==== Determining the electrical power in a direct current circuit ====
From chapter [[#1.5 Voltage, Potential and Energy]] it is known that a movement of a charge across a potential difference corresponds to a change in energy. So charge transport automatically means energy expenditure. Often, however, the energy expenditure per time unit is of interest.
{{drawio>PowerEnergy}}
{{drawio>SourceConsumer}}
The energy expenditure per unit of time represents the power: \\
$\boxed{P={\Delta W}\over{\Delta t}}$ with the unit $[P]={[W]}\over{[t]}}=1 {{J}\over{s}} = 1 {{Nm}\over{s}} = 1 V\cdot A = 1 W$
For a constant power $P$ and an initial energy $W(t=0)=0$ holds: \\
$\boxed{W=P \cdot t}$ \
If the above restrictions do not apply, the generated/needed energy must be calculated via an integral.
In addition to current flowing from the source to the load (and back), power also flows from the source to the load.
Considering only __a DC circuit__, the following energy is converted between the terminals (see also and ): \\
$W=U_{12}\cdot Q = U_{12} \cdot I \cdot t$
This gives the power (i.e. energy converted per unit time): \\
$\boxed{P=U_{12} \cdot I}$ with the unit $[P]= 1 V\cdot A = 1W \quad$ ... $W$ here stands for watt.
For ohmic resistors applies:
$\boxed{P=R\cdot I^2 = {{U_{12}^2}\over{R}}$
==== Nominal values of ohmic loads ====
^ Name of the nominal quantity ^ Physical quantity ^ Description ^
| rated power | $P_N$ | $P_N$ is the power output of a device (consumer or generator) permissible in continuous operation |
| Rated current | $I_N$ | $I_N$ is the current occurring during operation at rated power |
| rated voltage | $U_N$ | $U_N$ is the voltage occurring in operation with rated power |
==== Efficiency ====
{{drawio>Power Flow}}
The usable (= outgoing) $P_A$ power is always smaller than the supplied (incoming) power $P_E$. The difference is called power loss $P_V$. It is thus valid:
$P_E = P_A + P_V$
Instead of the power loss $P_V$ the efficiency $\eta$ is often given:
$\boxed{\eta = {{P_{A}}\over{P_{E}}\overset{!}{<} 1}$
For systems connected in series (see ), the total resistance is given by:
$\boxed{\eta = {{P_{A}}\over{P_{E}} = {\not{P_{1}}\over{P_{E}}\cdot {\not{P_{2}}\over \not{P_{1}}\cdot {{P_{A}}\over \not{P_{2}} = \eta_1 \cdot \eta_3 \cdot \eta_3}$

====== 3. Linear sources and dipoles ======
It is known from everyday life that battery voltages drop under heavy load. This can be seen, for example, when turning the ignition key in winter: The load from the starter motor is sometimes so great that the low beam or radio briefly cuts out. \\
Another example are $1.5V$ batteries: If such a battery is short-circuited by a piece of wire, not so much current flows that the piece of wire glows, but noticeably less.
So it makes sense here to develop the concept of the ideal voltage source further.
In addition, we will see that this also opens up a possibility to convert and simplify more complicated circuits.
{{drawio>PassiveTwoPole}}
First, the concept of the two-terminal from the chapter [[basics_and_basic_concepts?#resistance_and_conductance|basics and basic concepts]] is to be expanded ().
- As **passive two-terminal** in the following a two-terminal is called, which acts exclusively as a consumer. Thus it is valid for the passive two-terminal that the current-voltage-characteristic always runs through the origin (see also chapter [[simple_dc-circuits#consumer|simple circuits]]).
- **Active two-terminal circuits**, on the other hand, also act as generators of electrical energy. Thus, the current-voltage characteristic there __does not__ pass through the origin. Active dipoles always contain at least one source (i.e. at least one current or voltage source).

For the ideal voltage source it was defined that it always supplies the same voltage independent of the load. In , in contrast, an example of a "realistic" voltage source is shown as an active two-terminal. \\
- This active two-terminal generates a voltage of $1.5V$ and a current of $0A$ when the circuit is open.
- If a resistor is added, the voltage decreases and the current increases. For example, a voltage of $1.2V$ is applied to the resistor of $2 \Omega$ and a current of $0.6A$ flows.
- The terminals of the active two-terminal can be directly connected via the outer switch. Then a current of $3A$ flows at a voltage of $0V$.
This realization shall now be described with some technical terms:
* One speaks of **open circuit** when no current is drawn from an active two-terminal: $I_{LL}=0$. \\ The voltage corresponds to the **open circuit voltage** $U=U_{LL}$ (English: OCV for Open Circuit Voltage). \ The open circuit power is $P_{LL}=U_{LL} \cdot I_{LL} = 0$.
* The term **short circuit** is used when the terminals of the two-pole are bridged without resistance. The current then flowing is called the **short-circuit current** $I=I_{KS}$. \ The short-circuit voltage is $U_{KS}=0V$. \ Also, the short-circuit power is $P_{KS}=U_{KS} \cdot I_{KS} = 0$.
* In the region between no-load and short-circuit, the active two-terminal outputs power to a connected load.
Important: As will be seen in the following, the short-circuit current inside the two-terminal can cause considerable power loss and thus a lot of waste heat. Not every real two-terminal is designed for this.

{{drawio>IU_CharacteristicLinearVoltageSource}}
What is interesting now is the current-voltage characteristic of the circuit in . This can be seen in the simulation below. The result is a linear curve (see ).
From a purely mathematical point of view, the course can be represented by the basic equation of linear graphs with the y-axis intercept $I_{KS}$ and a slope of $-{{I_{KS}}\over{U_{LL}}$:
\begin{align*}
I = I_{KS} - {{I_{KS}}\over{U_{LL}}\cdot U \tag{3.1.1} \end{align*}
On the other hand, the formula can also be resolved to $U$:
\begin{align*}
U = U_{LL} - {{U_{LL}}\over{I_{KS}}\cdot I \tag{3.1.2} \end{align*}
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
If a two-terminal results in a linear curve between $U_{LL}$ and $I_{KS}$, it is called a **linear source**. This curve describes in good approximation the behavior of many real sources. Often one finds synonymous to the term 'linear source' also the term 'real (voltage) source'. However, this is somewhat misleading as it is a simplified model for reality.

So what does the inside of the linear source look like? In two possible linear sources are shown, which will be considered in the following.
==== Linear voltage source ====
The linear voltage source consists of a series connection of an ideal voltage source with the source voltage $U_0$ (English: EMF for Electro-Magnetic-Force) and the internal resistance $R_i$.
To determine the voltage outside the active two-terminal, the system can be considered as a voltage divider. The following applies:
\U = U_0 - R_i \cdot I \end{align*}
The source voltage $U_0$ of the ideal voltage source is to be measured at the terminals of the two-terminal, if this is unloaded. Then no current flows through the internal resistor $R_i$ and there is no voltage drop there. Therefore: The source voltage is equal to the open circuit voltage $U_0 = U_{LL}$.
\U = U_{LL} - R_i \cdot I \end{align*}
When the external voltage $U=0$, it is the short circuit case. In this case, $0 = U_{LL} - R_i \cdot I_{KS}$ and transform $R_i = {{U_{LL}}\over{I_{KS}}$. Thus, equation $(3.1.2)$ is obtained:
\begin{align*} U = U_{LL} - {{U_{LL}}\over{I_{KS}} \cdot I \end{align*}
Is this the structure of the linear source we are looking for? To verify this, we will now look at the second linear source.
==== Linear current source ====
The linear current source now consists of a __parallel circuit__ of an ideal current source with source current $I_0$ and internal resistance $R_i$, or internal conductance $G_i = {{1}\over{R_i}}$. To determine the voltage outside the active two-terminal, the system can be considered as a current divider. Here, the following holds:
\begin{align*} I = I_0 - G_i \cdot U \end{align*}
Here, the source current can be measured at the terminals in the event of a short circuit. The following therefore applies: $I_{KS}= I_0$
\begin{align*} I = I_{KS} - G_i \cdot U \end{align*}
When the external current $I=0$, it is the no-load case. In this case, $0 = I_{KS} - G_i \cdot U_{LL}$ and transform $G_i = {{I_{KS}}\over{U_{LL}}$. \\ Thus, equation $(3.1.1)$ is obtained:
\begin{align*} I = I_{KS} - {{I_{KS}}\over{U_{LL}} \cdot U \end{align*}
So it seems that the two linear sources describe the same thing.
==== Duality of linear sources ====
{{drawio>DualitySources}}
Through the previous calculations, we came to the interesting realization that both the linear voltage source and the linear current source provide the same result. It is true: For a linear source, both a linear voltage source and a linear current source can be specified as an equivalent circuit! As already in the case of the star-delta transformation, this not only provides two explanations for a black box. Also here linear voltage sources can be transformed into linear linear current sources and vice versa.
The compares again the two linear sources and their characteristics:
- The linear voltage source is given by the source voltage $U_0$, or the open circuit voltage $U_{LL}$ and the internal resistance $R_i$.
- The linear current source is given by the source current $I_0$, or the short-circuit current $I_{KS}$ and the internal conductance $G_i$.
The conversion is now done in such a way that the same characteristic curve is obtained:
- __From linear voltage source to linear current source__: \\ __Given: Source voltage $U_0$, or open circuit voltage $U_{LL}$, internal resistance $R_i$ \Looked for: source current $I_0$, or short circuit current $I_{KS}$ , internal conductance $G_i$ \ $\boxed{I_{KS} = {{U_{LL}}\over{R_i}}$ , $\boxed{G_i = {{1}\over{R_i}}$
- __From linear current source to linear voltage source__: \\ __Given: Source current $I_0$, resp. short-circuit current $I_{KS}$ , internal resistance $G_i$ __Sought: Source voltage $U_0$, resp. open-circuit voltage $U_{LL}$, internal resistance $R_i$ __$ $\boxed{U_{LL} = {{I_{KS}}\over{G_i}}$ , $\boxed{R_i = {{1}\over{G_i}}$

shows the characteristics of the linear voltage source (left) and a resistive resistor (right). For this purpose, both are connected to a test system in the simulation: In the case of the source with a variable ohmic resistor, in the case of the load with a variable source. The characteristic curves formed in this way were described in the previous chapter.

{{drawio>WorkingPointLinear}}
The operating point can be determined from both characteristic curves. This is assumed when both the linear voltage source is connected to the ohmic resistor (without the respective test systems). In both characteristic curves are drawn in a current-voltage diagram. The point of intersection is just the operating point that sets in. If the load resistance is varied, the slope changes in inverse proportion and a new operating point is established (light grey in the figure).

{{drawio>StraightSharesSourceParameters}}
The variation of the different source parameters will be briefly discussed.
\\ \\
For the linear current source, the source current $I_0$ and the internal conductance $G_i$ can be varied. This results in the straight line arrays in above. The source current shifts the straight lines while keeping the slope constant. The internal conductance changes only the slope; this results in a straight line array around the intersection $I_0 = I_{KS}$. \\ Since an ideal current source should always supply the source current, its internal conductance $G_i=0$.

For the linear voltage source, the source voltage $U_0$ and the internal resistance $R_i$ can be varied. This results in the straight line arcs in below.

In , it can be seen that the internal resistance of the linear current source measured by the ohmmeter (resistance meter) is exactly equal to that of the linear voltage source.
If you look at the properties of the ohmmeter in the simulation, you will see that a measuring current is used there to determine the resistance value. This concept will still be part of the electrical engineering lab experiment on [[electrical_engineering_lab:1. resistors|resistors]]s in the 2nd semester.
However, a very large measuring current of $1A$ is used here. This could lead to high voltages or destruction of components in real setups.
\\ \\
Why is this nevertheless chosen so high in the simulation? Set the measuring current for both linear sources to (more realistic) $1mA$. What do you notice?
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
{{drawio>CircuitTwoCurrentSources}}
The circuit in shows this circuit again. The ohmmeter is replaced by a current source and a voltmeter, since only the electrical properties are important in the following. In this setup, it can be seen that the current through $G_i$ is just given by $I_i = I_0 + I_\Omega$ (node theorem). Thus, the two sources in the circuit can be reduced.
This should make the situation clear with a measuring current of $1mA$. The voltage at the resistor is now given by $U_\Omega = R \cdot (I_0 + I_\Omega)$. Only when $I_\Omega$ is very large does $I_0$ become negligible. The current of a conventional ohmmeter cannot guarantee this for every measurement.
If resistors are to be measured in a circuit, at least one terminal of the resistor must be disconnected from the circuit. Otherwise, other sources or resistors may falsify the measurement result.
==== More complex example ====
{{drawio>CircuitMultipleCurrentSources}}
But this knowledge can now be used for more complicated circuits. In such a circuit is drawn. This is to be converted into a searched equivalent conductance $G_g$ and a searched equivalent current source with $I_g$.
**Important here**: Only two-terminals can be converted via source duality. This means that only 2 nodes may act as output terminals for selected sections of the circuit. If there are more nodes the conversion is not possible.
\\ \\ \\
- As a first step, sources are to be converted in such a way that resistors can be combined after the conversion. In this example this is done by:
- converting the linear voltage source $R_1$ and $U_1$ into a linear current source with $I_1={{U_1}\over{R_1}}$ and $R_1$ (or $G_1={{1}\over{R_1}}$)\
- converting the linear current source $R_4$ and $I_4$ into a linear voltage source with $U_4={{I_4}\cdot{R_4}}$ and $R_4$ \\ \\ \\\ \\\ \\\\
- In the second step, the linear voltage source $U_4$ formed in 1. with $R_4$ can be connected to the resistor $R_3$. From this again a linear current source can be created. This now has a resistance of $R_5 = R_3+R_4$ and an ideal current source with $I_5 = {{U_4}\over{R_3+R_4}}= {{I_4}\cdot{R_4}\over{R_3+R_4}} $. \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\
- The circuit diagram that now emerges is a parallel circuit of ideal current sources and resistors. This can be used to determine the values of the ideal equivalent current source and the equivalent resistance:
- ideal equivalent current source $I_g$: \begin{align*} I_g = I_1 + I_3 + I_5 = I_1 + I_3 + I_4\cdot{{R_4}\over{R_3+R_4}} \end{align*}
- Substitute conductance $G_g$: \begin{align*} G_g = \Sigma G_i = {{1}\over{R_1}}+{{1}\over{R_2}}+{{1}\over{R_5}}={{1}\over{R_1}}+{{1}\over{R_2}}+{{1}\over{R_3+R_4}} \end{align*}

==== Simplified determination of the internal resistance ====
{{drawio>SubstituteResistorIdealSources}}
If only the equivalent resistance of a more complex circuit is sought, the following approach can be used:
- Replace all ideal voltage sources by a short circuit \\ (= internal resistance of the ideal voltage source).
- Replace all ideal current sources by an open contact \\ (= internal resistance of the ideal current source)
- Add the remaining resistors to an equivalent resistance using the rules for parallel and series connection.
The equivalent circuits for the ideal sources can be seen via the circuit diagrams (see ).
Thus also the equivalent resistance of the complex circuit above can be derived quickly. \\
For the source current $I_0$ ideal equivalent current source resp. the source voltage $U_0$ ideal equivalent voltage source this derivation can not be used.
The reason that the internal resistance can be determined in this simple way will be explained in the next chapter [[analysis_of_dc_networks#superposition_methodsuperposition_principle|analysis_of_dc_networks: Superposition method]] is explained.

===== 3.3 Power at two poles and reference values =====
=== Goals ===
After this lesson, you should:
- be able to calculate the source power and consumer power.
- be able to distinguish between the optimisation objectives for power engineering and communications engineering.
- be able to calculate the efficiency and utilization factor.
Power and efficiency have already been considered in [[basics_and_basic_concepts#power_and_efficiency|1st chapter]] and [[simple_dc_circuits#generator_and_consumer_reference_arrow_systems|2nd chapter]] for a simple dc circuit. In the following, this will be analyzed again with the knowledge of two-terminals.
This is especially important for the fields of communications and power engineering. The goals here are different:
- In __power engineering__, power transmission is the goal. Power is thus to be delivered without losses as far as possible.
- In __communications engineering__, the focus is on information transmission. So that, for example, the best possible signal can be extracted from an antenna, the maximum power must be extracted here.
These two goals seem similar at first, but they are quite different, as will be seen in a moment.
==== Power measurement ====
{{drawio>PowerMeasurementLinearVoltageSource}}
First, it is necessary to consider how to determine the power. The power meter (or wattmeter) consists of a combined ammeter and voltmeter.
In the wattmeter with the circuit symbol can be seen as a round element with crossed measuring inputs.
The circuit also shows one wattmeter each for the (not externally measurable) output power of the ideal source $P_Q$ and the input power of the load $P_R$.

The simulation in shows the following:
* The circuit with linear voltage source ($U_0$ and $R_i$), and a resistive load $R_L$.
* A simulated wattmeter, where the ammeter is implemented by a measuring resistor $R_S$ (English: shunt) and a voltage measurement for $U_S$. The power is then: $P_L = {{1}\over{R_S}}\cdot U_S \cdot U_L$.
* in the oscilloscope section (below).
* On the left is the power ''P_L'' plotted against time in a graph.
* On the right is the already known current-voltage diagram of the current values.
* The slider ''Load resistance R_L'', with which the value of the load resistance $R_L$ can be changed.
Now try to vary the value of the load resistance $R_L$ (slider) in the simulation so that the maximum power is achieved. Which resistance value is set?

{{drawio>CurrentVoltageDiagramWithPower}}
shows three diagrams:
* Diagram top: current-voltage diagram of linear voltage source.
* Diagram in the middle: source power $P_Q$ and consumer power $P_L$ versus delivered voltage $U_L$.
* Diagram below: Reference quantities over delivered voltage $U_L$.
The two powers are defined as follows:
* source power: $\, \, \large{ P_Q = U_0 \cdot I_L} $
* consumer power: $\large{ P_L = U_L \cdot I_L} $
- Both power $P_Q$ and $P_L$ are equal to 0 without current flow. The source power becomes maximum, at maximum current flow, that is, when the load resistance $R_L=0$. In this case, all the power flows out through the internal resistor. The efficiency drops to $0\%$. This is the case, for example, with a battery shorted by a wire.
- If the load resistance becomes just as large as the internal resistance $R_L=R_i$, the result is a voltage divider where the load voltage becomes just half the open circuit voltage: $U_L = {{1}\over{2}}\cdot U_{LL}$. On the other hand, the current is also half the short-circuit current $I_L=I_{KS}$, since the resistance at the ideal voltage source is twice that in the short-circuit case.
- If the load resistance becomes high impedance $R_L\rightarrow\infty$, less and less current flows, but more and more voltage drops across the load. Thus, the efficiency increases and approaches $100\%$ for $R_L\rightarrow\infty$.
The whole context can be seen in a [[https://www.falstad.com/circuit/circuitjs.html?running=false&ctz=CQAgjCAMB0mQrFaB2AzADgJwIGyU1qpDvBPOiIgCyoBQAbiALSY4gBMVkzr4VVUQV0qDuMeLQDuIKhTD8QveQMi0ATorbLwePivBxV09pDkLO3bao2oT4ZG1vcLgsHCkgnHZOw6nvvkY6zj46AVAeLGzsoVEcwtYc6GYCLlZIhmC07GC+NL44AvwUYp5+hnAAVAAUAIZMAEYAlDUNTADGTR4uhTK2IL1BXtoYAlYeXjG+o+FB+Rycfb65JbQA5pTsFLzwW+C5ESbImxS9uxSyMiAACgD6ADLdwmAHaQpBPanPB0PoArwzcbSebsRYg0KqBrMFb7ZbITAcAgRKEmCj9eCYCBgQa0AAeCwMyxwWIQVzAFAAygAHWoAO1pAFdaWsAM4ARwZAFMADbczl4hapbjwSDHdioMkUe6cgCWLIALkzWQBbTksllKgA6LNqyu1ADVOWoGmpagz2gALI3dfzabGWd42ihTYKzWhUzx-PSe1KhCBiCZ2EZBhwRVDIbhEMYKYKf0RaSTYSTCETL28ea8X6+vL9F2qfGgkDoNihrCSkDcmW0zm1NT8-E4aLEEDIZ34CsAVQF6F8OV8yQ4YGo4ECApeYz97C0yBH5JAACVx0R7HJ+uSIGNfDKBVtoi9Ec75BWl-iiM5sZ4WzkEVuQI9Cxj9tFkFiwLfwBRT94JblnOgsXFMlfApbpBxGSBoxUAVUCfXtPFfYs5wobsz0QksEIRcs71A-EuGOd8LjACUTE3Ud7xgzBfyomRSXfNgxhQmC3FHaZL1yOdfAfK9f0vIg5HfCsAEk0wEOJ5jiVRw24Jh13eb14wLQVoVCeAcF8JhsQ-edpTlRVmRZVV1S1HVaW1AATI1tWqGVLNqPlaSabUAEUuV5fkUX8TTdAxCAmD2VQjhOaE9nOaEFAEO5nPWYK4jCph0ADaRLxdS8mBxaRZI0gEvUkyJEpCi5+k0gLsgOCSYWKaFMECMoTAqSAanqZomo6LoNCy70EodfQYEySIlAUbrvSCYaSooYagWYOSxOKrMPBS2JeHzDwJN6NKMtcCKUkOA4cFiF4CkHTTQ2cEAGgAejqTUqT6sAug2BwJoKp7mEuIJ4phfaNJhIJvsKgYDp+Dwwt6f7NvBgR-uGwLRVbHAJsO1tcqRgROXlWpaChQoZPtVtMARfzVkbKg-LAdDUDJhGKwAdRlNQAGslRZNZTUstRlRleV5W5JVaAAezKQYZGxPJoAJiXJalzBOW88BZfJwRpk8AXWyxIR8BKaB1MQGB1d8RC6EF3ZwA1pFdegCA+3AXXaAwK5LDgWinfuWoFUkWyjQVOlzO1BcHloIA|extensive Simulation]] will be analyzed again.
==== The reference values efficiency and utilisation rate ====
In order to understand the lower diagram in , the definition equations of the two reference quantities shall be described here again:
The **efficiency** $\eta$ describes the delivered power (consumer power) in relation to the supplied power (power of the ideal source):
\begin{align*}\eta = {{P_{down}}\over{P_{up}} = {{R_L\cdot I_L^2}\over{(R_L+R_i) \cdot I_L^2}}
\quad \Rightarrow \quad \boxed{ \eta = {{R_L}\over{R_L+R_i}} }
\end{align*}
The **efficiency** $\varepsilon$ describes the delivered power in relation to the maximum possible power of the ideal source. Here, the currently supplied power is not assumed (as in the case of efficiency), but the best possible power of the ideal source, i.e. in the short-circuit case:
\begin{align*}\varepsilon = {{P_{down}}\over{P_{to,max}} = {{R_L\cdot I_L^2}\over{{U_0^2}\over{R_i}} = {{R_L\cdot R_i \cdot I_L^2} \over {U_0^2}} = {{R_L\cdot R_i \cdot \left({{U_0}\over{R_L+R_i}}\right)^2} \over {U_0^2}}
\quad \Rightarrow \quad \boxed{\varepsilon = {{R_L\cdot R_i } \over {(R_L+R_i)^2}} = {{R_L} \over {(R_L+R_i)}}\cdot {{R_i} \over {(R_L+R_i)}}
\end{align*}
In __power engineering__ a situation close to (1.) in is desired: maximum power output with lowest losses at the internal resistance of the source. Thus, the internal resistance of the source should be low compared to the load $R_L \gg R_i $. The efficiency should go towards $\eta \rightarrow 100\%$.
In __communications engineering__, one situation is different and corresponds to situation (2.): The maximum power is to be taken from the source, without consideration of the losses via the internal resistance. For this purpose, the internal resistance of the source (e.g., a receiver) and the load (e.g., the downstream evaluation) are matched. This case is called **{wpde>power matching| power matching or resistance matching}}**. The utilization factor here becomes maximum: $\varepsilon = 25\%$
The power adjustment is also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJLlXUD6CsM|hier]] explained again in a video.====== sample solution winter semester 2020/2021 ======

- Capacitor in IC's --> MOSFET
- Charge / discharge FET capacitor.
.
{{drawio>CapacitorInElectricCircuit}} \\
At the previous chapter the capacitor was already described. It consists of two insulated conductors separated by an insulator (cf. ). \\
They serve as energy storage. This is done in the following manner:
- An external source draws charge carriers from one of the electrodes and carries them to the other electrode.
- If the external source is a voltage source with the voltage $U$, a stationary state is reached after a certain time. \\ In this state there is a fixed number of $+Q$ on the positive electrode and $-Q$ on the negative electrode.
- These charges form an electric field in the space between the electrodes. This field stores the supplied energy.
It is true that the larger the voltage $U$, the more charges $Q$ are stored on the electrode.
This relationship is directly proportional to the proportionality constant $C$:
\begin{align*}
C = {{Q}\over{U}} \quad \text{with:} \quad [C]=1 {{As}\over{V}}= 1 F = 1\; Farad
\end{align}
But it is not always directly recognizable that a structure contains a capacitor. \\ So the following examples are also capacitors:
* **open switch**: If there is voltage between the two metal parts, charges can also accumulate there. \ Since the distances are usually large and air is used as the dielectric, the capacitance of the capacitor formed in this way is very small.
* **Overhead line**: An overhead line also represents a capacitor against the ground potential of the earth. The charging and discharging by the alternating current leads to the fact that polarizable molecules can align themselves. For example, the water drops near the line are rolled through the field and hum with $100Hz$ and many times that (harmonics). Peak discharge results in the high frequency crackle.
* **Conductor Trace**: A trace on a PCB can also be a capacitor against a nearby ground plane. This can be a problem for digital signals (see charge and discharge curves below).
* **Human Body**: The human body can likewise pick up charge. The charge thus absorbed forms a capacitor with respect to other objects. This can be charged up to some $kV$. This is a particular problem in electrical laboratories, as the mere touching of components can destroy them.
* **Membrane of nerve cells**: Nerve cells also result in a capacitor due to the lipid bilayer (membrane of the nerve cell) and the two cellular fluids with different electrolytes (ions). The nerve cells are surrounded by a thick layer (myelin layer) for faster transmission. This lowers the capacitance and thus increases the successive charging of successive parts of the nerve cell. In diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob or multiple sclerosis, this layer thins out. This leads to delayed signal transmission which characterizes the disease patterns.
{{drawio>CircuitDischargeCurve}} \\
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. The resulting series of resistor and capacitor is called a **RC element**. It resembles a voltage divider in which a resistor has been replaced by a capacitor. \\
To start the loading, an (ideal) switch $S$ is inserted.
The circuit to be considered then looks like shown in . \\
An ideal switch is characterized by:
* infinitely fast switching
* resistance of $0\Omega$ in closed state ("short circuit")
* resistance $\rightarrow \infty$ in open state ("open line")
* no capacitive effect
In this chapter also time-varying quantities are considered. These are generally marked with small letters. Examples of time-varying quantities are:
* A **time-varying voltage $u_C(t)$ across a capacitor** or the **voltage $u$ of an ac voltage source** as opposed to a constant voltage $U_q$ across a constant voltage source.
* A **time-varying current $i_L(t)$ across a coil** or **time-varying current $i_L(t)$ across a capacitor**.
Since the time dependence is already clear from the small letter, these quantities are occasionally not indicated by the trailing $(t)$. So it is $u = u(t)$.
===== 7.1 Time course of the charging and discharging process =====
=== Goals ===
After this lesson, you should:
- know the time constant $\tau$ and in particular be able to calculate it.
- Be able to determine the time characteristic of the currents and voltages at the RC element for a given resistance and capacitance.
- know the continuity conditions of electrical quantities.
- know when (=according to which measure) the capacitor is considered to be fully charged / discharged, i.e. a steady state can be considered to have been reached.

In the simulation on the right you can see the circuit mentioned above in a slightly modified form:
* The capacitance $C$ can be charged via the resistor $R$ if the toggle switch $S$ connects the DC voltage source $U_q$ to the two.
* But it is also possible to short-circuit the rich circuit of $R$ and $C$ via the switch $S$.
* Furthermore the current $i_C$ and the voltage $u_C$ are displayed in the oscilloscope as data points over time and in the circuit as numerical values.
* Additionally it is possible to change the capacitance value $C$ and resistance value $R$ with the sliders ''Capacitance C'' and ''Resistance R''.
Tasks:
- Become familiar with how the capacitor current $i_C$ and capacitor voltage $u_C$ depend on the given capacitance $C$ and resistance $R$. \\ To do this, use for $R=\{ 10\Omega, 100\Omega, 1k\Omega\}$ and $C=\{ 1\mu F, 10 \mu F\}$. How fast does the capacitor voltage $u_C$ increase in each case n?
- Which quantity ($i_C$ or $u_C$) is continuous here? Why must this one be continuous? Why must the other quantity be discontinuous?
\\
At the following, this circuit is divided into two separate circuits, which consider only charging and only discharging.
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
{{drawio>CircuitDischargeCurve2}} \\
To understand the charging process of a capacitor, an initially uncharged capacitor with capacitance $C$ is to be charged by a DC voltage source $U_q$ via a resistor $R$.
* In order that the voltage $U_q$ acts at a certain time $t_0 = 0 s$ the switch $S$ is closed at this time.
* Directly after the time $t_0$ the maximum current ("charging current") flows in the circuit. This is only limited by the resistor $R$. The uncharged capacitor has a voltage $u_C(t_0)=0V$ at that time. The maximum voltage $u_R(t_0)=U_q$ is applied to the resistor. The current is $i_C(t_0)={{U_q}\over{R}}$.
* The current causes charge carriers to flow from one electrode to the other. Thus the capacitor is charged and its voltage increases $u_C$.
* Thus the voltage $u_R$ across the resistor is reduced and so is the current $i_R$.
* With the current thus reduced, less charge flows on the capacitor.
* Ideally, the capacitor is not fully charged to the specified voltage $U_q$ until $t \rightarrow \infty$. It then carries the charge: $q(t \rightarrow \infty)=Q = C \cdot U_q$
The process is now to be summarized in detail in formulas. \\
Linear components are used in the circuit, i.e. the component values for the resistor $R$ and the capacitance $C$ are independent of the current or the voltage. \\
Then definition equations for the resistor $R$ and the capacitance $C$ are also valid for time-varying or infinitesimal quantities:
\begin{align*}
R = {{u_R(t)}\over{i_R(t)}} = {{du_R}\over{di_R}} = const. \\
C = {{q(t)}\over{u_C(t)}} = {{dq}\over{du_C}} = const. \tag{7.1.1}
\end{align*}
The following explanations are also well explained in these two videos on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml3d3_WnuRE|loading]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAFeYmi4WUk|unloading]].
==== Charging a capacitor at time t=0 ====
By considering the mesh, the general result is: the voltage of the source is equal to the sum of the two voltages across the resistor and capacitor.
\begin{align*}
U_q =u_R + u_C = R \cdot i_C + u_C \tag{7.1.2}
\end{align*}
At the first instant $dt$, an infinitesimally small charge "chunk" $dq$ flows through the circuit driven by the current $i_C$ from the voltage source. \\
For this, $(7.1.1)$ gives:
\begin{align*}
i_C = {{dq}\over{dt}} \quad \text{and} \quad dq = C \cdot du_C
\end{align*}
The charging current $i_C$ can be determined from the two formulas:
\begin{align*}
i_C = C \cdot {{du_C}\over{dt}} \tag{7.1.3}
\end{align*}
Thus $(7.1.2)$ becomes:
\begin{align*}
U_q &=u_R + u_C \\
&= R \cdot C \cdot {{du_C}\over{dt}} + u_C
\end{align*}
--> here follows some mathematics: #
This result represents a 1st order differential equation. \\
This should generally be rewritten so that the part that depends (on the variable) is on one side and the rest is on the other. \\
This is already present here. The appropriate approach to such a problem is:
\begin{align*}
u_C(t) = \mathcal{A} \cdot e^{\mathcal{B}\cdot t} + \mathcal{C}
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
U_q &= R \cdot C \cdot {{d}\over{dt}}(\mathcal{A} \cdot e^{\mathcal{B}\cdot t} + \mathcal{C}) + \mathcal{A} \cdot e^{\mathcal{B}\cdot t} + \mathcal{C} \\
&= R \cdot C \cdot \mathcal{AB} \cdot e^{\mathcal{B}\cdot t} + \mathcal{A} \cdot e^{\mathcal{B}\cdot t} + \mathcal{C} \\
U_q - \mathcal{C} &= ( R \cdot C \cdot \mathcal{AB} + \mathcal{A} ) \cdot e^{\mathcal{B}\cdot t} \\
\end{align*}
This equation must hold for every $t$. This is only possible if the left as well as the right term become equal to 0. \\ Thus:
\begin{align*}
\mathcal{C} = U_q \
R \cdot C \cdot \mathcal{AB} + \mathcal{A} &= 0 \quad \quad | : \mathcal{A} \quad | -1 \
R \cdot C \cdot \mathcal{B} &= - 1 \\
\mathcal{B} &= - {{1}\over{R C}} \\
\end{align*}
So it follows:
\begin{align*}
u_C(t) = \mathcal{A} \cdot e^{\large{- {{t}\over{R C}} }} + U_q
\end{align*}
For the solution it must still hold that at time $t_0=0$ $u_C(t_0) = 0$ just holds:
\begin{align*}
0 &= \mathcal{A} \cdot e^{\large{0}} + U_q \\
0 &= \mathcal{A} + U_q \
\mathcal{A} &= - U_q
\end{align*}
So the solution is:
\begin{align*}
u_C(t) &= - U_q \cdot e^{\large{- {{t}\over{R C}}}} + U_q
\end{align*}
<--
And this results in:
\begin{align*}
u_C(t) &= U_q \cdot (1 - e^{\large{- {{t}\over{R C}}}})
\end{align*}
And with $(7.1.3)$, $i_C$ becomes:
\begin{align*}
i_C(t) &= {{U_q}\over{R}} \cdot e^{\large{- {{t}\over{R C}} } }
\end{align*}
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
In , the two time courses for the charging voltage $u_C(t)$ and the charging current $i_C(t)$ of the capacitor are shown.
{{drawio>Charge Curve}} \\
* There must be a unitless term in the exponent. So $RC$ must also represent a time. \ This time is called **time constant** $\tau =R \cdot C$. \\ \\
* At time $t=\tau$, we get: $u_C(t) = U_q \cdot (1 - e^{- 1}) = U_q \cdot (1 - {{1}\over{e}}) = U_q \cdot ({{e-1}\over{e}}) = 0.63 \cdot U_q = 63\% \cdot U_q $ \ **So the capacitor is charged to $63$% after one $\tau$. \\ \\
* At time $t=2 \cdot \tau$ we get: $u_C(t) = U_q \cdot (1 - e^{- 2}) = 86 \% \cdot U_q = (63 \% + (1-63 \%) \cdot 63 \% ) \cdot U_q$ \\ **So after each additional $\tau$, the uncharged remainder ($1-63 \%$) is recharged to $63\%$**. \\ \\
* **After about $t=5 \cdot \tau$, the result is a capacitor** charged to over $99\%$. \ In real circuits, a charged capacitor can be assumed after $5 \cdot \tau$.
* The time constant $\tau$ can be determined graphically in several ways:
* Plotting the voltage value corresponding to $63\%$ on the y-axis. Finding the point of intersection with the graph. Reading the time (see green lines in ).
* Plotting the tangent to the (voltage) charge curve at the time of the discharged capacitor. \\ This intersects a horizontal line at the level of the charging voltage at the point $t=\tau$ (see black and light blue lines in ).
==== Discharging a capacitor at time t=0 ====
{{drawio>CircuitDischargeCurve3}} \\
The following situation is considered for the discharge:
* A capacitor charged to voltage $U_q$ with capacitance $C$ is short-circuited across a resistor $R$ at time $t=t_0$.
* As a result, the full voltage $U_q$ is initially applied to the resistor: $u_R(t_0)=U_q$
* The initial discharge current is thus defined by the resistance: $i_C ={u_R}\over{R}$
* The discharging charges lower the voltage of the capacitor $u_C$, since: $u_C = {{q(t)}{C}}$
* Ideally, the capacitor is not fully discharged until $t \rightarrow \infty$.
Also this process now is to put into formula in detail.
By looking at the mesh, the general result is: the sum of the two voltages across the resistor and capacitor add up to zero.
\begin{align*}
0 =u_R + u_C = R \cdot i_C + u_C
\end{align*}
This gives $(7.1.3)$:
\begin{align*}
0 =u_R + u_C = R \cdot C \cdot {{du_C}\over{dt}} + u_C
\end{align*}
--> also here uses some mathematics: #
This result again represents a 1st order differential equation. \\
The appropriate approach to such a problem is:
\begin{align*}
u_C(t) = \mathcal{A} \cdot e^{\mathcal{B}\cdot t} + \mathcal{C}
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
0 &= R \cdot C \cdot {{d}\over{dt}}(\mathcal{A} \cdot e^{\mathcal{B}\cdot t} + \mathcal{C}) + \mathcal{A} \cdot e^{\mathcal{B}\cdot t} + \mathcal{C} \\
&= R \cdot C \cdot \mathcal{AB} \cdot e^{\mathcal{B}\cdot t} + \mathcal{A} \cdot e^{\mathcal{B}\cdot t} + \mathcal{C} \\
0 - \mathcal{C} &= ( R \cdot C \cdot \mathcal{AB} + \mathcal{A} ) \cdot e^{\mathcal{B}\cdot t} \\
\end{align*}
This equation must hold for every $t$. This is only possible if the left as well as the right term become equal to 0. \\ Thus:
\begin{align*}
\mathcal{C} = 0 \\ \
R \cdot C \cdot \mathcal{AB} + \mathcal{A} &= 0 \quad \quad | : \mathcal{A} \quad | -1 \
R \cdot C \cdot \mathcal{B} &= - 1 \\
\mathcal{B} &= - {{1}\over{R C}} \\
\end{align*}
So it follows:
\begin{align*}
u_C(t) = \mathcal{A} \cdot e^{\large{- {{t}\over{R C}} }}
\end{align*}
For the solution it must still hold that at time $t_0=0$ $u_C(t_0) = U_q$ just holds:
\begin{align*}
U_q &= \mathcal{A} \cdot e^{\large{0}} \\
U_q &= \mathcal{A} \\
\mathcal{A} &= U_q
\end{align*}
<--
.
{{drawio>Discharge Curve}} \\
And this results in:
\begin{align*}
u_C(t) &= U_q \cdot e^{\large{- {{t}\over{\tau}}}} \quad \text{with} \quad \tau = R C
\end{align}
And with $(7.1.3)$, $i_C$ becomes:
\begin{align*}
i_C(t) &= - {{U_q}\over{R}} \cdot e^{\large{- {{t}\over{R C}} } }
\end{align*}
In the two time histories are again shown; this time for the discharge voltage $u_C(t)$ and the discharge current $i_C(t)$ of the capacitor. \\
Since the current now flows out of the capacitor, the sign of $i_C$ is negative.

In the simulation on the right, a periodic switching operation can be seen. The capacitor is periodically charged and discharged via the switch.
Three sliders are given in the simulation to change the resistance $R$ (%%Resistance R%%), the capacity $C$ (%%Capacity C%%) and the frequency $f$ (%%Frequency f%%). \\
In the simulation below, the voltage $u_C$ across the capacitor is shown in green and the current $i_C$ is shown in yellow.
Tasks:
- Increase the the frequency to $f=10kHz$ using the appropriate slider. What is the change for $u_C$ and $i_C$?
- Now increase the capacitance to $C=10 \mu F$ using the corresponding slider. What is the change for $u_C$ and $i_C$?
- Now increase the resistance to $R= 1 k\Omega$ using the corresponding slider. What is the change for $u_C$ and $i_C$?

===== 7.2 Energy of a capacitor =====
=== Goals ===
After this lesson, you should:
- Be able to calculate the energy content in a capacitor.
- Be able to calculate the change in energy of a capacitor resulting from a change in voltage between the capacitor terminals.
- Be able to calculate (initial) current, (final) voltage and charge when balancing the charge of several capacitors (also via resistors).
{{drawio>CircuitDischargeCurve2}} \\
Now the capacitor as energy storage is to be looked at more closely. This derivation is also explained in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je40ruFNKig|this youtube video]]. For this we consider again the circuit in an.
According to the chapter [[Basics and Basic Concepts#Determination_of_electrical_power_in_the_DC_circuit|Basics and Basic Concepts]], the power for constant values (DC) is defined as:
\begin{align*}
P={{{delta W}\over{{{delta t}} = U \cdot I
\end{align*}
For variable signals, the instantaneous power is given as:
\begin{align*}
p={dw}\over{dt}} = u \cdot i
\end{align*}
=== Energy consideration of the capacitor ===
Charging the capacitor at time $t_0 = 0$ results in $\Delta W = \Delta W_C$ for the stored energy at a later time $t_1 =t$:
\begin{align*}
\delta W_C = \int_{t_0}^{t_1} dw = \int_{0}^t u \cdot i \cdot dt = \int_{0}^t u_C \cdot i_C dt \tag{7.2.1}
\end{align*}
During the charging process
\begin{align*}
u_C(t) = U_q\cdot (1 - e^{ - {{t}\over{\tau}} }) \\
i_C(t) = {{U_q}\over{R}} \cdot e^{ -{t}\over{\tau}} } \tag{7.2.2}
\end{align}}
In particular:
\begin{align*}
C = {{q(t)}\over{u_C(t)}} \quad &\rightarrow \quad &q(t) &= {u_C(t)}\cdot{C} \\
i_C(t) = {{d q(t)}\over{dt}} \quad &\xrightarrow{C=const} \quad &i_C(t) &= C \cdot {{d u_C(t)}\over{dt}}
\end{align*}
Thus, the stored energy from formula $(7.2.1)$:
\begin{align*}
\delta W_C &= \int_{0}^t u_C(t) \cdot C \cdot {{d u_C(t)}\over{dt}} dt \quad & | \text{ substitution of integration variable: } t \rightarrow u_C\\\
&= \int_{U_0}^{U_1} u_C(t) \cdot C \cdot du_C \quad & | \text{ Since the capacity is constant, it can be written before the integral}\
&= C \cdot \int_{U_0}^{U_1} u_C \, d u_C \
&= C \cdot \left[{{1}\over{2}} u_C^2 \right] _{U_0}^{U_1} \\
\end{align*}
\begin{align}
\boxed{\delta W_C= {{1}\over{2}} C \cdot (U_1^2-U_0^2)} \tag{7.2.3}
\end{align*}
Thus, for a fully discharged capacitor ($U_q=0V$), the energy stored when charging to voltage $U_q$ is $\delta W_C={{1}\over{2}} C \cdot U_q^2$.
=== Energy consideration of resistance ===
The converted energy can also be determined for the resistance:
\begin{align*}
\delta W_R = \int_{0}^t u_R \cdot i_R dt = \int_{0}^t R \cdot i_R \cdot i_R dt = R \cdot \int_{0}^t i_R^2 dt
\end{align*}
Since the current through the capacitor $i_C$ is equal to that through the resistor $i_R$, it follows via $(7.2.2)$:
\begin{align*}
\Delta W_R &= R \cdot \int_{0}^t \left( { {U_q}\over{R}} \cdot e^ { -{t}\over{\tau}} \right)^2 dt \
&= { {U_q^2}\over{R}} \cdot \int_{0}^t e^ { -{2 \cdot t}\over{\tau}} dt \\
&= { {U_q^2}\over{R}} \cdot \left[ -{{\tau }\over{2}} \cdot e^ { -{2 \cdot t}\over{\tau}} \right]_{0}^t \quad & | \text{with } \tau = R \cdot C \.
&= -{{1}\over{2}} \cdot {U_q^2}\cdot{C} \cdot \left[ e^ { -{{2 \cdot t}\over{\tau}} \right]_{0}^t \\
\end{align}}
For $t \rightarrow \infty$ we get:
\begin{align*}
\delta W_R &= -{{1}\over{2}} \cdot {U_q^2}\cdot{C} \cdot \left[ e^ { -{{2 \cdot t}\over{\tau}} \right]_{0}^{\infty} \\
&= -{{1}\over{2}} \cdot {U_q^2}\cdot{C} \cdot \left[ 0 - 1 \right] \.
\end{align}
\begin{align}
\boxed{ \Delta W_R = {{1}\over{2}} \cdot{U_q^2}\cdot{C}} \tag{7.2.4}
\end{align}}
This means that the energy converted at the resistor is independent of the resistance value (for an ideal constant voltage source $U_q$ and given capacitor $C$)! At first, this doesn't really sound comprehensible. No matter if there is a very large resistor $R_1$ or a tiny small resistor $R_2$: The same waste heat is always produced. \\
Graphically, this apparent contradiction can be resolved like this: A higher resistor $R_2$ slows down the small charge packets $\Delta q_1$, $\Delta q_2$, ... $\Delta q_n$ more strongly. But a considered single charge packet $\Delta q_k$ will nevertheless pass the same voltage across the resistor $R_1$ or $R_2$, since this is given only by the accumulated packets in the capacitor: $u_r = U_q - u_C = U_q - {{q}\over{C}}$.
In real applications, as mentioned in previous chapters, ideal voltage sources are not possible. Thus, without a real resistor, the waste heat is dissipated proportionally to the internal resistance of the source and the internal resistance of the capacitor. The internal resistance of the capacitor depends on the frequency, but is usually smaller than the internal resistance of the source.
=== Consideration of total energy expenditure ===
In the previous considerations, the energy conversion during the complete charging process was also considered. It was found that the capacitor stores the energy $W_C= {{1}\over{2}} \cdot {U_q^2}\cdot{C} $ (see $(7.2.3)$) and at the resistor the energy $W_R= {{1}\over{2}} \cdot {U_q^2}\cdot{C} $ (see $(7.2.4)$) into heat. So, in total, the voltage source injects the following energy:
\begin{align*}
\delta W_0 &=\delta W_R + \delta W_C = {U_q^2}\cdot{C}
\end{align*}
This also follows via $(7.2.1)$:
\begin{align*}
\Delta W_0 &= \int_{0}^{\infty} u_0 \cdot i_0 \cdot dt \quad | \quad u_0 = U_q \text{ is constant because constant voltage source!} \\
&= U_q \cdot \int_{0}^{\infty} i_C dt \
&= U_q \cdot \int_{0}^{\infty} {{dq}\over{dt}} dt \
&= U_q \cdot \int_{0}^Q dq = U_q \cdot Q \quad | \quad \text{where } Q= C \cdot U_q \\
&= U_q^2 \cdot C \
\end{align*}
This means that only half of the energy emitted by the source is stored in the capacitor! Again, this doesn't really sound comprehensible at first. Again, it helps to look at small packets of charge that have to be transferred from the ideal source to the capacitor. \ shows current and voltage waveforms across the capacitor and the stored energy for different resistance values. There, too, it can be seen that the maximum stored energy (dashed line in the figure at right) is given by $\Delta W= {{1}\over{2}} alone. U_q^2 \cdot C = {{1}\over{2}} \cdot (5V)^2 \cdot 1 \mu F = 12.5 \mu Ws$ is given.

This can also be tested in the following simulation. In addition to the RC element shown so far, a power meter and an integrator are also drawn in here. It is possible to display the instantaneous power and the stored energy. Via the slider %%Resistance R%% the resistance value can be varied. The following values are shown in the oscilloscopes:
* left: Current $u_C$ and voltage $i_C$ at the capacitor.
* middle: Instantaneous power $p_C = u_C \cdot i_C$ of the capacitor.
* right: stored energy $w_C = \int u_C \cdot i_C \; dt$ of the capacitor

On the right you see a simulation containing the two capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$.
At the beginning $C_1$ is charged to $10V$ and $C_2$ to $0V$. With the switches $S_1$ and $S_2$ you can choose whether
- the capacitances $C_1$ and $C_2$ are shorted, or
- the capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ are connected via resistor $R$.
On the right side of the simulation there are some additional "measuring devices" to calculate the stored potential energy from the voltages across the capacitors. \\
In the following, the charging and discharging of a capacitor is to be explained with this construction.
~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~~CLEARFIX~~
Under the electrical structure, the following quantities are shown over time:
^ Voltage $u_1(C_1)$ of the first capacitor ^ Voltage $u_2(C_2)$ of the second capacitor ^ Stored energy $w_1(C_1)$ ^ Stored energy $w_2(C_2)$ ^ Total energy $\sum w$ ^
| Initially charged to $10V$ | Initially neutrally charged ($0V$) | Initially holds: \w_1(C_1)= {1 \over 2} \cdot C \cdot U^2 = {1 \over 2} \cdot 10\mu F \cdot (10V)^2 = 500\mu W$ \In the oscilloscope, $1V \sim equals 1W$ | Initially, $w_2(C_2)=0$ , since the capacitor is not charged. | The total energy is $w_1 + w_2 = w_1$|
The capacitor $C_1$ has thus initially stored the full energy and via a closing of the switch $S_2$ one would expect a balancing of the voltages and an equal distribution of the energy $w_1 + w_2 = 500\mu W$.
- Close the switch $S_2$ (the toggle switch $S_1$ should point to the switch $S_2$). What do you find?
- What do the voltages $u_1$ and $u_2$ do?
- What the energies and the total energy? \ How is this understandable with the previous total energy?
- Open $S_2$ - the changeover switch $S_1$ should not be changed. What do you find?
- What do the voltages $u_1$ and $u_2$ do?
- What the energies and the total energy? \\ How is this understandable with the previous total energy?
- Repeat 1. and 2. several times. Can anything be deduced regarding the distribution of the energy?
- Change the switch $S_2$ to the resistor. What do you observe?
- What do the voltages $u_1$ and $u_2$ do?
- What the energies and the total energy? \\ How is this understandable with the previous total energy?

====== 1. The magnetostatic field ======
===== 1.1 Magnetic phenomena =====
=== Targets ===
After this lesson you should:
- Know that forces act between magnetic poles and know the direction of the forces.
- Know that a magnetic field is formed around a current-carrying conductor.
- be able to sketch the field lines of the magnetic field. Know the direction of the field and where the field is densest.
==== Effects around permanent magnets ====
{{drawio>electrical engineering_2:iron ore}}
First permanent magnets made of magnetic ironstone ($Fe_{3} O_{4}$) were found in Greece in the region around Magnesia. Besides the iron materials, other elements also show a similar "strong and permanent magnetic force effect", which is also called ferromagnetism after iron: Cobalt and nickel, as well as many of their alloys, also exhibit such an effect. Chapter [[#1.5 Matter in the magnetic field]] describes the subdivision of magnetic materials in detail.
Here now the "magnetic force effect" is to be looked at more near. For this purpose, a few thought experiments are carried out with a magnetic iron stone ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmmmwLuc2ns|This video]] gives a similar introduction).
- From the iron ore should now first be separated a handy elongated part. If one is lucky, the found iron ore is already magnetic by itself. This case will be considered in the following. The elongated piece is now to be cut into two small pieces.
- As soon as the two pieces are removed from each other, one notices that the two pieces attract each other again directly at the cut surface.
- If one of the two parts is turned (the upper part in the picture on the right), a repulsive force acts on the two parts.
So it seems that there is a directed force around each of the two parts. If you dig a little deeper you will find that this force is focused on one part of the outer surface.
Of course you already know magnets and also know that there are poles. The considered thought-experiment shall clarify, how one could have proceeded at an unknown appearance. In further thought experiments, such magnet iron stones can also be cut into other directions and the forces analysed.
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
The result here is:
- There are two poles. These are called the north pole and the south pole. The north pole is coloured red, the south pole green.
- Poles with the same name repel each other. Unequal poles attract each other. This is similar to the electric field (opposite charges attract).
- So magnets experience a force in the vicinity of other magnets.
- A compass is a small rotating "sample" magnet and is also called a magnetic needle. This sample magnet can thus represent the effect of a magnet. This is also similar to the sample charge of the electric field.
- The naming of the magnetic poles was done by the part of the compass which points to the geographic north pole. The reason for this is that the magnetic south pole is found at the geographic north pole.
- Magnetic poles are not isolatable. Even the smallest fraction of a magnet shows either no magnetism, or both north and south poles.
{{drawio>electrotechnology_2:Iron filings}}
An interesting aspect is that even non-magnetised, ferromagnetic materials experience a force effect in the magnetic field. A non-magnetic nail is attracted by a permanent magnet. This even happens independently of the magnetic pole. This also explains the visualization about iron filings (= small ferromagnetic parts), see . Also here there is a force effect and a torque, which aligns the iron filings. The visible field seems to form field lines here.
* Field line images can be visualized by iron filings. Conceptually, these can be understood as a string of sample magnets.
* The **direction of the magnetic field** defined via the sample magnet: The north pole of the sample magnet points in the direction of the magnetic field.
* The **amount of magnetic field** is given by the torque experienced by a sample magnet oriented perpendicular to the field.
* Field lines seem to repel each other (transverse pressure). e.g. visible when the field exits the permanent magnet.
* Field lines attempt to travel as short a path as possible (longitudinal pull).

==== Effects around current-carrying wires ====

In 1820, Christian Ørsted discovered by chance during a lecture that current-carrying conductors also have an effect on a compass. This experiment is illustrated in . A long, straight conductor with a circular cross-section has current $I$ flowing through it. Due to symmetry considerations, the field line pattern must be radially symmetric with respect to the conductor axis. By an experiment with a magnetic needle it can be shown that the field lines form concentric circles.
* If the technical direction of current is considered, the magnetic field lines surround the current in the sense of a right-hand screw. ("right screw rule")
* This rule can also be remembered in another way: If the thumb of the **__r__**right hand points in the (technical) st**__r__**om direction, the fingers of the hand surround the conductor like the magnetic field lines. Likewise, if the thumb of the **__l__**left hand points in the E**__l__**ectron flow direction, the fingers of the hand surround the conductor like the magnetic field lines.

After this lesson, you should:
- know the two field-describing quantities of the magnetic field.
- be able to describe and apply the relationship between these two quantities.
==== Simulation and superposition of the magnetostatic field ====
Superposition of magnetic fields (only until 04:08).
{{youtube>qAOfVXJMxk8?end=248}}
Before the magnetic field strength will be considered in more detail, the simulation and superposition of the magnetic field will be discussed in more detail here.
Magnetostatic fields can be superposed, just like electrostatic fields. This allows the fields of several current-carrying lines to be combined into a single one.
This trick is used in the following chapter to examine the magnetic field in more detail.

On the right side the magnetic field of a single current-carrying conductor is shown. This was already derived at the previous chapter by symmetry considerations. The representation in the simulation can be simplified a bit here to see the conditions more clearly: Currently, the field lines are displayed in 3D, which is done by selecting "Display: Field Lines" and "No Slicing". If you change the selection to "Show Z Slice" instead of "No Slicing", you can switch to a 2D display. In this display, small compass needles can also show the magnetic field. To do this, select "Display: Field Vectors" instead of "Display: Field Lines". In addition, a "magnetic sample", i.e. a moving compass, can be found at the mouse pointer in the 2D display.

If there is another current-carrying conductor near the first conductor, the fields overlap. In the simulation on the right, the current of both conductors is directed in the same direction. The field between the conductors overlaps just enough to weaken. This can also be deduced by previous knowledge, if just the middle point between both conductors is considered: There the right hand rule results for the left conductor a vector directed towards the observer. For the right conductor results a vector directed away from the observer. These just cancel each other out. Further outward field lines go around both conductors. North- and south-poles here are not fix localized towards outside.

If, on the other hand, the current in the second conductor is directed in the opposite direction to the current in the first conductor, the picture changes: Here there is a reinforcing superposition between the two conductors.
Using the nomenclature from the previous chapter, it is also possible to assign north and south poles locally. Towards the outside, one pole appears to be located in front of the two conductors and another one behind.
in both simulations, the distances between the conductors can also be changed using the "Line Separation" slider. What do you notice in each case when the two lines are brought close together?

==== Derivation of magnetic field strength (part 1, via toroidal coil) ====

So far the magnetic field was defined quite pragmatically by the effect on a compass.
For a deeper analysis of the magnetic field, the field is now to be considered again - as with the electric field - from __two_ directions.
The magnetic field will also be considered as a "causer field" (a field produced by magnets) and an "acting field" (field acting on a magnet).
This chapter will first discuss the effective magnetic field. For this, it is convenient to consider the effects inside a toroidal coil (= toroidal coil).
This can be seen in . For reasons of symmetry, it is also clear here that the field lines form concentric circles.
In an experiment, a magnetic needle inside the toroidal coil is now to be aligned at right angles to the field lines.
Then the magnetic field will generate a torque which tries to align the magnetic needle in the field direction.
It now follows:
- $M \neq M(\phi)$ : For the same distance from the axis of symmetry, the torque $M$ is independent of the angle $\phi$.
- $M \sim I$ : The stronger the current flowing through a winding, the stronger the effect, i.e. the stronger the torque.
- $M \sim N$ : The greater the number $N$ of windings, the stronger the torque $M$.
- $M \sim {1 \over l}$ : The smaller the mean coil circumference $l$ the greater the torque. The mean coil circumference $l$ is equal to the field line length.
To summarize:
\begin{align}}
M \sim {{I \cdot N}\over{l}}
\end{align*}
The **magnetic field strength** $H$ inside the toroidal coil is given as:
\begin{align}}
\boxed{H ={{I \cdot N}\over{l}} \quad \quad | \quad \text{applies to toroidal coil only}}
\end{align}}
As unit of the **magnetic field strength** $H$ we get $[H] = {{[I]}\over{[l]}}= 1{{A}\over{m}}$
==== Magnetic flux ====
The cause of the magnetic field is the current in the winding of the coil. If this current $I$ and/or the number $N$ of windings is increased, the effect is amplified. To make this easier to handle, we introduce the **magnetic flux leakage**. The magnetic flux $\theta$ is defined as
\begin{align}
\boxed{\theta = N \cdot I}
\end{align*}
The unit of $\theta$ is: $[\theta]= 1A$ (obsoletely called ampere-turn).
Thus the magnetic field strength $H$ of the toroidal coil is given by: $H= {{\theta}\over{l}}$
==== Derivation of the magnetic field strength (part 2, straight conductor) ====
The previous derivation from the toroidal coil is now to be used to derive the field strength around a long, straight conductor. The flux $\theta$ for a single conductor is given by $\theta = N \cdot = 1 \cdot I = I$. For the toroidal coil, the magnetic field strength was given by the flux $\theta$ divided by the (mean) field line length. Because of the (same rotational) symmetry, this is also true for the single conductor.
The length of a field line around the conductor is given by the distance $r$ of the field line from the conductor: $l = l(r) = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot r$. \ For the magnetic field strength of the single conductor we then get:
\begin{align*}
\boxed{H ={{theta}\over{l}} = {{I}\over{2 \cdot \pi \cdot r}} \quad \quad \text{applies only to the long, straight ladder}}
\end{align}
{{fa>pencil?32}}
The current $I = 100A$ flows in a long straight conductor with a round cross-section. The radius of the conductor is $r_{L}= 4mm$.
* What is the magnetic field strength $H_1$ at a point $P_1$, which is __outside__ the conductor at a distance of $r_1 = 10cm$ from the conductor axis?
* What is the magnetic field strength $H_2$ at a point $P_2$, which is __inside__ the conductor at a distance of $r_2 = 3mm$ from the conductor axis?
{{fa>pencil?32}}

Three long straight conductors are arranged in a vacuum so that they lie at the vertices of an equilateral triangle (see ). The radius of the circumcircle is $r = 2 cm$.
What is the magnetic field strength $H$ at the center of the equilateral triangle?
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
In the electric field, the field line density was a measure of the strength of the field. This is also used for the magnetic field. Looking at the simulations in Falstad (below left) with this understanding, one notices an inconsistency: contrary to the relationship just given, the field line density in the Falstad simulation __**not**__ indicates the strength of the field. Below right, a realistic simulation is shown for comparison, which makes the difference clear: the field is stronger near the conductor. Thus the field line density must also be stronger there.

* The density of the field lines is a measure of the field strength.
* The simulation in Falstad cannot represent this in this way. Here the field strength is coded by the color intensity (dark green = low field strength, light green to white = high field strength).
==== Derivation of the magnetic field strength (part 3, generalization) ====
So far, only rotationally symmetric problems could be solved. Now this shall be generalized. For this purpose we will have a look back to the electric field. For the electric field strength $E$ of a capacitor with two plates at a distance of $s$ and the potential difference $U$ holds:
\begin{align*}
U = E \cdot s \quad \quad | \text{applies to capacitor only}
\end{align}
This was extended to $U = \int_s E ds$. If we transform the formula for the magnetic field strength $H$ of a toroidal coil with the mean field line length $l$ for comparison, we get
\begin{align}
\theta = H \cdot l \quad \quad | \quad \text{applies to toroidal coil only}
\end{align*}
Can you see the similarities? Again, the magnitude of the field strength is multiplied by the length to arrive at another field-describing quantity (here, the flux $\theta$). Because of the similarity - which continues below - the so-called **magnetic (circulating) voltage $V_m$** is introduced:
\begin{align*}
V_m = H \cdot s \quad \quad | \text{applies to toroidal coil only}
\end{align*}
Now what is the difference between the magnetic voltage $V_m$ and the flux $\theta$?
- The first equation of the toroidal coil ($\theta = H \cdot l$) is valid for one turn along a field line. In addition, the flux is fixed by current and number of windings: $\theta = N \cdot I$.
- The second equation ($V_m = H \cdot s$) holds independently of the path length $s$ along the field line. If just $s = l$ is chosen, the magnetic voltage equals the magnetic flux.
Thus, for each infinitesimally small path $ds$ along a field line, the resulting infinitesimally small magnetic voltage $dV_m = H \cdot ds$ can be determined. If now along the field line the magnetic field strength $H = H(\vec{s})$ changes, then the magnetic voltage from point $\vec{s_1}$ to point $\vec{s_2}$ results to:
\begin{align*}
V_{m12} = V_m(\vec{s_1}, \vec{s_2}) = \int_\vec{s_1}^\vec{s_2} H(\vec{s}) ds
\end{align*}
Up to now only the situation was considered that one always walks along the same field line. $\vec{s}$ therefore always arrived at the same field line. If one wants to extend this to arbitrary directions (also transverse to field lines), then only that part of the magnetic field strength $\vec{H}$ may be used in the formula, which is parallel to the path $d \vec{s}$. This is made possible by scalar multiplication. Thus, it is generally valid:
\begin{align*}
\boxed{V_{m12} = \int_\vec{s_1}^\vec{s_2} \vec{H} \cdot d \vec{s}}
\end{align*}
* closed ring integral so that $V_m = \theta$

The 2-page DIN A4 formularies for the exams "Electrical Engineering I" and "Electrical Engineering II" have to be handwritten.
_2-sided DIN A4__ means either one DIN A4 page with writing on the front and back, or two DIN A4 pages, each with writing on one side.
The aim of the __handwritten preparation__ is that you think about what should be in your formulary and how. Tip: It is advisable to write the formulary with a soft pencil and to keep it in a transparent envelope. Then changes are easily possible and contamination during exercises is avoided.
Please avoid photocopied or printed formularies, or a formularies with more than 2 pages DIN A4. Since these boundary conditions are examination requirements (which are consistently handled in this way in the faculty), a deviation must be evaluated as an "unauthorized aid" - i.e. the examination must be graded with 5.0.====== 5. Multiphase systems ======
===== 5.0 Preliminary consideration =====
So far, AC current, AC voltage and their effects have been considered on a circuit that had only included a source AC voltage. \\
These circuits can be understood as.
* the sinusoidal alternating voltage is produced by the rotation of a coil in a homogeneous magnetic field, and
* the sinusoidal alternating current is formed by a connected load (or complex impedance).
are formed.
{{drawio>electrotechnology_2:voltagegenerationgenerator}}
This will be briefly illustrated here. In a coil with $w$ windings is seen in a magnetic field with a magnetic flux density $\vec{B}$. The coil rotates - starting from $\alpha_0$ with angular velocity $\omega$. The rotation changes the chained flux $\Psi$ through the coil and thus a voltage $u(t)$ is induced.
For the rotation angle $\alpha$ holds:
\begin{align*}
\alpha(t)=\omega t + \alpha_0 \quad \text{with} \quad \alpha_0=\alpha(t=0) \
\end{align}
Thus, the induced voltage $u(t)$ is given by:
\begin{align*}
u(t) &= \frac{d\Psi}{dt} \\
&= w\cdot\frac{d\Phi}{dt} \\
&= wBA\cdot\frac{d cos \alpha}{dt} \\
&= \hat{\Psi}\cdot\frac{d cos (\omega t + \alpha_0)}{dt} \\
&= -\omega \hat{\Psi}\cdot sin (\omega t + \alpha_0) \
&= -\hat{u}\cdot sin (\omega t + \alpha_0) \
\end{align*}
Such single-phase systems are therefore alternating current systems, which use one outgoing line and one return line each for the current conduction. \\
At a connected load the power was considered. A distinction was made between:
* an active power: $P = UI cos \varphi$, which permanently represents an energy drain from the electrical system.
* a reactive power: $Q = UI sin \varphi$, which describes the "sloshing back and forth" of the energy into the electric and magnetic fields.
In the following, the way to multiphase systems will be described.
===== 5.1 Technical terms of the multiphase system =====
==== General ====
Various general technical terms in the multiphase system will now be briefly discussed.
- A **$m$-phase system** describes a circuit in which $m$ sinusoidal voltages transport the power. The voltages are generated by $m$ coils of the same shape, which are arranged offset to each other by an angle of $\alpha = 2\pi/m$. \ Example: 3-phase systems.
- An $m$ phase system is **symmetrical** if the voltages of the individual phases are offset at the same angle to each other and exhibit the same amplitude. Thus, the voltage pointers $\underline{U}_1 ... \underline{U}_m$ form a symmetrical star. \ Example: 3-phase systems with $\alpha = 120°$.
- First, each coil represents a string which provides 2 potentials. The notion of concatenation now represents the following circumstance:
- If all strings are independently connected to a load, the phase system is called **not chained**.
- If all strands are connected to each other, then the phase system is called **chained**. \ (nbsp) With concatenation, fewer wires are needed. Star or ring circuits can be used for daisy chaining.
- The instantaneous power of a phase is initially variable in time. However, if the instantaneous power $p$ does not change with time, this system is called **balanced**. \\ If a balanced load is used, then $m$ phase systems are balanced with $m\geq3$. Balanced multiphase systems have the lowest conduction cost \\ \\ For $m\geq3$, the following is obtained for the instantaneous voltage: $\quad \quad p = m \cdot U \cdot I \cdot cos\varphi = P$

This gives the three-phase system as advantages over a DC or AC system :
- Simple three-phase machines can be used for generation.
- If a symmetrical load can be assumed, the energy flow is constant in time.
- For energy transport, the voltage can be up-transformed and thus the AC current, as well as the associated waste heat power, can be reduced.
- Rotary field machines can also be simply connected to the load, which converts the electrical energy into mechanical energy.
* If no load is connected, there is no three-phase network or three-phase system, but a three-phase voltage network. The colloquial term of three-phase current is thus not clean.
* The windings are called $U$, $V$, $W$; the winding connections correspondingly: $U1$, $U2$, $V1$, $V2$, $W1$, $W2$.

==== Introduction ====
At the previous chapters it was explained how the "influence of a sinusoidal current flow" of capacitor and inductors look like. To describe this, the impedance was introduced. This can be understood as a complex resistance for sinusoidal excitation.
It applies to the capacitor:
\begin{align*}
\underline{U}_C = \frac{1}{j\omega \cdot C} \cdot \underline{I}_C \quad \rightarrow \quad \underline{Z}_C = \frac{1}{j\omega \cdot C}
\end{align*}
and for the inductance
\begin{align}
\underline{U}_L = j\omega \cdot L \cdot \underline{I}_L \quad \rightarrow \quad \underline{Z}_L = j\omega \cdot L
\end{align*}
Complex impedances can be dealt with in much the same way as ohmic resistances in Electrical Engineering 1 (see: [[electrical_engineering_1:simple_dc_circuits]], [[electrical_engineering_1:linear_sources_and_bipoles]], [[electrical_engineering_1:analysis_of_dc_networks]]). In these transformations, the fraction $ j\omega \cdot$ is preserved.
Circuits with impedances such as inductors and capacitors will show a frequency dependence accordingly.

==== From two-pole to four-pole ====
.
{{drawio>TwoPoleandFourPole}} \\
Until now, components such as resistors, capacitors and inductors have been understood as two-terminal. This is also obvious, since there are only two connections. In the following however circuits are considered, which behave similar to a voltage divider: On one side a voltage $U_E$ is applied, on the other side $U_A$ is formed with it. This results in 4 terminals. The circuit can and will be considered as a four-terminal circuit in the following. But the input and output values will be complex.
For quadripoles, the relation of "what goes out" (e.g. $\underline{U}_A$ or $\underline{U}_2$) to "what goes in" (e.g. voltage $\underline{U}_E$ or $\underline{U}_1$) is important.
Thus, the output and input variables ($\underline{U}_A$) and ($\underline{U}_E$) give the quotient:
\begin{align}
\underline{A} & = \frac {\underline{U}_A}{\underline{U}_E} \\
& \text{with} \; \underline{U}_E = U_E \cdot e^{j \varphi_{uE}} \\
& \text{and} \; \underline{U}_A = U_A \cdot e^{j \varphi_{uA}} \\ \\
\underline{A}& = \frac {\underline{U}_A}{\underline{U}_E} = \frac {U_A \cdot e^{j \varphi_{uA}}{U_E \cdot e^{j \varphi_{uE}} \\
& = \frac {U_A}{U_E}\cdot \cdot e^{j (\varphi_{uA}-\varphi_{uE})} \\
\end{align}
\begin{align}
\boxed{\underline{A} = \dfrac {\underline{U}_A}{\underline{U}_E} = \frac {U_A}{U_E}\cdot e^{j \Delta\varphi_{u}}
\end{align*}
* The complex-valued quotient ${\underline{U}_A}/{\underline{U}_E}$ is called the **transfer function**.
* The frequency-dependent magnitude of the quotient $A(\omega)={{U}_A)}/{U}_E}$ is called **amplitude response** and the angular difference $\delta\varphi_{u}(\omega)$ is called **phase response**.
The frequency behaviour of the amplitude response and the frequency response is not only important in electrical engineering and electronics, but will also play a central role in control engineering.
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
==== RL series connection ====
.
{{drawio>RLRow}} \\
First, a series connection of a resistor $R$ and an inductor $L$ shall be considered (see ). This structure is also called RL-element. \\
Here, $\underline{U}_E= \underline{X_E} \cdot \underline{I}_E$ with $\underline{X}_E = R + j\omega \cdot L$ and corresponding for $\underline{U}_A$:
\begin{align*}
\underline{A} = \dfrac {\underline{U}_A}{\underline{U}_E} = \frac {\omega L}{\sqrt{R^2 + (\omega L)^2}}\cdot e^{j\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - arctan \frac{\omega L}{R} \right)}
\end{align*}
This results in the following for
* the amplitude response: $A = \frac {\omega L}{\sqrt{R^2 + (\omega L)^2}}$ and
* the phase response: $\Delta\varphi_{u} = \frac{\pi}{2} - arctan \frac{\omega L}{R}$
The main focus should first be on the amplitude response. Its frequency response can be derived from the equation in various ways.
- Limit value consideration of the RL arrangement (in the equation and in the system)
- Plotting amplitude and frequency response
- Determination of prominent frequencies
These three points are now to be gone through.
\\ \\
=== Limit value consideration of the RL arrangement ===
For the limit consideration we look at what, happens when the frequency $\omega$ runs to the definition range limits, i.e. $\omega \rightarrow 0$ and $\omega \rightarrow \infty$:
* For $\omega \rightarrow 0$, $A = \frac {\omega L}{\sqrt{R^2 + (\omega L)^2}} \rightarrow 0$ as the numerator approaches zero and the denominator remains greater than zero.
* For $\omega \rightarrow \infty$, $A \rightarrow runs 1$, because in the root in the denominator $(\omega L)^2$ becomes larger and larger in the ratio $R^2$ to . So the root tends to $\omega L$ and thus to the numerator.
It can thus be seen that:
* at small frequencies there is no voltage $U_2$ at the output.
* at high frequencies $A = \frac {U_A}{U_E} = \rightarrow 1$, so the voltage at the output is equal to the voltage at the input.
The RL element shown here therefore only allows large frequencies to pass (= pass through) and small ones are filtered out. The circuit corresponds to a **high pass**. \\
This can also be derived from understanding the components: At small frequencies, the current in the coil and thus the magnetic field changes only slowly. So only a negligibly small reverse voltage is induced. The coil acts like a short circuit at low frequencies. At higher frequencies, the current generated by $U_E$ through the coil changes faster, the induced voltage $U_i = - dI / dt$ becomes large. As a result, the coil inhibits the current flow and a voltage drops across the coil. If the frequency becomes very high, only a negligible current flows through the coil - and hence through the resistor. The voltage drop at $R$ thus approaches zero and the output voltage $U_A$ tends towards $U_E$.
For further consideration, the equation of the transfer function $\underline{A} = \dfrac {\underline{U}_A}{\underline{U}_E}$ is to be rewritten so that it becomes independent of component values. This allows for a generalized representation. This representation is called **normalization**:
\begin{align*}
\underline{A} = \dfrac {\underline{U}_A}{\underline{U}_E} = \frac {\omega L}{\sqrt{R^2 + (\omega L)^2}}\cdot e^{j\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - arctan \frac{\omega L}{R} \right)}
\quad \xrightarrow{\text{normalization}} \quad \quad
\underline{A}_{norm} = \frac {\omega L / R}{\sqrt{1 + (\omega L / R)^2}}\cdot e^{j\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - arctan \frac{\omega L}{R} \right)} = \frac {x}{\sqrt{1 + x^2}} \cdot e^{j\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - arctan x \right)}
\end{align*}
This equation behaves quite the same as the one considered so far.
~~PAGEBREAK~~~CLEARFIX~~~
\\
=== Plotting amplitude and frequency response ===
The transfer function can also be decomposed into amplitude response and frequency response. This can be done by
* the amplitude response double logarithmic and
* the phase response single logarithmic
logarithmically. shows the two plots. On the x-axis, $x = \omega L / R$ has been plotted as the normalization variable. This represents a weighted frequency.
.
.
{{drawio>amplitudephaseresponseRLhighpass}} \\
Here, too, the behavior determined in the limit value observation can be seen: at small frequencies $\omega$ (corresponds to small $x$), the amplitude response tends toward zero. At high frequencies, the ratio $U_A / U_E = 1 $ is established.
Interesting in the phase response is the point $x = 1$.
* Further to the left of this point (i.e. at smaller frequencies) a tenfold increase of the frequency $\omega$ produces a tenfold increase of $U_A / U_E$.
* Further to the right of this point (i.e. at higher frequencies) $U_A / U_E = 1$ remains.
So this point marks a limit. Far to the left, the ohmic resistance is significantly greater the amount of impedance of the coil: $R >> \omega L$. \ far to the right is just the opposite.
The point $x=1$ just marks the cutoff frequency.
It holds
\begin{align}
\underline{A}_{norm} = \frac {x}{\sqrt{1 + x^2}} \cdot e^{j\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - arctan x \right)} = \frac {U_A}{U_E} \cdot e^{j\varphi}\quad \quad
\left\{

* The **cutoff frequency** for high-pass and low-pass filters is the frequency at which the ohmic resistance just equals the value of the impedance.
* The cutoff frequency separates a range in which the filter allows signals through from one in which they are suppressed (=blocked).
* At the cutoff frequency, the phase $\varphi = 45°$ and the amplitude $A = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
These statements apply to single-stage passive filters, i.e. one RL or one RC element. Multistage filters are considered in circuit engineering.
The cut-off frequency in this case is given by:
\begin{align*}
R &= \omega L \\
\omega_{Gr} &= \frac{R}{L} \\
2 \pi f_{Gr} &= \frac{R}{L} \quad \rightarrow \quad
\boxed{f_{Gr} = \frac{R}{2 \pi \cdot L}}

So far, only one variant of the RL element has been considered, namely the one where the output voltage $\underline{U}_A$ is tapped at the inductance. Here we will briefly discuss what happens when the two components are swapped.
In this case, the normalized transfer function is given by:
\begin{align*}
\underline{A}_{norm} = \frac {1}{\sqrt{1 + (\omega L / R)^2}}\cdot e^{-j arctan \frac{\omega L}{R} }
\end{align*}
The cutoff frequency is again given by $f_{Gr} = \frac{R}{2 \pi \cdot L}$.

Now a voltage divider is to be constructed by a resistor $R$ and a capacity $C$. Quite similar to the previous chapters, the transfer function can also be determined here.
Here results as normalized transfer function:
\begin{align*}
\underline{A}_{norm} = \frac {\omega RC}{\sqrt{1 + (\omega RC)^2}}\cdot e^{\frac{\pi}{2}-j arctan \omega RC }
\end{align*}
In this case, the normalization variable $x = \omega RC$. Again, the cutoff frequency is determined by equating $R$ and the magnitude of the impedance of the capacitance:
\begin{align*}
R &= \frac{1}{\omega_{Gr} C} \\
\omega_{Gr} &= \frac{1}{RC} \\
2 \pi f_{Gr} &= \frac{1}{RC} \quad \rightarrow \quad

Again, the voltage at the impedance is to be used as the output voltage. This results in a low-pass filter.
Here results as normalized transfer function:
\begin{align*}
\underline{A}_{norm} = \frac {1}{\sqrt{1 + (\omega RC)^2}}\cdot e^{-j arctan \omega RC }

Also, the cutoff frequency is given by $f_{Gr} =\frac{1}{2 \pi\cdot RC}$

==== RLC - Series Resonant Circuit ====
.
{{drawio>circuit of the series resonant circuit}} \\
If a resistor $R$, a capacitor $C$ and an inductance $L$ are connected in series, the result is a series resonant circuit. In this case the output voltage is not clearly defined. It must be considered in the following how the voltages behave across the individual components.
The total voltage (= input voltage $U_E$) results to:
\begin{align}
\underline{U} = \underline{U}_R + \underline{U}_L + \underline{U}_C
\end{align}
Since the current in the circuit must be constant, the total impedance can be determined here in a simple way:
\begin{align}
\underline{U} &= R \cdot \underline{I} + j \omega L \cdot \underline{I} + \frac {1}{j\omega C } \cdot \underline{I} \\
\underline{U} &= \left( R + j \omega L - j \cdot \frac {1}{\omega C } \right) \cdot \underline{I} \\
\underline{Z}_{ges} &= R + j \omega L - j \cdot \frac {1}{\omega C }
\end{align*}
As the magnitude of the (input) voltage $U$ or the (input or total) impedance $Z$ and the phase result to:
\begin{align*}
U &= \sqrt{U_R^2 + (U_Z)^2} = \sqrt{U_R^2 + (U_L - U_C)^2} \\
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
Z &= \sqrt{R^2 + (Z)^2} = \sqrt{R^2 + (\omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C})^2} \\
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
\varphi_u = \varphi_Z &= arctan \frac{\omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C}}{R}
\end{align*}
There are now 3 different situations to distinguish:
* If $U_L > U_C$ the whole setup behaves like an ohmic-inductive load. This is the case at high frequencies.
* If $U_L$ equals $U_C$, the total input voltage $U$ is applied to the resistor. In this case, the total resistance $Z$ is minimal and only ohmic. \\Thus, the current $I$ is then maximal. If the current is maximum, then the responses of the capacitance and inductance - their voltages - are also maximum. This situation is the **resonance case**.
* If $U_L < U_C$ then the whole setup behaves like a resistive-capacitive load. This is the case at low frequencies.
Again, there seems to be an excellent frequency, namely when $U_L = U_C$ or $Z_C = Z_L$ holds:
\begin{align*}
\frac{1}{\omega_0 C} & = \omega L \\
\omega_0 & = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \\
2\pi f_0 & = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}
\rightarrow
\boxed{ f_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}} }
\end{align*}
The frequency $f_0$ is called **resonance frequency**.
^ ^ $\quad$ ^ $f \rightarrow 0$ ^ $\quad$ ^ $f = f_0$ ^ $\quad$ ^ $f \rightarrow \infty$ ^
| voltage $U_R$ \ at the resistor | | $\boldsymbol{0}$ | | $\boldsymbol{U}$ \ since the impedances just cancel | | $ \boldsymbol{0}$ |
| voltage $U_L$ \at the inductor | | $\boldsymbol{0}$ \because $\omega L$ becomes very small | | $\boldsymbol{\omega_0 L \cdot I = \omega_0 L \cdot \frac{U}{R} = \color{blue}{\frac{1}{R}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}\cdot U}$ | | $\boldsymbol{U}$ \ since $\omega L$ becomes very large |
| $\boldsymbol{U}$ \voltage $U_C$ \at the capacitor | | $\boldsymbol{U}$ \because $\frac{1}{\omega C}$ becomes very large | | $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{\omega_0 C} \cdot I = \frac{1}{\omega_0 C} \cdot \frac{U}{R} = \color{blue}{\frac{1}{R}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}\cdot U}$ | | $\boldsymbol{0}$ \because $\frac{1}{\omega C}$ becomes very small |
The calculation in the table shows that in the resonance case, the voltage across the capacitor or inductor deviates from the input voltage by a factor $\color{blue}{\frac{1}{R}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}$. This quantity is called **quality** $Q_S$:
\begin{align*}
\boxed{ Q_S = \frac{U_C}{U} |_{\omega = \omega_0} = \frac{U_L}{U} |_{\omega = \omega_0} = \color{blue}{\frac{1}{R}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}} }
\end{align*}
The quality can be greater than, less than or equal to 1.
* If the quality is very high, the overshoot of the voltages at the impedances becomes very large in the resonance case. This is useful and necessary in various applications, e.g. in an RLC element as an antenna.
* If the Q is very small, overshoot is no longer seen. Depending on the impedance at which the output voltage is measured, a high-pass or low-pass is formed similar to the RC or RL element. However, this has a steeper slope in the blocking range. This means that the filter effect is better.
The reciprocal of the Q is called **attenuation** $d_S$. This is specified when using the circuit as a non-overshooting filter.
\begin{align*}
\boxed{ d_S = \frac{1}{Q_S} = R \sqrt{\frac{C}{L}} }
\end{align*}

--> Introduction to Digital 0 - Explanation of digital, download and installation #
The program can be downloaded directly from [[https://github.com/hneemann/Digital/releases/latest|Github]] as "Digital.zip".
=== German instructions ===
On the above mentioned page you can also find manuals in different languages. All functions are explained in them. But the docu is also already available in "Digital.zip" under the docu folder, so you don't have to download it separately.
=== Tasks ===
Please install Digital. \\ ___ The following tips:
* There is no separate "installer". I.e. you should unzip the zip file to a sensible location. A folder like ''C:\Program Files\Digital'' is recommended.
* The program opens by double-clicking on ''Digital.exe''. If the menu and the icons are too small, it is recommended to open the application via ''Digital_noD3D.exe''.
* Furthermore it is a good idea to put a link on the desktop. This can be done e.g. via drag-and-drop with the right mouse button.

--> Introduction to Digital 1 - Structure of Digital, First Circuit#.
=== Objectives ===
After this lesson you should:
- Know the different component strips in Digital,
- insert components,
- edit the values of components,
- draw connections.
=== Step-by-step 1: The first look ===
{{fundamentals_of_digital:digital_empty.jpg?600}}
- Open the program by double-clicking on ''Digital.exe''.
- You should now see an "empty circuit" in Digital (see ).
- There are several icon areas in the menu bar, these will be used below:
- File selection: New, Open, Save
- Zoom: Auxiliary dialog, Zoom in, Zoom out, Fit.
- Undo, Redo, Delete
- Start simulation, start until stop signal, stop
- Gate step modes
- Test execution
- Below the menu bar is the work area, which is a grid of gray dots.
==PAGEBREAK ==CLEARFIX ==
=== Step-by-step 2: Create input and output ===
The first circuit to be created is an input and an output
- {{basics_of_digitaltechnology:digital_simplecircuit.jpg?600}} To do this, go to ''Components''. There you will find all the necessary components. For now, we only need inputs/outputs. These are located under ''IO''. First select ''Input''
- After that you will see the component marked with a mint-colored circle. Mint-colored circled elements are always marked for moving in the Digital program. Click on any position in the workspace
- Then add an ''Output'' to the right of the input. Here we will present another variant. Click on ''View >> Tree view of components'' (or ''F5''). A column with the different components is then displayed on the left. In this column the output is located under ''IO''. This can be inserted into the work area by drag and drop.
- Both components can be connected with a line. A line can be started from any grid point by left clicking and ended by ''Esc''. A line can also start or end at an output (red dot on a component: - ) or an input (red dot on a component: - ).
- This already creates the first simple circuit (see ). The circuit can be activated by pressing the start icon ''►''. If you have forgotten the connection, or there is another error, an error message appears. After confirming this error, the faulty component is highlighted in red.
- When the circuit is started, input components can be actuated. Existing other components will then also become active. You should test this by pressing the input. Then stop the simulation by pressing the stop icon ''■'' (stopping by ''►'' is also possible). The circuit can now be edited again.
==PAGEBREAK ==CLEARFIX ==
=== Step-by-step 3: Change properties and extend circuit ===
- {{basics_of_digital_technology:digital_properties.jpg?600}} The previous circuit will now be further developed. The goal now is to have a circuit input and output of 8 bits. How a bit/byte is defined is shown in the [[number systems]] chapter. The trivial solution would be to multiply the existing circuit with ''+'', ''+'', ''+''. But here we will present another variant, which transports the 8 bits through a data bus. A data bus is defined as lines that belong together.
- For this purpose, the properties of the input can be changed by right-clicking on it. Here the number of ''Data-Bits'' should be increased to 8 and the ''Designation'' to ''A''. The changes have to be confirmed with ''OK''.
- If now the circuit is started the somewhat cryptic error message appears: ''1 bits are needed, but 8 bits were found. Affected are: Line out''. The connection line and the output are marked. We forgot to set the output to 8 bits...
- To solve this, again not the trivial variant (right click >> change) shall be described, but a slightly different possibility:
- mark everything with ''+''.
- right click
- ''Change data bits''. This option is grayed out though, because the components have different values there. By clicking on the box ''□'' next to data bits, the option can be changed.
- If the circuit is now started, a 0 appears over input, line and output (see ).
- A (left)click on the input now no longer directly changes the value, but opens an input window. In this window numbers can be entered as decimal value (''10''), as binary value (''0b10''), as hexadecimal value (''0x10'') or as octal value (''010''). Pressing Line break (''<↵>'') accepts the value and closes the input window. Clicking Shift + Newline (''<↑><↵>'') accepts only the value. The cursor keys up/down allow the displayed value to be counted up/down.
=== Tasks ===
- Determine the hexadecimal values for 070, 64, 0b01100110.
- Change the output to decimal value display and determine the decimal values for 064, 0x70, and 0b10011001.

===== Online lecture and presence plenary =====
"What do you mean there is only online lecture?"
"Why isn't the lecture still offered alongside the videos?"
Maybe you have asked yourself similar questions too. I'd like to give you a brief introduction here as to why the lecture is offered in this manner.

\begin{align} study =\int_{1.semester}^{7.semester+\varepsilon}literature + interaction \: dt \end{align}
The aim of the course is to be able to handle scientific and technical documents independently and to familiarize yourself with unfamiliar topics by means of textbooks, bibliographical references and (engineering) scientific material. To make this easier for you in the first semester, I offer you the complete German script and additionally compact videos on the content of the script. In the course of your (Bachelor or Master) studies, it is quite possible that you will meet professors who require you to familiarize yourself independently without a script, using only the literature references provided.
However, not everything is eaten as hot as it is cooked. Take advantage of the opportunities that arise. Look for like-minded people, get organised and support each other. Chances are, the person you help in the first semester can in turn support you in higher semesters.

===== Time Management =====
{{::clock_alexas_photos_cc0.jpg?200|}}

([[https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en|CC0 1.0]])
Another reason for missing a lecture is that attendance time is too precious to me. I don't see any advantage in filling the attendance time with the same material you can already find in the script or videos as well.
According to the current SPO, we have 2SWS - that is 16.5h in the current semester - of attendance time available for the fundamentals of digital technology.
If we also wanted to completely cover the material in the context of a blackboard during the attendance time, there would be hardly any time left for your concrete questions and the calculation of tasks.
On the other hand, the given [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Credit_Transfer_System#ECTS-Punkte_.28Credits.29|ECTS points]] result in about 50h to 60h of effort for one student, for the whole course. You are welcome to prepare and follow up the exercises in the lab. However, the exercises are essentially planned as practice and consolidation of the material and accordingly do not have the classical character of a laboratory at the university.
This means that for **1 hour of presence plenary about 3-4 hours of independent preparation and follow-up**. Independent does not have to mean that you do this alone. Use the possibilities to organize yourself in groups and again: **Help others.
- ''Presence time = unique;'' ''videos = replayable;''
- ''if (all == anDerTafel) { timeForQuestions = 0;}''
- ''EffortPerWeek = (50h - 16.5h)/ 11 weeks''
- Help others
---->>
===== Interaction =====
Here's what emerged from a 2017 survey:
- slightly more than half of the students come from Gymnasium. A third come from vocational college and were previously in junior high school or an apprenticeship.
- The breakdown of prior experience in electronics is about 1/3 high, 1/3 medium, and 1/3 low.
- About 10% rated their programming experience as high, 60% as low or very low.
Previously:
* about 50% from high school, about 30% vocational college.
* Prior experience:
* approx. 33% high, 33% medium, 33% low.
* 10% high programming experience, 60% low

This is roughly in line with my assumptions with which I laid out the course. There is no such thing as the standard student who comes into the course with exactly the prior knowledge. On the other hand, there are those among you who already have experience. Some may have already been able and required to show initiative and responsibility. Be aware: The university lives from you! Whether in eRacing, VDI working group, student council or even the lectures / events. Have courage and leave the pig in the basket.

===== tips =====
The following may help you with the Fundamentals of Digital Technology lecture:
.
In addition to assigning you to lab and practice groups, I can also offer you a student-led tutorial. For this I need motivated and interested students who plan the dates and topics independently with the course. As a thank you, I can offer tutors a tutoring contract, which means they would also get a financial reward. Again, the call: **Help others.
In addition, I offer you to send me your important questions already before the plenary session. This gives me an overview of your problems in the current topic and allows me to better prepare the plenary. You are also welcome to give me praise and criticism. If you want to give feedback anonymously, just drop a few lines of text into my inbox (mailboxes between D- and A-building).
If you want direct feedback, it's easier to write me a [[tim.fischer@hs-heilbronn.de|Mail]] directly.
{{::talk.png?100|}}
Source: [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Internet-talk-error.svg|Public Domain]]
Take the opportunity to ask their questions in plenary. As already written, I would be pleased if you could write me the questions already **before**. Then the question-searching in the first minutes is reduced and we have more time for the answers. Also, take the opportunity to shorten the open questions if you know the answer or an easier way - other fellow students who don't know the answer will be grateful for your word. Have courage and speak up. There are no grades in plenary and heads have not been bitten off yet.
{{::notebook_monicore_pixabay_cc0jpg.jpg?200|}}

Whether you use the videos, internet research on the topic, or the script to prepare: In either case, it is a good idea to have a **pen and pad** handy and take notes. Some people like to watch the videos / the script on the bus, while eating, cooking or on the toilet. But: would you do the same in a lecture? Or think of it another way: Your washing machine broke down and as a mechatronics engineer you don't miss the chance to fix it yourself. Unfortunately, you only have a desktop PC with Internet at your disposal. Wouldn't you write down one or two things before you go down to the basement?
The goal of my course should be the consolidation of knowledge. For many, this is done through the application of the material, i.e. through (the) exercise(s). For others, it is through discussion and controversy, i.e. group work and the plenary. Writing down can also support. And for the exams, it won't hurt to have summarized the things that are important to you yourself.

====== At the heart of a computer ======
==== Introduction ====
{{ :Decapped_IC_Travis_Goodspeed.jpg?300|View inside a microcontroller}}
The core of a computer is the processor in which the instructions are executed. This central processing unit (CPU) is also used in microcontrollers, which can be found around us in almost every device: Mobile phones, cars, bank cards, washing machines... Often there are even several microcontrollers built into the devices.
In addition to the command-executing microprocessor (more precisely the {{wpde>Arithmetic-logic unit|arithmetic-logic unit}}), the microcontroller also contains other peripherals such as memory, clock generation, analog-digital converters and much more. This makes it a compact tool for many applications. If you look at the microcontroller under the optical microscope, you will see the picture on the right (). The various peripheral components can be seen in it.
~~CLEARFIX~~ {{ :atmega8-hd_wiki.jpg?300|atmega8-hd_wiki.jpg}}{{ :atmega8-hd_interior.jpg?300|atmega8-hd_interior.jpg}}
However, let us now look at the structure of the processor. The chip shown in and was developed in 1990 by [[https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-history/silicon-revolution/chip-hall-of-fame-atmel-atmega8|two students]] and consists of several tens of thousands of transistors. This chip paved the way to cheap, fast, yet easily programmable controllers, from the fax machine to the hobbyist's basement, and can be found on Arduinoboards, among others. You will get to know and program the ATmega328 - a distant successor with several hundred thousand transistors - in higher semesters.
In the following we will now look at how a simple calculation like $y=a+b$ runs in the calculator.

Ok, now we know at least that the chip consists of many transistors. But how do they work and how can you build something as complex as a processor from them? The exact function is the content of a course in the 2nd and 3rd semester. For digital applications it is sufficient to have a simple picture of a certain type of transistor - the MOSFET - in your head. This has the three connections:
* **S**ource ("source"), the inflow of charge carriers.
**D**rain ("sink"), the drain of the charge carriers
* **G**ate ("gate"), the gatekeeper that controls the passage between source and drain: Is there the correct voltage at the Gate terminal((in fact, it is the voltage between Gate and Source that matters, not just the voltage from the Gate. But more about this in [[elektronische_schaltungstechnik:2_transistoren|Elektronische Schaltungstechnik]]), the connections source and drain are short-circuited, that means a current can flow and the voltage drop between them becomes small.
Two types of MOSFET are important for the following digital circuits:
* one that is __non-conducting__ at the gate at __low__ voltages ($0V$, logic $0$, low, $L$ or false) (__n__-channel MOSFET) and.
* one that is non-conducting at the gate at high voltages ($5V$, logic $1$, High, $H$ or True) (p-channel MOSFET).
In the picture on the right (), you can see the two variants in action when the voltage at the gate just takes the digital voltage values (cf. [[fundamentals_of_digital_engineering:number_systems|video 1 on number_systems]]).
~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~~CLEARFIX~~
Now, it is interesting to note that these two types of transistors are sufficient to build all variants of logical functions. Logical functions combine one or more inputs ($X_1, ... X_n$) in such a way, that every kind of input uniquely leads to an output ($Y_1, ... Y_n$). In circuits, so-called gates correspond to logical functions. They need not be only such simple functions as an AND-gate (logical AND, conjunction, "only if both inputs are true, the output becomes true."). Mathematical operations can also be mapped in this way. To do this, gates must be cleverly combined with each other. In an exercise on [[fundamentals_of_digital_engineering:binaer_logic|binary_logic]], it is shown that all gates can be constructed using NAND or NOR gates. So if we could figure out how to build a NAND or NOR gate from transistors, we could in turn build all gates from that up to addition.

Before the NAND gate is considered, a very simple circuit is to build, which generates the output value $Y(0)=1$ from the digital input value $X=0$ and for $X=1$ correspondingly $Y(1)=0$. So this circuit always negates the input value and is called inverter. For this purpose the two types of transistors are combined similar to a voltage divider or a half bridge. Thus always only one transistor becomes conductive, the other one correspondingly high impedance.
In is also drawn the corresponding circuit with normally open and normally closed switches. It is important for the coming consideration that the logic voltages ($0V$, $5V$) are just switched complementary via the switches. For this reason this technique is also called CMOS-technique: __C__omplementary __MOS__FET. In today's electronics, this technology is used throughout and has completely replaced older variants (e.g. TTL).

From this example, it can be seen how a logical $1$ can become $0$ in mobile phones, vehicle control units and television sets. The shows the realization of this gate in silicon:
* Figure (1) shows the image of a scanning electron microscope, which shows several layers simultaneously. The three circular elements are electrical vias through several layers. In green are the two structures of the MOSFETs, which can act as a "valve" to open the connection up ($5V$) or down ($0V$).
* Picture (2) is a false color picture. In beige is the top conductive layer and in blue is the non-conductive area of the top layer.

So how does the NAND gate work, on which any logic can be built? The concept behind this gate is that the output will only output logic false ($Y=0$) if both inputs are set to logic true ($A=1$ and $B=1$). The gate is shown in above. This must be implemented using the two transistor types addressed. So this structure must be such that:
- only if both inputs switch transistors with $A=1$ and $B=1$ at the same time, $0V$ shall be applied,
- if one of the inputs $A$ or $B$, or both equal 0, $5V$ shall be applied.
The former is possible by connecting the transistors in series at $0V$. These must short the source and drain terminals at a gate voltage of $5V$ (input to logic $1$), so n-channel MOSFETs are required. \ The latter requires a parallel connection of transistors against $5V$. These must short the source and drain with a gate voltage of $0V$. Here, p-channel MOSFETs are used ( below).
The conversion to silicon () again appears somewhat opaque at first glance. Also in this illustration again three pictures are to be seen. In the first picture the transistors are marked green again and also the vias are to be recognized again over white circles. If you take a closer look, you will notice that the via at $5V$ can be reached via the left or right MOSFET. The via at $0V$ can only be reached if both lower MOSFETs are short-circuited. Thus, the setup is consistent with the circuit determined so far. The and are to clarify this again.

How can the NAND gates now be connected in such a way that the arithmetic unit can perform operations such as $y=a+b$? For this purpose, the operation is first considered only for binary values. In order to distinguish binary values from decimal values, they are preceded by $0b$. So the following combinations are possible:
* $0 + 0 = 0$ resp. $0b0 + 0b0 = 0b00$
* $0 + 1 = 1$ or $0b0 + 0b1 = 0b01$
* $1 + 0 = 1$ resp. $0b1 + 0b0 = 0b01$
* $1 + 1 = 2$ resp. $0b1 + 0b1 = 0b10$
It can be seen that only if both inputs are even $1$ the second digit of the bit value is set. This just corresponds to an AND. But as everything is to build out of NAND-gates, a clever interconnection of these gates is needed. For this an inverter-gate is connected to a NAND-gate. The inverter-gate in turn is obtained via a NAND-gate, if both inputs are connected. In this circuit is shown below by the two lower NAND-gates. \\ A circuit can also be found for the first digit of the bit value. How can one come up with these circuits? This is explained in the chapter [[switching networks]].
~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~~CLEARFIX~~
If many inputs or outputs are combined, larger numerical values can be converted. That is, the calculation $3+3$ or in binary $0b\color{green}1\color{violet}{1} + 0b\color{blue}{1}\color{red}{1}$ is broken down to several individual calculations. This is similar to adding by hand by writing the numerical values one below the other and calculating step by step. In this example, $0b\color{violet}{1} + 0b\color{red}{1}$ would need to be calculated first, resulting in $0b\boldsymbol{1}0$. In the next step $0b\color{green}1 + 0b\color{blue}{1}$, the overflow from the previous calculation $0b\boldsymbol{1}$ must also be taken into account. Thus, in principle, numbers of any length can be linked together.
In order to make the numbers more manageable for man and machine, a sensible grouping was set up: 8 binary number values are combined into one byte. This can be read by humans as decimal value $0...255$ or hexadecimal value $0x00 ... 0xFF$ in programs. In the microprocessor these numerical values are always handled as binary values.

====== General ======
* No electronic aids are allowed on the exam (no calculator, mobile phone, laptop)**. Be prepared to do the calculation by hand.
* **Results without derivation will not be marked**.
* Please read the assignment carefully. Work on the assignment in the manner asked (e.g., as gate circuits, with function table, stating the rule of arithmetic).
* **Take the opportunity to prepare documents**. A collection of formulas (e.g. with laws of Boolean algebra) shortens the search in the documents. Furthermore, it is a good idea to equip the script with sticky notes to make searching easier. \ But keep in mind that neither formulary nor script are allowed in the exam.
====== Conversion of the number systems ======
* Please always indicate the number system (e.g. hexadecimal numbers: 0x10, 10H, 10h).
* Conversion from hex to binary or back (1101b <-> Dh) is easiest for one nibble at a time via a table.
* Conversion from hex to binary or back is usually easier than from decimal to either system. Converting from binary to decimal is a bit more involved. If the conversion from decimal to hex and binary is required, then it is almost always easier to first convert the decimal number to a hex number and then to a binary number (55d = 37h = 0011 0111b).
* The decimal places are also combined into nibbles starting from the decimal point.
* Note that the decimal places must also be converted, of course (0.5h ≠ 0.5d !).
====== Simplifying Boolean Expressions ======
* In function tables for gate circuits, for example, columns for intermediate results are useful. Otherwise, if the result is wrong, I cannot trace the intermediate steps and thus cannot award points.
* Shorten logical expressions so far that as few as possible logical connections are needed (often a shortening is still possible over the De Morgan's law, distributive law or the definition of the XOR connection).
* Acquire [[https://youtu.be/2UwxdCLFW70?t=2m43s|this method]] to be able to write binary numbers quickly among each other.
====== Setting up the KNF and DNF======
* Careless errors in setting up the DNF and KNF can be avoided if the same sorting of the inputs is used as in the function table.
* If a minimization of the normal form is required, then you should apply the Boolean laws (see Simplifying Boolean Expressions).
====== KV diagrams ======
===== Creating a KV Diagram =====
* If you are to minimize the Boolean function for many outputs and are faced with a KV diagram for which you have no template, you can proceed as follows: First, create a KV diagram in which you enter only the decimal numbers of the positions. Two coordinates are quickly entered in. The 0 is always in the cell where all inputs are negated (usually top left). The maximum value is always in the cell where all inputs are non-negated (usually in the middle).
===== Reading the prime implicants of a KV diagram =====
- First, determine what is being looked for:
* minterms = conjunctive form = "groups of **0**es" or
* Maxterms = disjunctive form = "groups of **1**en".
- Find the implicants you are looking for (**0**en or **1**en).
- Starting from the implicants, try to form a prime implicant (= area / group with the same binary value) as large as possible. "Don't care" states (marked with "d.c.", "-" or "x") may be considered as a suitable implicant. Note that only certain types of groups are allowed as prime implicants:
* The size of prime implicants can only be a power to the base 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, ...).
* Only straight implicants can be connected, or implicants that are not just adjacent across corners (e.g. ◨, ▣).
- Once you have found all the largest possible prime implicants, then it is necessary to check what dependencies they have on each other. Often there is a constellation of prime implicants that has the fewest terms.
- On the basis of the plotted prime implicants the logical function can be derived in equation form. In general, this can still be simplified (e.g. via definition of the XOR or De Morgan's law).
====== Switching mechanisms / state machines ======
==== Rear derailleur synthesis ====
The following procedure is recommended for every rear derailleur synthesis:
- Careful reading of the specifications
- Determine which specifications already exist, e.g.
* Type of automaton (asynchronous = Mealy automaton, synchronous = Medvedev automaton or Moore automaton)
* type of flip-flops to be used (D-FF, JK-FF, SR-FF, ...)
- Determining the input, state and output variables
- Determine the number of flip-flops required
* for Mealy/Moore automata via the number of different states
* for Medvedev automata via the maximum value to be output
- Drawing up a state transition diagram
* For Mealy and Moore automata, the assignment of state values to output values can be arbitrary.
* For Medvedev automata, the assignment of state to output values is directly specified.
- Creating the state transition table from the state transition diagram
* The column arrangement below is suitable. \\ This puts the inputs and outputs for the different switching networks (transition and output networks) right next to each other. \
^State- \ transition- \ table ^ Current state ^^^ Input value \ of the vending machine ^ Next state ^^^ Output value \ of the vending machine ^^
| **Z2** |**Z1** | **Z0** | **X0** | **Z2'** | **Z1'** | **Z0'** | **Y1** | **Y0** |
| ::: | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| ::: | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| ::: | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| ::: | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| ::: | |||||||||
| \ **Transition Network (ÜNW)** ||||||||||
|input value \ of the ÜNW | current state ||| input value \ of the automat | |||||
|| Output value \ of the OB) | |||| Next state || ||
| \ **output network (ANW)** ||||||||||
|Input value \ of the ANW | Current state || only for Mealy: | Input Value | |||||
|output value of the ANW | |||||||output value| of the automaton|
* *) The output value of the transition network is only the next state if the switch mechanism is implemented on DD flip-flops. If the switch network is not implemented on D-FF, a conversion to FF input values must be considered.
- From the transition network and output network columns, the KV diagrams for the respective switching networks can be created. ====== 1. Number systems ======

====== 0.Aid ======
In the following you will get to know two simulation tools. With these you can reconstruct circuits and display their voltages and currents. This is particularly important for understanding circuits with operational amplifiers and transistors.
==Why two simulation tools?==
* For learning and understanding, on the one hand, it is important that you get a feeling for how currents and voltages are set in circuits.
* On the other hand, you should practice using professional tools that enable high-quality simulations.
The former tools should allow for easy visualization. The latter tools tend to be a bit harder to use, but allow more complex circuits and more detailed measurements.
For high-quality simulation, you will use the free TINA TI program below. The illustration of the concepts allows the online simulation of Falstad.

===== 0.1 First steps in TINA TI =====
TINA is a SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) program from Texas Instruments. With this you can reconstruct electronic circuits and map the time sequence. This is very useful for learning and testing.

====== 1. Basics of amplifiers ======
{{drawio>OverviewElectronics}}
===== 1.0 What is electronic circuitry =====
Electronic circuit technology comprises various subareas of electronics.
In the basics of electronics, its specializations and the interfaces addressed are presented.
\\ \\ \\
In [[Fundamentals of Digital Technology:start]], digital technology with gates and various simple programmable circuits have already been described. In [[Electrical Engineering 1:start]] and [[Electrical Engineering 2:start]] the basics of simple electrical components and circuits were laid.
\\ \\ \\
Electronic circuitry now focuses on __electr**on**ic components and their circuits__, which pertains to analog electronics.
\\ \\ \\
These components and circuits often connect the digital world with the analog world or adjust voltages and currents so that they can be reused. In addition, the "transistor" and "diode" components form the basis for both digital, power and high frequency electronics. Without exaggerating, these components are the basis of the modern world; today they form the [[basics_of_digital_technology:at_the_heart_of_a_computer|heart of every computer]] and every calculator.

\\ \\ \\
But now what distinguishes electronics from electrical engineering? And what does "electronic circuitry" mean? The video opposite aims to answer these questions.
But what is the difference between electronics and electrical engineering? And what is the meaning of electronic circuitry?\
For this purpose, it is useful to take a closer look at the individual parts of the term "electronic circuit technology": \\
The word __**technology**__ is derived from the Greek "τέχνη" (téchne) and means something like art or craft. At first glance, this seems a bit surprising, since technique is rarely associated with an artistic activity such as painting. In the higher semesters, however, you will learn that understanding, for example, the arrangement of electronics (circuit design) and the application of the individual components requires trained skill and creativity. \\ \\
A __**circuit**__ is an arrangement of electrical or electronic components to form a functioning whole or an electric circuit. We have already learned the term circuit in the first semester in [[:Electrical Engineering_1:start|Electrical Engineering 1]]. \\ \\
__**Electronics**__ is a portmanteau of electrons and technology. "Electron engineering" considers circuits in which an electric current or voltage is controlled by other electric signals. This means, for example, that a voltage $U_{in}$ controls an output voltage $U_{out}$. Physically, the two signals do not have to be electrically connected. \\ \\
First, the term electronics will be examined in more detail using various examples. First of all, a transformer will be considered. Is this an electrical or electronic component? In a transformer, the output voltage is generated by the change in the magnetic field. The magnetic field change in turn is caused by the current change on the primary side. So there is a direct transformation (a conversion) of the signals. Thus the transformer is not an electronic component. If this is still a bit unclear, it helps to work intensively on this chapter and to compare the following examples. \\ \\
The second component to be considered is the so-called contactor. A contactor is an electrically controlled switch. Here a coil, if energized, closes a secondary or output circuit. There is no direct electrical connection here. The contactor is often not yet regarded as an electronic, but as an electromechanical component. \\ \\
The last thing to be examined is the electron tube in the light of electronics and electrical engineering. An electron tube is a vacuum vessel, with several connections. Two of the terminals lead internally to one electrode each, which face each other. These can be brought to a potential difference against each other and heated. This allows electrons to escape from the electrode and generate a current to the other electrode through the vacuum. A grid is placed between the two electrodes. If this is set to an opposite potential, the current flow can be stopped. Here, the grid potential can be used to change the current flow. The electron tube is already considered as an electronic component. Nowadays, the electron tube has been replaced by semiconductor components.
In this course we deal only with semiconductor electronic components and essentially with silicon as a semiconductor.

===== 1.1 Why amplifiers? =====
{{youtube>KbrHOcgmRkI?size=543x342}}
The amplifier is one - if not the - central component in electronics. To understand what it is used for, various examples are shown in the three short videos opposite.
In example 1, the amplifier is briefly explained from the point of view of acoustics.
{{youtube>HC4NXIigD98?size=543x342}}
In example 2, a sensor with variable resistance is to be evaluated. This case is very common with passive sensors (i.e., sensors without further signal conditioning). Many of these sensors produce only a small voltage difference or a very small current. If these sensors were connected directly to a load or another unit with a low input resistance, the measurement voltage would collapse and the measurement signal determined from it would be distorted.
{{youtube>Ki_uU418-xQ?size=543x342}}
Example 3 shows various amplifiers interacting with a microcontroller. In addition to evaluating sensors, many applications require signal output. If powerful motors, LEDs, antennas or loudspeakers are to be controlled, an amplifier must convert the microcontroller signal appropriately. In addition, an amplifier can take over control tasks analogously and usually with little electronic effort.

===== 1.2 Amplifier - a black box is specified =====
{{youtube>wB498oinin4?size=543x302}} ~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~CLEARFIX~~
Before the amplifier is examined in more detail in the application, the interfaces and essential characteristics are to be dealt with first.
The switching symbol of the amplifier is a rectangle with an inset triangle. The input terminals on the left side are labeled $IN+$ and $IN-$. The output terminals on the right side are correspondingly labeled $OUT+$ and $OUT-$. The input voltage $U_E$, or $U_{IN}$ is applied between the input terminals and the output voltage $U_A$, or $U_{OUT}$ is applied between the output terminals. \\ \\
On the left-hand side, the signal to be amplified comes from any source. Often this can be thought of as an ideal (voltage) source - i.e. with internal resistance. The amplified signal is fed to a load on the right-hand side. In the simplest case, this load is an ohmic resistor. \\ \\
{{fa>exclamation?32}}
An amplifier is a system that uses a low-power input signal to control a much higher-power output signal. \\ \\
The necessary power is taken from the power supply!

{{drawio>replica_of_an_amplifier_blackbox}}
A voltage amplifier is required for most applications. Accordingly, this is the basis for the following explanation. However, the determined values apply accordingly to other amplifiers. In a voltage amplifier is shown as a black box. The voltage amplifier always tries to output a given multiple of the input voltage $U_E$ at the output as output voltage $U_A$. This "multiple" can be determined as a ratio. \\ \\
On the right is a **simulation of an ideal amplifier**. The input source specifies the voltage to be amplified. The amplifier with amplification factor 100 has the connections for input and output voltage drawn in. On the right side a resistor is provided as load; this can be varied by a switch.

In the simulation some characteristics of an amplifier can be seen:
- Ideally, no current flows into the amplifier on the input side.
- The current on the output side depends on the connected load. If the load resistance is reduced with the help of the switch, the current increases. The amplifier thus tries to maintain the desired voltage.
- On the output side of the amplifier, the current can flow in either direction. \\ The amplifier adjusts the current so that the amplified voltage $U_A=\pm 2.5V$ can be measured at the output.
\\
The ratios of the input and output quantities of a black box are called **characteristics**. For example, a well-known characteristic is the efficiency $\eta = \frac{P_A}{P_E}$. In the amplifier, only the voltages and currents are considered as input and output quantities. Various amplifier characteristics are shown in the table. \\
Depending on the desired input variable, which is to be used as input, and the output variable, which is to be controlled, different **translation ratios** result. It is important to note that transfer resistance $R_ü$ and transfer conductance $S$ do not correspond to any electrical component, since current and voltage are not measured at the same terminals. \\
If current and voltage are related at the same terminals, the **input resistance** $\bold symbol{R_E}$ and output resistance $R_A$ are obtained. From [[Electrical engineering_1:start|Electrical engineering 1]] it is known that for an equivalent resistance of a system the quotient of open circuit voltage $U_{LL}$ and short circuit current $I_{KS}$ can be used. Important: A resistor must always be considered in the load arrow system: For a positive resistance value, the current and voltage arrows must be plotted in the same direction. For input resistance, this is already the case (see also ). \\ However, for **output resistance** $\boldsymbol{R_A}$ (__in__ amplifier), the arrow of $U_A$ and $I_A$ is antiparallel. The quotient is a negative value and accordingly must be negated. However, for the output resistance, the measurement of the short-circuit current $I_{A,KS}$ is also problematic. At the beginning of this subchapter it was already described that the voltage amplifier always tries to output a given multiple of the input voltage $U_E$ at the output as input voltage $U_A$. It would also attempt to do this in the event of a short circuit. The current $I_A$ would accordingly become very large. When measuring the short-circuit current $I_{A,KS}$, the disproportionately increasing losses $P=R_A\cdot I_A^2$ via the output resistance could then destroy the amplifier. Thus, determining the output resistance via the quotient of $U_A$ and $I_A$ is not possible. Since the output resistance is assumed to be ohmic resistance - i.e. slope in the $U$-$I$ diagram - any two (load) points on the straight line can be used to form the quotient. Specifically, to measure the output resistance, consider the amplifier with two different loads $R_{L,1}$ and $R_{L,2}$ and find the differences $\Delta U_A=U_{A,1}-U_{A,2}$ and $\Delta I_A=I_{A,1}-I_{A,2}$. \\
The most important characteristics of the voltage amplifier are voltage gain $A_V$, input and output resistance $R_E$ and $R_A$.

==== equivalent-circuit diagram ====
{{drawio>replica_of_an_amplifier}}
After the characteristics, the first attempt will be made to understand the internal structure of the amplifier. In the previous section, current-voltage relationships were determined from the external view. There, an input resistance $R_E$ was described on the input side of the amplifier. This is now considered in the equivalent circuit (see ). A resistance was also determined on the output side by considering it as a black box. Here, however, it must additionally be noted that the amplifier - according to its name - is supposed to amplify the input signal. So here, besides the output resistor $R_A$, also an element has to be used, which outputs the amplified voltage. This is the voltage source [(Note1>The voltage source used in the amplifier is a [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesteuerte_Quelle|controlled source]], this term will not be discussed further in this course)]. The voltage of the voltage source is based on the voltage applied to the input resistor $R_E$. It is more accurately larger by the factor of the voltage gain $A_V$.

On the right you can see a **simulation of a (simulated) real amplifier**. The input source has a high internal resistance. This means it has a high impedance and can only supply a small amount of current. The amplifier with amplification factor 100 has - besides the connections for input and output voltage - the connections for the supply voltage drawn in. On the right side a resistor is provided as load; this can be varied by a switch.

In the simulation some characteristics of an amplifier can be seen:
- On the input side, a small current flows into the amplifier.
- The current on the output side depends on the connected load. If the load resistance is reduced with the help of the switch, the current increases. The amplifier thus tries to maintain the desired voltage.
- The amplifier can output current as well as draw current. \\ The current on the output side flows in and out of the amplifier through the supply voltage terminals.
- The simulation is based on a real amplifier. This has a small deviation from the expected value $U_A=\pm 2.5V$ at the output voltage. Part of the deviation will be described later in this chapter.

Depending on which input variable is to change which output variable, different basic amplifier types result. These are listed in the table opposite. As **graphic** in [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockschaltbild#Blockschaltbilder_in_der_Elektrotechnik|Block diagrams]] a square with diagonal is drawn for the respective amplifier basic type, which contains the corresponding formula symbol on the input and output side. \\ The **input resistors** $\boldsymbol{R_E}$ **and output resistors** $\boldsymbol{R_A}$ **for __ideal voltage amplifiers__** shall now be considered in more detail.
If a voltage is read in, the input resistance should load the source as little as possible so that the voltage to be measured does not collapse (cf. ). This can also be easily checked in the simulation of the real amplifier (see above). If the resistance of the load is increased there (double-click), it approaches the input resistance of the amplifier. If the value is set to $1 M \Omega $, the voltage collapses to half. The source resistance is then equal to the input resistance of the amplifier. So it is important that the input resistance is as high as possible, or ideally tends to infinity. \\
A similar consideration can be made for the **output resistance** $\boldsymbol{R_A}$. If a voltage is to be output, the output resistance must be dimensioned so that the voltage at the load does not collapse at the output either. The output resistance should be as small as possible, so that the voltage dropping there becomes low. \\

If now the **input resistors** $\boldsymbol{R_E}$ **and output resistors** $\boldsymbol{R_A}$ **are considered for __ideal current amplifiers__**, a different view of the amplifier is convenient. In , the same amplifier considered so far can be seen. In this case, however, all real voltage sources have been replaced by real current sources. This transformation has already been described in [[Electrical engineering_1:start|Electrical engineering 1]]. Depending on the considered, electrical quantity, one or the other real source can be advantageous. \\ With this knowledge, the input and output resistance of the current amplifier shall now be considered. On the input side, most of the input current $I_E$ should flow into the amplifier. The input resistance $R_E$ must accordingly tend towards zero. The maximum current should also flow out of the amplifier at the amplifier output. Here, the output resistance $R_A$ has to strive towards infinity accordingly, so that the lowest possible current flows through it. \\

===== 1.3 Feedback =====
{{drawio>block diagramfeedback}}
One of the fundamental principles of control engineering, digital technology and electronics is **feedback**. Thus, in [[Fundamentals of Digital Technology:start]], the output value of a NOR gate was already fed back to its input via detours for the development of a flip-flop. Similarly, here the output value of the ideal amplifier is to be fed back to the input. In contrast to digital technology, in control engineering and electronics a fraction (in rare cases: a multiple) of the output value is fed back. \\
Additionally, in control engineering, digital engineering, and electronics, there is another tool: the **block diagram**, or signal flow diagram. In Electrical Engineering 1, circuit diagrams were previously used. With circuit diagrams there is an interaction of all components due to Kirchhoff's rules, furthermore voltage differences everywhere or current over all components can be measured. \\
In contrast to this is the block diagram. This shows single blocks (also called links) which connect a cause with an effect. In general, no feedback from the effect to the cause is assumed. Causes and effects can be voltages or currents, which are then written on the respective connecting arrow. The block diagram does not claim to be a conservation of energy or charge, but serves as an overview of the effects and relationships. Therefore Kirchhoff's rules are usually not applicable there. \\
shows a **block diagram of a feedback amplifier** with an ideal voltage amplifier with gain $A_D$ drawn in the center. Via a feedback element, the output voltage $U_A$, reduced by a factor $k$, is fed back. The circle symbol with the arithmetic symbols (in the block diagram on the left) shows how the incoming values must be offset against each other. Thus, the value $k \cdot U_A$ is subtracted from the input value $U_E$ in the indicated block diagram.
\\ \\
The advantage of a real amplifier in negative feedback is that the gain $A_V$ of the whole system depends only negligibly on the gain factor $A_D$ of the real amplifier if $A_D$ is very large (see also task 1.3.2). In this case, the gain $A_V=\frac{1}{k}$. To avoid oscillation of the whole system, it must contain a delay element. This is present in the real amplifier in such a way that the output voltage $U_A$ cannot change infinitely fast [(Note2>The fact that a voltage change can only occur in finitely long time is also true for the input voltage. However, this cannot be influenced by the amplifier, but is externally specified.)] (see also task 1.3.1).
{{fa>exclamation?32}}
**__Feedback__** refers to the feedback of a portion of the output signal of an amplifier. \\
In **__feedback__**, the part of the output signal with positive sign is fed back. \\
Thus, the output value always increases in magnitude to the input value.
\\ \\
With **__feedback__** the part of the output signal with negative sign is fed back. \\
So the output value always attenuates the input value.

{{fa>exclamation?32}}
The **difference gain** $\boldsymbol{A_D}$ refers only to input and output voltage of the inner amplifier: $A_D=\frac{U_A}{U_D}$ \\ This acts only without external feedback. It is also called open-loop gain. \\ \\
The **voltage gain** $\boldsymbol{A_V}$ refers to input and output voltage of the whole circuit __with feedback__: $A_V=\frac{U_A}{U_E}$ \ It is called closed-loop gain in English. \\ \\

====== 2. Diodes and transistors ======
=== Introductory example===
Microcontrollers have many digital inputs that evaluate signals between $0...5V$ as a digital signal. However, the input signal can be disturbed during transmission by small coupled pulses. This interference can cause the signal to leave the permitted voltage range of approx. $-0.5...5.5V$ and thus destroy the logical unit.
To prevent such destruction, an overvoltage protection circuit consisting of diodes is installed (see e.g. [[https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/Atmel-7810-Automotive-Microcontrollers-ATmega328P_Datasheet.pdf#page=58|ATmega 328]]). In case of an over-/undervoltage one of the diodes becomes conductive and lowers the input voltage by the resulting current. In the simulation it can be seen that the interference on the input side can be reduced to an acceptable, low level by the protection circuit.
This chapter explains why a diode becomes conductive at a certain voltage, what has to be considered when using diodes and which different types of diodes are available.

===== 2.1 Current conduction in semiconductors =====

++++ Video transcript (Alternative to the explanation in the video) |
In metals, electrons are free to move. If an external voltage is applied, they follow the potential difference to the positive electrode: current flows. In insulators, on the other hand, the electrons are firmly bound to the atomic trunks. If a voltage is applied, they can at best be polarized. No current flows.
A semiconductor is a material whose conductivity lies between that of metals and that of insulators. The technologically most important example of a semiconductor is silicon. In the silicon crystal, the electrons are not freely movable as in a metal, because they are bound to the atomic trunks. But a small supply of energy (e.g. thermal energy) is sufficient to release the electrons from the atoms. Then, when a voltage is applied, an electric current flows. This is called the **intrinsic conduction** (intrinsic conduction) of the semiconductor. When the electrons move around in the semiconductor, this is called **electron conduction**.
A hole with a positive electrical charge is created at the silicon atom from which the electron was removed. This is also called a defect electron. These holes can also move through the crystal lattice and thus generate an electric current. This is called **hole conduction**. Hole conduction can be thought of as a hole being filled by an electron from the neighboring atom. However, this creates a hole in the neighboring atom. Effectively, such a hole has migrated from one atom to another, carrying with it a positive electric charge.
{{ :electronic_circuitry:mfile6xpsilicon.png?nolink&200|p-doping with aluminum}}{{ :electronic_circuitry:mfile6xnsilicon.png?nolink&200|n-doping with phosphorus}}
Most semiconductors are elements of the fourth main group, i.e. they have four electrons in the outer shell. This also applies to the element silicon. In the silicon lattice, each silicon atom is therefore connected to four neighbouring atoms via a bond. If foreign atoms are added to this semiconductor material, the electrical conductivity can be modified. This is called **doping**.
Atoms of the fifth main group (e.g. phosphorus) have five electrons in the outer shell. If these are added to the silicon crystal lattice, one electron is surplus at these points, as it is not needed for the four bonds in the crystal lattice. This electron is much more mobile than the electrons that contribute to the bond and therefore greatly increases conductivity by electron conduction. This addition of free negative charge carriers is called **n-doping** (see ).
On the other hand, by adding atoms of the third main group (e.g. aluminium), a so-called hole can be created at these points, as these atoms only have three electrons in the outer shell. This leads to an increase in conductivity by hole conduction. This addition of free positive charge carriers is called **p-doping** (see ).

==== A Quantum Mechanical View ====
{{electronic_circuitry:shell_bendermodel.png?420|shell_bendermodel.jpg?420|Bohr's atomic model and ribbon model}}
The above model of conductivity in semiconductors will now be considered in a little more depth. In the Bohr atomic model (, 1), it is assumed that the electrons in the **atom** move in certain circular orbits around the nucleus - similar to the planets in the planetary system. Here, more strongly bound electrons are in closer orbits and weaker ones are in orbits further out. This also behaves similarly to satellites in the gravitational field, which, when farther from the center, are more weakly attracted. Bohr postulated 3 axioms to make the model and measurement results fit together plausibly:
- Circular orbits are discrete. There are only certain paths on which the electrons may move \\ (and thus discrete energies for the electrons).
- Each jump of an electron from one orbit to another is accompanied by an energy absorption or release.
- The exact energy amounts of the orbits result from quantum physics.
Unfortunately, this representation produces quite a few physical contradictions - but the model is sufficient for explaining conductivity in semiconductors[(Note3>The contradictions of Bohr's atomic model were only resolved by quantum physics and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4Ip1p6o9TU|orbital theory]])]. The Bohr atomic model and the [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oktettregel|Octet rule]] (tendency of higher orbits to be saturated with 8 electrons) are enough to gain a deeper insight into semiconductor physics. \\ \\
1a shows the electrons in the discrete circular orbits, i.e., in a $x$-$y$ coordinate system. More strongly bound electrons are shown in black on inner orbits; on the outermost noncompletely occupied green orbit, electrons are shown in blue. In addition to the occupied orbits, other, outer, nonoccupied orbits are also present (blue in 1a). \\
The same electrons can also be sorted into an $x$-$W$ coordinate system (see 1b). Here $W$ is the binding energy, or work released when an unbound electron jumps into the orbit under consideration. The origin of the binding energy (i.e., the binding energy of an unbound electron: $W=0$) is above the unoccupied levels. Thus, as expected, the magnitude of the binding energy of the fully occupied level is the highest. The discrete orbits also result in discrete energy levels on the energy axis. \\

{{youtube>_pE-ZX79wX4?size=543x392}}
If we consider a **section of a solid** instead of a single atom, the electron configuration changes. In 2a, the situation is again shown in the $x$-$y$ coordinate system. Here, the inner electrons and the nucleus are now reduced to a single, yellow circle with the resulting charges. The electrons from the (in the example atom) partially occupied levels now satisfy the octet rule. \\ However, depending on the element, there are different properties of the electrons here. In metals the electrons are freely movable - thus a good conductivity is measurable, but in semiconductors initially not. This statement cannot be explained by the Bohr atomic model, but by the band model and some quantum physics very well. As already for the atom, the electrons of the solid are now entered into a $x$-$W$-coordinate system.
Here are now many electrons from the same atomic levels close to each other. The laws of quantum physics forbid that electrons occupy exactly the same energy level at the same location. This results in a broadening of the discrete levels into energy bands ( 2b).
In the example, a semiconductor is drawn. In the semiconductor, the energetically highest-lying band is completely occupied. The energetically highest-lying and occupied band is called the **valence band**, and the next highest non-occupied (or not fully occupied) band is called the **conduction band**. The energetic gap between the conduction and valence bands is called the band gap. The conduction band of the semiconductor just corresponds to the electrons strongly bound in the $x$-$y$ coordinate system. Thus, there are initially no mobile electrons in the semiconductor (the conduction band is unoccupied, and the valence band is fully occupied). The band gap in semiconductors is approximately in the range of $0.1 ... 4eV$ [(Note4> The electron volt (eV) corresponds to the energy absorbed by an electron when it passes through into a potential difference of one volt. One electron volt is equal to $1.602\cdot 10^{-19} J$. Since energy in joules is unwieldy and not easily understood, this is converted to the energy gain of an electron in volts. For this purpose, the [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementarladung|elementary charge]] $e_0=1.602\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is used.)] \\
Electrons can be released from bonds with **addition of energy**. An electron can get the energy it needs in two ways: Either by an excitation of the electromagnetic field, i.e. a quantum of light, or by an excitation of the elastic field, i.e. lattice vibrations of the crystal. Light quanta are also called photons, quantized lattice vibrations are also called phonons. In 2a, top left, a photon is absorbed by an electron, thus breaking the bond. The electron absorbs the energy of the photon. It is excited and raised by that amount on the $W$ axis. It also follows that only quanta of energy can be absorbed that allow it to be lifted to an existing and free level. The energy absorption results in an electron in the conduction band that is mobile in the crystal. In addition, the electron leaves a positively charged hole in the valence band. This process is called **generation of electron-hole pairs**. Both electron and hole conduction contribute to conductivity in the undoped semiconductor. The reverse process - the **recombination** of electrons with holes, occurs in silicon after a few tens of microseconds, or a few tens of micrometers. In this process, the amount of energy in the bandgap is released again. \\
{{ https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Halbleiter1.PNG?420|band model and doping}}
Since the crystal lattice already contains thermal energy at room temperature (the atomic trunks move), phonons are also present in the crystal. The phonons have a broad, energetic distribution. At room temperatures, the average energy of a phonon is $k_B\cdot T = 26 meV$ ($k_B$ is the [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann-Konstante|Boltzmann constant]]).
In silicon, about 0.000 000 01% (about one in $10^{13}$) of phonons have sufficient energy to lift an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. However, this is sufficient to provide about 10 billion charge carriers ($10^{10}$) to pure silicon at room temperature and a volume of $1 cm^3$ (about $5\cdot 10^{22}$ atoms). These charge carriers enable the intrinsic conduction described above.
The previous subchapter also described another way of increasing the number of charge carriers: doping with impurity atoms. This requires that the semiconductor material used is very pure and crystalline. Impurities and crystalline impurities can also produce conductive charge carriers. The semiconductor material should have less than one defect per $10^{10}$ atoms (equivalent to about one person to humanity). In this case, intrinsic conduction would predominate in it. For doping, one impurity atom is added to $10^5...10^{10}$ semiconductor atoms. In the band model, n-doping results in additional electrons in the conduction band and additional positively charged fixed recombination centers due to the fixed positive atomic hulls, so-called (electron)**donors** (: red marking for n-doping in b,c,d). A p-doping creates additional holes in the valence band and fixed negatively charged recombination centers, so-called (electron)**acceptors**.

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to pass in only one direction. So it can be thought of as a valve for the current. The circuit symbol is shown in .
The arrowhead indicates the direction in which the diode allows current to pass, here meaning the technical direction of current, i.e. the movement of positive charge carriers. This means that the diode conducts the current when the positive pole on the left and the negative pole on the right of a DC voltage source are applied ("dash" of the diode is connected to the negative pole). If you connect the diode with the opposite polarity, it will not conduct the current. If the diode conducts the current, it is connected in forward direction, if it does not conduct the current, it is connected in reverse direction.

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to pass in only one direction. So it can be considered as a valve for the current. The circuit symbol is shown in .
The arrowhead indicates the direction in which the diode allows current to pass, here meaning the technical direction of current, i.e. the movement of positive charge carriers. This means that the diode conducts the current when the positive pole on the left and the negative pole on the right of a DC voltage source are applied ("dash" of the diode is connected to the negative pole). If you connect the diode with the opposite polarity, it will not conduct the current. If the diode conducts the current, it is connected in forward direction, if it does not conduct the current, it is connected in reverse direction.
For the circuit symbol there are the following mnemonics: Viewed from the cathode side, the circuit symbol resembles a "K". From the anode side, the circuit symbol resembles a horizontal "A". Mnemonic for sorting: **K**athode - **N**negative - **A**node - **P**positive.
In the simulation shown below, three examples of diodes in circuits are considered. \\ In the **first example on the left**, the voltage source is polarized so that the diode is forward biased. The light bulb is on. \\
In the first example on the right, the diode is reverse biased. The light bulb remains dark. \\
In the second example (middle), an **ideal diode** - i.e. a directional current valve - can be seen. Next to it is the transfer characteristic or current-voltage characteristic (in this case also called diode characteristic). The voltage at the diode is plotted on the x-axis, the current through the diode on the y-axis. The diode is non-conducting at all voltages below 0V, and conducts current at all voltages above 0V. \\
In the last example (right) a **real diode** is connected. The real diode differs from the ideal diode in the following ways:
- The real diode does not have such a steep slope.
- The real diode has a non-linear resistance; it is not an ohmic resistor.
- The real diode seems to require a minimum voltage to allow a current to flow.
The details of the real diode are described below.

In a diode, two differently doped layers of silicon collide: p-doped silicon ("p-crystal") on one side and n-doped silicon ("n-crystal") on the other.
The situation __without external voltage__ will be considered first (compare ). On the n-doped side, many free-moving electrons will dissolve at room temperature, leaving acceptors stationary. The same can be seen on the p-doped side: the free-moving holes leave behind donors. in the middle, at the **pn-junction**, both moving charge carriers, electrons and holes, meet. When they meet directly, the two charge carriers will cancel each other out, they **recombine**. This creates a photon (electromagnetic vibration) and/or a phonon (lattice vibration). The recombination forms a layer, the **barrier layer**, which is largely free of free moving charge carriers. The barrier layer initially acts as an insulator.
__With external voltage $U_D$__ on the diode, two cases are to be distinguished ():
- Applying a positive voltage from p-doped side to n-doped side \\ (diode voltage = forward voltage $U_D = U_F$, $U_F>0$).
- Applying a negative voltage from p-doped side to n-doped side \\ (diode voltage = reverse voltage $U_D = -U_R$, $U_R>0$).

{{ https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/Halbleiter3.PNG?400|Functionality of a semiconductor diode}}
A triangular or sawtooth signal can be applied to create the diode characteristic (see Falstad simulations).
=== Forward voltage $U_F>0$ ===
If a positive potential__ is applied to the __p-doped side, the freely moving holes there are driven towards the pn-junction. Negative potential is then applied to the n-doped side, which also drives the freely moving electrons towards the pn-junction. At the pn-junction, holes and electrons can neutralize each other. Thus, holes from the positive terminal and electrons from the negative terminal can continue to move in, and an electric current flows through the diode. The diode is connected in the **conducting direction**. In common diodes, about $0.7 V$ is dropped in the forward direction. This means, of course, that the current does not pass the diode completely without resistance, but that the forward voltage $U_S$ of about $0.7 V$ must be applied from the outside.[(Note2>In the literature, the forward voltage can be found under other names: Forward voltage, Threshold voltage, Forward voltage, Buckling voltage, Forward voltage.)]. This voltage results from the energy difference of the band gap related to one electron, which is about $1.1eV$ for silicon, but is reduced by thermal energy (phonons).
On closer inspection, the curve resembles an exponential function. This can be described by the [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley-Gleichung|Shockley equation]]:
^ $\boxed{\large{I_F = I_S(T)\cdot (e^{\frac{U_F}{m\cdot U_T}}-1)}$ ||
| $\small{I_F}$ | forward current at the diode (Forward Current) | "positive current at the diode" |
| $\small{U_F}$ | forward voltage (Forward Voltage) | "positive voltage at the diode" |
| $\small{I_S(T)}$ | Reverse Current (Saturation or Leakage Current) | "current present when connected in reverse direction" |
| $\small{m}$ | Emission Coefficient (1...2) | "Trickle factor, only part of the energy of $U_F$ acts on the charge carriers" |
| $\small{U_T}$ | temperature voltage ($26mV$ at room temp.) | "energy due to temperature related to charge" |
Several consequences can be derived from the exponential function:
- The forward voltage $U_S$ of about $0.7 V$ depends on which current (/voltage) range is considered. $0.6...0.7V$ is a suitable value for currents in the range of $5...100mA$. This range is used in most circuits. For smaller currents, the forward voltage $U_S$ also decreases (e.g., for $5...100mA$ \rightarrow about 0.4V$,(nbsp)(nbsp) $0.1...1mA$ \rightarrow about 0.2V$, see the following Falstad simulation).
- The forward voltage and the voltage response are temperature dependent. The higher the temperature, the more current flows for the same voltage. So if a diode is connected directly to a voltage source, at currents higher than about $50mA$ the current would increase directly via self-heating [(Note1>The self-heating $Q$, or temperature increase $\Delta \vartheta$ results directly via the power dissipation $P_{loss}=U_D \cdot I_D = \dot{Q} = C\cdot \Delta \vartheta$.)] up to / above the maximum current.
{{fa>exclamation?32}}
A diode behaves like an NTC resistor, that is, the warmer it gets, the lower the resistance, the more current flows ($I\sim \frac{1}{R}$), the more power dissipation there is ($P_{loss}\sim I$), the warmer it gets ($\vartheta\sim P_{loss}$). This relationship can lead to the disturbance of the diode.
If a diode is used, it should therefore be noted that it must be thermally stabilized. A frequently used method is the use of a resistor, e.g. load resistor or series resistor for an LED.
Correspondingly, when diodes are connected in parallel, they must either be measured beforehand and compared for similar characteristics or a series resistor must also be provided.

=== Blocking voltage $U_R>0$ ===
If the __diode is contacted in the opposite direction__, i.e. positive pole on the n-doped side and negative pole on the p-doped side, no current can flow. This is because the free electrons from the positive pole are sucked out of the n-doped side, and the free holes are removed from the p-doped side. In between, a so-called depletion zone without free charge carriers is created. No electric charge can be transported through this depletion zone and the diode cannot conduct "any current". The diode is connected in the **blocking direction**. In fact, the diode can still conduct a very small **blocking current** $\boldsymbol{I_S}$: Thermal energy keeps creating free electrons and free holes, which allow it to conduct. Thus it is also clear that the reverse current is temperature dependent. $I_S(T)$ lies in the range $100nA...10\mu A$.
{{ electronic_circuitry:switching-sign-z-diode.png?200|Switching sign of a Z-diode}}
If the reverse voltage is increased further, the free charge carriers are sucked out more and more. Above a certain negative voltage, the energy of the free charge carriers becomes so great that they knock out more charge carriers, which in turn knock out more charge carriers. This results in an avalanche of free moving charge carriers and the diode becomes abruptly conductive. This situation is called **breakthrough**. The voltage is denoted $U_Z$, after the discoverer [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zener-Effekt|Clarence Zener]]. For an ordinary diode, breakdown is problematic because it does not occur at a defined voltage. Without precise knowledge of this voltage, the rapid current rise will quickly destroy the diode.
In addition to avalanche breakdown at high negative voltages, there is Zener breakdown at low voltages in highly doped materials due to quantum mechanical processes. By suitable structuring it is possible to combine both effects in the so-called **Z-diode** (formerly called Zener diode). This has two major advantages: on the one hand, it makes it possible to create diodes that let through at arbitrary (negative) voltages. On the other hand, the temperature dependence of the characteristic can be compensated.
In the older circuit symbols - which should no longer be used - the Z of the Z-diode can still be seen (). In the current symbol for the Z diode, only a dash is drawn on the top or bottom. The is to avoid accidental confusion with other diode circuit symbols.
{{fa>exclamation?32}}
Z-diodes are wired for operation in the opposite direction. Z-diodes are available prefabricated for various breakdown voltages $U_Z$.
In the diode characteristic $I_D(U_D)$, the individual voltage ranges are designated according to their respective effects: Breakdown range ($U_D = -U_R < U_Z$), Rejection range ($U_Z < U_D < U_S$), Forward range ($U_D = U_F > U_S$).

{{ https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f0/Pin-Photodiode.png?nolink&300|Absorption of photons in the intrinsic layer of a photodiode}}
In addition to the silicon PN diode and the Z diode discussed so far, other diodes are available for various applications. In the following, the most important ones will be briefly described.
=== PIN diode ===
In the PIN diode, there is an undoped region (**i**ntrically non-conducting) between the **p**-doped and **n**-doped regions. The name is therefore derived from the existing layers of the diode. In all diodes, the carrier-free junction results in a capacitor. The capacitance of this capacitor is reciprocally proportional to the distance $d$ between the conducting regions: $C\sim \frac{1}{d}$. With the additional undoped region inserted, $d$ becomes larger and thus the capacitance becomes smaller. This capacitance is alternately charged and discharged in AC applications. A smaller capacitance improves the blocking performance at high frequencies. The broadened junction also increases the dielectric strength of the diode. The same circuit symbol is used for the PIN diode as for the classic PN diode.
==PAGEBREAK~ ==CLEARFIX~~
=== Photodiode (solar cell) ===
{{ electronic_circuitry:switching-sign-photodiode.png?nolink&150|Switching sign of a photodiode}}
A photodiode is a PIN diode which is constructed in such a way that the cross-section of the junction occupies a very large area. The structure of a photodiode is: n-doped layer, intrinsically conductive layer, p-doped layer. When a photon hits the diode, an electron-hole pair is generated, which is separated by the electric field in the PN junction: the electrons accumulate in the n-doped layer, the holes in the p-doped layer (see ). In a photodiode, the charge carriers are dissipated in a voltage-free manner. The number of charge carriers is proportional to the absorbed photons. The circuit symbol () shows the incoming photons with arrows.
If the voltage generated by a diode is used as the source voltage, it is referred to as a solar cell. Silicon is often used as the material for solar cells for cost and processing reasons. Solar cells can never convert the complete irradiated energy: Photons with energies below the band gap $W_g$ cannot generate an electron-hole pair. For photon energies $W_{ph}$ above the band gap $W_g$, part of the energy ($W_{ph}-E_g$) is emitted as heat or phonon. In addition, there are other technical reasons for losses. With silicon, up to 26% of the irradiated energy can be converted into electrical energy. The efficiency can be increased with several layers of different materials.
==PAGEBREAK~ ==CLEARFIX~~
=== germanium diode ===
In the germanium diode, germanium is used as the semiconductor instead of silicon. Germanium has a smaller band gap and thus also a lower forward voltage of about $U_D=0.3V$. Thus, the germanium diode is already closer to an ideal diode at low currents and voltages. A disadvantage compared to silicon PN diodes is that the reverse current is higher and the forward current is lower. In other words, the diode does not "block" quite as well and the "kink" in the characteristic curve is less pronounced. The same circuit symbol is used for the germanium diode as for the PN diode. In contrast to silicon, germanium has an additional electron shell, so the core is more strongly shielded. The easier detachment of the outer electrons in the crystal leads on the one hand to a smaller band gap, but also to a higher intrinsic conductivity (density). A consequence of this is that germanium diodes have lower operating temperatures (approx. 70..90°C) than silicon.
~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~CLEARFIX~~
{{electronic_circuitry:switching-sign-schottky-diode.png?nolink&150|Switching sign of a Schottky diode}}
=== Schottky diode ===
The Schottky diode also uses a different material. In the silicon Schottky diode, however, a metal is used instead of silicon only on the previously p-doped side. This eliminates the holes as charge carriers, which allows for "faster switching": available Schottky diodes have a forward voltage in the range of $U_S=0.15...0.45V$. Although silicon Schottky diodes have similar advantages and disadvantages to the germanium diode, the disadvantages such as higher reverse current (compared to silicon PN diode) and lower slope are less pronounced.
In most applications, the silicon Schottky diode is superior to the germanium diode. The circuit symbol () stylizes an S for Schottky, which is especially visible with the non-normalized symbol.
=== Power diodes ===
For power applications, silicon__carbide__ Schottky diodes (SiC Schottky) with a forward voltage of $U_S=0.8V$ or gallium nitride diodes (GaN) are used. The large band gap of these two materials results in lower intrinsic conductivity. This leads to the fact that these diodes can be operated at high temperatures (and thus high losses and voltages). The reverse voltage is noticeably higher than that of silicon diodes (SiC: up to approx. 1,600V, GaN approx. 200V).
Both materials are also used in power transistors for higher power (kW to MW range).
== SYNC, CORRECTED BY ELDERMAN ==
=== (O)LED ===
{{ electronic_circuitry:switching-sign-led.png?nolink&150|Switching sign of a LED}}
In the (organic) light-emitting diode, other (also organic) semiconductor materials are used instead of silicon. These are optimized in such a way that photons of a certain wavelength are essentially formed by recombination in the forward direction. This requires a large band gap, which also produces a high forward voltage $U_S>2V$. As with all diodes, care must be taken with LEDs to ensure that the negative temperature coefficient does not cause the diode to fail at high currents: Each LED requires a series resistor, which should be designed to limit the current. Usually LEDs are rated at $I_D=20mA$. A nice overview of the various voltages and maximum currents can be found at [[https://www.reichelt.de/reicheltpedia/index.php/LED#Genutzte_Halbleiter|Reicheltpedia]]; for specific use of an LED, the datasheet should be inspected. The circuit symbol () shows with arrows the outgoing photons.
The following simulation allows a comparison of different diodes in the voltage range $U=\pm0.05V$. This reveals the different reverse currents $I_S$ in the negative voltage range and the early rise of germanium and Schottky diodes.

The idealized diode consists of:
* an ideal diode, which is maximally conductive when $U>0$,
* a voltage source providing the forward voltage: $U_Q = U_S$
* an ohmic resistor with a resistance value such that for the desired voltage range (=working point) the real diode characteristic is approximated. This resistance is called differential resistance $r_D$.
If one is only interested in the behavior of the diode in at voltages above the forward voltage ($U>U_S$), then the ideal diode can also be removed.

===== 2.5 Applications =====
In the following, the most important applications for diodes will be presented. The respective simulations can be found under the links.
A frequently used application are rectifiers, which convert an AC voltage into a DC voltage. A distinction is made between the [[http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-rectify.htmll|half-wave rectifier]] and the [[http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-fullrect.html|bridge rectifier or full-wave rectifier]]. Rectifiers are used on the one hand in the power supply. On the other hand, a rectifier (using amplifiers) can be used to easily determine the peak value of a voltage waveform.
A similar concept also makes it possible to generate [[http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-voltdouble.html|double]], [[http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-volttriple.html|triple]] or [[http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-voltquad.html|multiple voltage]] from an AC voltage.
As overvoltage protection, for example, the sparks when switching inductances can be avoided by [[http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-inductkick-block.html|"free running" of the current]]. Also too large excursions of alternating quantities can be limited by an [[http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-diodelimit.html|antiparallel interconnection]] in an analogous way (e.g. for actuators like loudspeakers). This also includes the suppressor diodes shown in the initial example, which protect electronic circuits from short-term overvoltages.
The relatively stable voltage drop across diodes makes it possible to use them as a voltage reference. For this purpose, a voltage divider consisting of a resistor and a diode is used, at which a constant voltage is dropped over a wide input voltage range. Especially [[http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-zenerref.html|Z diodes]] are predestined for this application due to the wide range of different breakdown voltages. In a further step, the voltage reference can be further developed in an amplifier circuit to a [[http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-opamp-regulator.html|precision voltage source]].

A nice introduction can be found in [[https://lx3.mint-kolleg.kit.edu/onlinekursphysik/html/1.4.3/xcontent5.html|KIT Bridge Course - 4.3.6 Diodes and Transistors (*)]]. \\ Some of the following passages, videos and pictures are taken from this introduction.

For another introduction, see [[https://www.leifiphysik.de/elektronik|LEIFIphysics]].
=== Introductory example===
The electronics in personal computers, mobile phones, electric toothbrushes, and like all other digital companions, are based on transistor circuits (see [[fundamentals_of_digital_engineering:at_the_heart_of_a_computer]]). In [[:fundamentals_of_digital_technology:start]] it has already been explained that all logic circuits can be traced back to NAND and NOR gates, respectively, via conjunctive and disjunctive normal forms. These in turn consist of transistors. In the simulation below, the structure of a NAND gate is shown in the current CMOS structure. CMOS here indicates the structure of the circuit and semiconductor structure: **C**omplementary **m**etal-**o**xide-**s**emiconductor - an oppositely complementary circuit of semiconductors of the metal-oxide-semiconductor structure.
The complementary structure is shown by the fact that.
* from the digital output ($OUT2$) to ground two transistors of one kind are connected in series and
* from the digital output ($OUT2$) to the 5V supply, two transistors of a different type are connected in parallel.
These two different kinds of MOS-transistors and further used kinds shall be explained in this chapter.

A variable resistor can be developed from the diode or PN junction. With this controlled transition resistor ("__tran__sfer re__sistor__" or better transistor) the resistance can be changed by a current and thus the current let through can be adjusted.
++++ Video-Transcript (Alternative to the explanation in the video) |
A transistor consists of two diodes connected against each other, which have a common n- or p-layer, e.g. a thin p-doped layer is placed between two n-doped layers. This is an npn transistor, the more common design. However, pnp transistors are also used for special applications. All three layers are electrically contacted, so the transistor has three terminals. The contact to the middle layer is called base (B), the contacts to the two outer layers collector (C) and emitter (E). The circuit symbol of a transistor is shown in .
A transistor is usually operated as a switch or as a current amplifier. To explain how it works, a typical transistor circuit is shown in the figure below. The circuit containing the consumer, here the incandescent lamp, is called the working circuit. Here, the voltage source must be connected in such a way that the technical direction of current through the transistor runs from the collector to the emitter, i.e. in the direction of the arrow indicated on the emitter.
The second circuit, in which a positive control voltage is applied to the base, is the control circuit. Holes are pumped from the p-doped base into the n-type emitter by the positive control voltage, since a negative voltage is applied to it. Thus, the base-emitter diode is forward biased. On the other hand, a positive voltage is applied to the collector, so that this diode actually blocks.
If the voltage $U_{BE}$ in the control circuit exceeds a certain threshold, a current $I_C$ can now flow in the operating circuit. In this respect, the transistor acts as a switch. The small current $I_B$ in the control circuit can therefore be used to control the large current $I_C$ in the operating circuit.
In a certain range, the current $I_B$ in the working circuit is proportional to the current $I_C$ in the control circuit. This ratio is called the current gain $\beta={I_C}/{I_B}$ of the transistor. This behavior can be understood by considering that the p-type base layer is very thin compared to the n-type layers. Electrons supplied through the control circuit diffuse through it rapidly, reaching $99\% $ in the collector connected to the positive terminal, and are pumped back through the working circuit into the emitter. Only a few pass through the emitter directly back into the control circuit. Therefore, the current in the control circuit is much less than the current in the working circuit.

=== Switching characters ===
{{drawio>bipolar_transistor_npn_or_pnp_structure}}
As just described, the bipolar transistor is built by a three-layer alternately doped layer structure, which corresponds to two diodes opposite and connected in series. Depending on the layer sequence (or "direction of the diodes"), pnp or npn transistors result, represented by different circuit symbols with three terminals (see ).
In both transistor variants, charge carriers are emitted from the emitter terminal (E) toward the collector terminal (C) if a suitable current flows through the base terminal (B). In simplified terms, the negative charge carriers of the n-doped sides could represent a current through an NPN structure if negative charge carriers were also present in the p-doped layer. The current $I_C$ flowing with it in the technical current direction is illustrated in the circuit symbol by the arrow direction at the emitter. In the NPN transistor, the current $I_C$ flows from the collector to the emitter. Since positive charge carriers enable conductivity in the PNP transistor, the technical current direction here points from the emitter to the collector and the arrow on the emitter points towards the collector. The direction of the arrow is similar to the direction of the diode or the PN junction.
Other mnemonic devices for the direction of the arrow are:
* "If the arrow hurts the base, it′s **pnp**"
* "If the arrow wants to separate from the base, it is **npn**".

The simulation on the right shows the correct connection of the transistors. In general, the arrow of the symbol of the technical current direction must point at the correct interconnection. The base current $I_C$ is almost always generated in the circuits by a voltage source between base and emitter with a voltage $U_{BE}$. In this case, a positive voltage with respect to the emitter is required for the NPN transistor and a negative voltage with respect to the emitter is required for the PNP transistor. In practical applications the NPN transistors predominate, among other things because the negative charge carriers used there produce a higher conductivity. For the following explanations only NPN transistors are considered.
A central question that arises from a closer look at the simulation on the right is: Why does a technical current __flow__ into the base, i.e. positive charge carriers into the P-layer, have to be supplied for the NPN transistor? Wouldn't it be more plausible if the negative charge carriers, which are not present and needed for transport, had to be supplied?

To understand this, the knowledge of the PN junction is needed. In the figure , the structure of the NPN transistor is shown in the band model. In the n-doped collector and emitter, the free-moving negative charge carriers (blue) and stationary positive charge carriers (red) are drawn, and in the base, correspondingly, the free-moving positive charge carriers (red) and stationary negative charge carriers (blue). Both PN-junctions have formed a junction. A positive voltage $U_{CE}$ is applied to the transistor, which cannot generate any current flow in the situation shown. Due to the positive voltage $U_{CE}$ and the missing potential at the base, the voltage $U_{BE}$ decreases, which leads to a reduction of the junction. In contrast, the voltage $U_{CB} = U_{CE} -U_{BE}$ increases. Thus, the junction between the base and the collector becomes larger. When the external voltage $U_{CE}$ is varied, there will always be at least one PN junction that is reverse biased, i.e. the transistor will block.

To remove the junction between the collector and the base, the latter must be connected in the forward direction. Until the transistor is switched through, this is several steps, which are described below via :
- Figure: The physics of this takes place in the narrow p-layer. The following images refer to the highlighted section.
- Image - Situation $U_{CE}=0V, U_{BE}=0V$: In this picture the unpowered transistor is shown. In it the free charge carriers (electrons in blue, holes in red) and the junction layers between base and emitter, and base and collector in yellow. Only the junction layer shows the stationary charge carriers with their sign. As shown in the band model, the stationary charge carriers are present everywhere in both doped regions.
- Figure - Situation $U_{CE}=0V, 0V0.6V$: When the forward voltage of the PN junction between base and emitter is exceeded, the injected holes and electrons cancel the bottom junction. In the simulation below, it can be seen that the circuitry of the transistor is such that in the diode circuit (which is not physically correct), the diode between the base and emitter becomes conductive.
- Figure - Situation $U_{CE}>0V, U_{BE}>0,6V$: Now with this voltage at the base, the working circuit, i.e. a voltage $U_{BE}>0$ should be present at the output. In the real system, the base is very small compared to the mean free path length of the electrons ("path to recombination with a hole"). This changes the situation at the upper PN junction. In a classical diode, no electrons are present in the p-doped region. However, the electrons present here can cross the base and compensate for the stationary positive charge carriers in the upper junction. The holes injected into the base in turn compensate for the stationary negative charge carriers. Thus, this junction layer is also removed. This is possible as long as enough holes are injected into the base.
- Figure - Situation $U_{CE}>0V, U_{BE}>0.6V$: Thus, in the NPN bipolar transistor, both holes (to remove the junction layers) and electrons (as the "main agents" responsible for charge transport, the so-called majority carrier charges) contribute to the conductivity. This is where the name __bipolar__transistor comes from.

The simulation on the right shows the simplified model of the opposing diodes. The necessary input current $I_C$ and the corresponding input voltage $U_{BE}$ resemble the ratios of the diode between base and emitter. In the principle of operation is shown. The current $I_B$ across the diode between base and emitter regulates the current $I_C$ in the working circuit. This regulation is done by the variable resistor $R_{CE}$.

=== Characteristic, characteristic curves, characteristic diagrams ===
In the previous chapter [[1 Fundamentals of Amplifiers]] the characteristics of a black box have already been discussed, there especially for an amplifier. The methodology can also be applied here. In the video above, the first parameter has already been described: The **current gain** $\beta=\frac{d I_C}{d I_B}$, or in the form of a graph, the **current control characteristic** $I_C(I_B)$.[(Note1>In practice, a distinction is still made between small-signal current gain $\beta = h_{fe}$ and large-signal current gain $B = h_{FE}$. In small-signal behavior, a relatively small change around a fixed operating point (e.g., around certain values $I_C$ and $U_{CE}$) is considered. In large-signal behavior, a change between 0 and a given value is considered. For nonlinear characteristics, the two quantities may differ. In this course, only the small-signal behavior is described. The large-signal behavior and the distinction between the two considerations are not considered in this course)].
Another characteristic is the **input characteristic field** $U_{BE}({I_B})$ or as differential characteristic (=slope in the characteristic) the **differential input resistance** $r_{BE}=\frac{d U_{BE}}{d I_B}$. As described earlier, the structure between the base and emitter resembles a diode. Accordingly, the input characteristic field resembles that of a diode. Since the current flow $I_B$ is very small (a few microamps or smaller), the input resistance $r_{BE}$ is large.
The following simulation shows the current control characteristic $I_C(I_B)$ and input characteristic(nfield) $U_{BE}({I_B})$ by varying $U_{BE}$ (or $I_B$).

For the description of the transistor, the **output characteristic field** $U_{CE}({I_C})$ and the **differential collector-emitter resistance** $r_{CE}=\frac{U_{CE}}{I_C}$ present in it as a slope is particularly important. This can be seen in the following simulation for different input voltages $U_{BE}$ (and thus different control currents $I_B$). The output characteristic field can be divided into different ranges:
- __junction__: at low input voltages $U_{BE}< 600mV$, the junction is not degraded. Accordingly, the entire transistor becomes non-conducting. In the output characteristic field, this can be seen by the fact that when the output voltage $U_{CE}$ is positive, the output current $I_C$ becomes very small. In this case, the transistor on the output side corresponds to a high-impedance resistor, or an open switch.
- __Gain region__ (or active region): at larger input voltages $U_{BE}> 600mV$, the junction is degraded. In the gain region, the output characteristic behaves as a straight line. The output current $I_C$ is thus only dependent on $I_B$, as defined by the current gain $\beta=I_C/I_B$.
- __Saturation region__: The saturation region is found at larger input voltages $U_{BE}> 600mV$ and only small output voltage $U_{CE}$. At constant input voltage $U_{BE}$ the output voltage behaves to the output current like a high non-linear resistor. in this case the transistor on the output side corresponds to a low impedance resistor, or a conducting switch.
In the datasheet, a different nomenclature is occasionally found, resulting from the so-called [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zweitor|H-characteristic of quadrupole theory]][(Note2>Quadpole theory is not considered in this course, but is derived in more detail in the Power Electronics subject.)]:
* current gain $h_{fe}=\beta(I_C, U_{CE})=\frac{I_C}{I_B}$
* input resistance $h_{ie}=r_{BE}(I_C, U_{CE})=\frac{U_{BE}}{I_B}$
* output resistance $h_{oe}=r_{CE}(I_B, U_{BE})=\frac{U_{CE}}{I_C}$

The bipolar transistor is used where a low threshold voltage or current amplifier is required. This is advantageous in various amplifier circuits, for example.
Bipolar transistors are also found in some simple power supplies.
The most common bipolar transistor circuit is the so-called collector circuit. This is characterized by the fact that a constant voltage - the supply voltage - is applied to the collector. Several collector circuits can be operated by a common voltage supply. This means that the same voltage is applied to all collector connections. Because of the wide use that bipolar transistors have had, even today the common voltage supply of electronic circuits is called $V_{CC}$, where $CC$ stands for **Common Collector**. This is often seen even when bipolar transistors are no longer used.
A major disadvantage of the bipolar transistor is that a control current is required for switching. Especially in digital circuits, but also in power electronics, this results in a non-negligible input power $P=U_{BE}\cdot I_B$. This leads to losses and waste heat, which must be taken into account in the power supply and thermal design. For this reason, bipolar transistors are no longer used in current microcontrollers. In these fields, the bipolar transistor has been displaced by the field-effect transistor.
{{fa>exclamation?32}}
There are 2 different types of bipolar transistors.
These differ in the type of layer structure, or majority carrier charges:
* **npn bipolar transistors**: Major conduction occurs via electrons. These cannot pass through the p-doped region without current $I_B$ across the base. By $I_B>0$ holes are introduced into the base, which remove junction layers.
* **pnp bipolar transistors**: The main conduction occurs through holes. These cannot pass through the n-doped region without current $I_B$ across the base. By $I_B<0$ electrons are introduced into the base, which degrade junction layers.
In the __bipolar__transistor, __both types of charge carriers are involved in the transport__.

A field effect transistor (FET) also consists of two diodes connected against each other, which have a common n- or p-layer. However, the conductivity of the field-effect transistor is not generated by applying a control__current__, but solely by a control__voltage__. In the case of the bipolar transistor, the control current was also generated by a control voltage. However, the control current must flow continuously to drive the bipolar transistor, since the charge carriers introduced via the base recombine internally.
In a special field-effect transistor is drawn, the so-called "metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor". This will be explained in more detail below. The outlines the principle of operation: the control voltage $U_{GS}$ (in English $V_{GS}$) regulates the current $I_D$ in the working circuit. This is done by the resistance between $R_{DS}$.
To distinguish the transistor types, and to emphasize the physics behind them, the terminals are labeled differently for the field-effect transistor:

* **(S) Source**: Terminal from which the charge carriers pass through the transistor (roughly corresponds to the emitter).
* **(G) Gate**: Terminal at which a voltage can be used to change the conductivity (roughly corresponds to the base, with control currents being injected there).
* **(D) Drain**: Terminal at which the charge carriers arrive and leave the transistor (corresponds approximately to the collector).
In addition, there is the **"Bulk" (B)** in the structure, which refers to the basic substrate of the transistor. This is usually not led out separately, but shorted to the source terminal.
In some FETs, the bulk is represented by the middle connection.
In the simulation on the right, you can see that the field-effect transistor behaves much like a switch, which is controlled by a voltage. No current seems to flow on the gate, but when the voltage on the gate changes, the behavior changes from "conductive" to "open".
==== Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) ====

The structure of the metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (**Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor: MOSFET)** resembles the bipolar transistor at first glance. In , the individual figures (1)...(3) show the layering of an n-channel (English n-channel) MOSFET, and in (4) the circuit symbol is shown again. In contrast to the npn-bipolar transistor, the middle p-doped layer (bulk) is not directly connected to the control electrode. Rather, the metal layer of the gate (, Fig. (5), gray), the insulating layer of the oxide (shown in purple), and the conductive p-doped layer of the bulk (shown in red) form a capacitor. It should be noted that the bulk is at the potential of the source connection (dotted line in the picture).
Without voltage difference $U_{GS}$ between gate and source, a (small) junction is formed at the p-n junctions. If the voltage difference $U_{GS}$ is increased, the capacitor between gate and bulk is charged. This accumulates electrons opposite the gate electrode (, Fig. (2), dark blue "wedge"). If the voltage difference $U_{GS}$ exceeds a certain threshold voltage, the enriched electrons form a channel between source and gate. This allows a current $I_D \gg 0$ to flow through the MOSFET (
