Power in AC circuitsPower in AC circuitsWhat’s the average power dissipated in the following circuits?

River Bendpower plant

LSUTransmission lines 735KVDistance~30 miles~50km Resistance 0.22/kmPower capacity 936 MW

If the power delivered is constant, we want the highest voltage and the lowest current to make the delivery efficient!At home, however, we don’t want high voltages! We use transformers.

A Very Real ExampleA Very Real Example

Current: P=IV, I=P/V=936MW/735kV=1300 A (!)Power dissipated in wires: Plost=I2R=(1300A)2x0.22/km x 50km=19 MW (~2% of 936)

You can get any voltage you wish just playing with the numberof turns. For instance, the coil in the ignition system of a car goesfrom 12V to thousands of volts. Or the transformers in most consumer electronics go from 110V to 6 or 12 V.

Electromagnetic WavesElectromagnetic Waves

Electromagnetic waves are able to transport energy from transmitterto receiver (example: from the Sun to our skin).

The power transported by the wave and itsdirection is quantified by the Poynting vector. John Henry Poynting (1852-1914)

In a wave, the fields change with time. Therefore the Poynting vector changes too!!The direction is constant, but the magnitude changes from 0 to a maximum value.

EM Wave Intensity, Energy DensityEM Wave Intensity, Energy DensityA better measure of the amount of energy in an EM wave is obtained by averaging the Poynting vector over one wave cycle. The resulting quantity is called intensity. Units are also Watts/m2.

The total EM energy density is then 022

Solar EnergySolar EnergyThe light from the sun has an intensity of about 1kW/m2. What would be the total power incident on a roof of dimensions 8x20m?

I=1kW/m2 is power per unit area.P=IA=(103 W/m2) x 8m x 20m=0.16 MW!!

The solar panel shown (BP-275) has dimensions47in x 29in. The incident power is then 880 W. The actual solar panel delivers 75W (4.45A at 17V): less than 10% efficiency….

The intensity of a wave is power per unit area. If one has a source that emits isotropically (equally in all directions) the power emitted by the source pierces a larger and larger sphere as the wave travels outwards.

So the power per unit area decreases as the inverse of distance squared.

EM Spherical WavesEM Spherical Waves

ExampleExampleA radio station transmits a 10 kW signal at a frequency of 100 MHz. (We will assume it radiates as a point source). At a distance of 1km from the antenna, find the amplitude of the electric and magnetic field strengths, and the energy incident normally on a square plate of side 10cm in 5min.

Radio transmitter:

If the dipole antennais vertical, so will bethe electric fields. Themagnetic field will behorizontal.

The radio wave generated is said to be “polarized”.

In general light sources produce “unpolarized waves”emitted by atomic motions in random directions.

EM Waves: PolarizationEM Waves: Polarization

Completely unpolarized light will have equal components in horizontal and verticaldirections. Therefore running the light througha polarizer will cut the intensity in half: I=I0/2

When polarized light hits a polarizing sheet,only the component of the field aligned with thesheet will get through.

)= θcos(EEy

And therefore: θ20 cosII =

Polarized sunglasses operate on this formula.They cut the horizontally polarized lightfrom glare (reflections on roads, cars, etc).

ExampleExampleInitially unpolarized light of intensity I0 is sent into a system of three polarizers as shown. Wghat fraction of the initial intensity emerges from the system? What is the polarization of the exiting light?

• Through the first polarizer: unpolarized to polarized, so I1=½I0. • Into the second polarizer, the light is now vertically polarized. Then, I2=I1cos20 = 1/4 I1 =1/8 I0.

• Now the light is again polarized, but at 60o. The last polarizer is horizontal, so I3=I2cos20 3/4 I0=0.094 I0. • The exiting light is horizontally polarized, and has 9% of the original amplitude.
