Difference in DC and AC I

Direct Current (DC):The direct current is that current which

flows in one direction only and generally has constant magnitude
Alternating Current (AC):The alternating current is that
current which periodically passes through a definite cycle of
changes in respect of magnitude as well as direction.

Difference in DC and AC II

srujan.elect@gmail.com Ganesh N. Jadhav February 22, 2018 5 / 19

Advantages of AC

Can generate high voltage with less construction and operating

per kW cost.
Can raise or lower voltage using static device known as
transformer.
High voltage and extra high voltage transmission lines are most
economical to transfer the bulk power from plant to consumer
Construction, maintenance and losses are low in AC machines
hence high efficiency.
AC can be converted to DC at consumer end using power
electronic converter or rectifier

srujan.elect@gmail.com Ganesh N. Jadhav February 22, 2018 6 / 19

Generation of AC I
Construction:
It consists of a single turn rectangular coil
made up of some conducting material
called as armature
The coil is so placed that it can rotated
about its own axis a a constant speed in a
uniform magnetic field.
The ends of armature coils are connected
to slip rings which rotates with armature.
Two carbon brushes are placed on this slip
rings to collect the current.

srujan.elect@gmail.com Ganesh N. Jadhav February 22, 2018 7 / 19

Generation of AC II
According to dynamically induced emf, whenever a rotating
conductor with length l(m) moving with velocity v(m/s) placed
in magnetic field of of density B(W b/m2 ), emf is induced in it.
The magnitude of emf is given by e = Blvsinθ volts.
Where θ is angle between magnetic field and conductor. If
conductor is rotating at the speed of ω rad/sec, then θ = ωt.
The emf induced in the conductor is maximum, when θ = 900 .
It is emax = Blv.
Let us calculate emf at all position.

Equations of an Alternating Quantity
According to dynamically induced emf, whenever a rotating
conductor with length l(m) moving with velocity v(m/s) placed
in magnetic field of of density B(W b/m2 ), emf is induced in it.
The magnitude of emf is given by e = Blvsinθ volts.
Where θ is angle between magnetic field and conductor. If
conductor is rotating at the speed of ω rad/sec, then θ = ωt.
The emf induced in the conductor is maximum, when θ = 900 .
It is Emax = Blv.
The emf induced in the coil is given by
e(t) = Blvsinθ = Blvsin(ωt) = Blvsin(2πf t) = Blvsin 2πt T
As Emax = Blv, e(t) = Emax sinθ = Emax sin(ωt) =
Emax sin(2πf t) = Emax sin 2πtT
Similarly currents can be expressed as
i(t) = Imax sinθ = Imax sin(ωt) = Imax sin(2πf t) = Imax sin 2πt

factor.

quantity.

srujan.elect@gmail.com Ganesh N. Jadhav February 27, 2018 3 / 19

Average value I

In an alternating quantity, the positive and negative half cycle is

exactly same with opposite magnitude.
Hence, average value over a full cycle is zero.
To calculate average value of an alternating quantity, half cycle
is considered.
There are two methods to find the average value (i) Graphical
method (ii) Analytical method

srujan.elect@gmail.com Ganesh N. Jadhav February 27, 2018 4 / 19

Average value: Graphical Method

at regular interval in a half cycle.
It gives the values i1 , i2 , · · · , in
corresponding to time t1 , t2 , · · · , tn
respectively as shown in Fig.

RMS Value

The magnitude of an alternating current varies from instant to

instant, whereas the magnitude of direct current remains
constant with respect to time.
It is necessary to have a common measurement process for both
AC and DC.
Such measurement is only possible by considering the effect of
both quantities in given time.
One such effect is heating in resistance.

srujan.elect@gmail.com Ganesh N. Jadhav February 27, 2018 8 / 19

RMS Value

The effective of rms value of an alternating current is defined as

Effective or rms value of current
Ii is given by the direct current which when flowing through a given
circuit for a given time, produces the same amount of heat as
produced by the alternating current when flowing through the same
circuit for the same time.
There are two methods to calculate rms value (i) Graphical
method, (ii) Analytical method

srujan.elect@gmail.com Ganesh N. Jadhav February 27, 2018 9 / 19

RMS Value:Graphical Method I

Let the current waveform is as given in fig.

In AC both cycles are exactly similar, hence for calculation of

rms value half cycle is also sufficient.
Let samples of AC waveform is taken at regular interval in a half
cycle.

Let this current is passing through a resistance of R(Ω) for a
time duration of t(sec)
Heat produced in 1st interval is H1 = i21 R nt J
Heat produced in 2nd interval is H2 = i22 R nt J
Similarly Heat produced in nth interval is Hn = i2n R nt J

developed by a current of I amperes when flowing through
resistance R in time period t(sec) is
