What is an example of a dynamic circuit?

An electrical circuit containing at least one dynamic circuit element (inductor or capacitor) is an example of a dynamic system. The behavior of inductors and capacitors is described using differential equations in terms of voltages and currents. The resulting set of differential equations can be rewritten as state equations in normal form.

How do you describe the behavior of inductors and capacitors?

The behavior of inductors and capacitors is described using differential equations in terms of voltages and currents. The resulting set of differential equations can be rewritten as state equations in normal form. The eigenvalues of the state matrix can be used to verify the stability of the circuit.

What are the components of a dynamic circuit?

The behavior of dynamic circuits, consisting of independent sources, inductors, capacitors, and resistors, is described by a system of differential equations. A first-order linear circuit contains only one dynamic element (an inductor or a capacitor), other linear circuit elements (resistors, linear controlled sources), and independent sources.

What are the simplest dynamic circuit elements?

The simplest dynamic circuit elements are the linear capacitor and the linear inductor. The operating equation of the linear capacitor is i c t = C ∙ d v c t dt where v c t is the voltage at the capacitor terminals, i c t is the current through the capacitor, and C is a constant called the capacitor capacity.

How do you use a capacitor in a power supply?

The idea is to use a capacitor C in parallel with the (imperfect) power supply and in parallel with the load, the so-called bypass capacitor. This capacitor ideally becomes a short circuit for the high-frequency noise component of the source and shorts it out (or bypasses). The corresponding circuit diagram is shown in Fig. 6.19b.

Who invented the capacitor?

The capacitor itself was invented yet in 1745 by Ewald Georg von Kleist (1700–1748), German lawyer and physicist, and by Dutch scientist Pieter Van Musschenbroek (1692–1761). Some also believe the Biblical Ark of the Covenant was protected by a first capacitor—the Leyden jar—capable of producing thousands of volts of static electricity.
