Overview of the course segment (Circuit Theory Part 1)

  • The speaker introduces Circuit Theory (전기회로/회로이론) “Part 1” as a topic with many calculation problems.
  • They promise to focus on core problems while reducing difficulty, suggesting they’ll cover about ~5 key problems instead of everything.
  • Overall message: don’t be intimidated—this is framed as exam-relevant fundamentals, useful for electrical/industrial certifications.

Methodologies & step-by-step instructions presented

Problem #1: Series RL transient current at a given time

Given / setup

  • Switch closed at (t=0)
  • DC voltage: 100 V
  • Resistance: (R = 10\ \Omega)
  • Inductance: (L = 1\ \text{H})
  • Find current at (t = 0.01\ \text{s}), i.e., (i(t=0.01))

Key methodology

  • Recognize the circuit as series RL.
  • Apply the standard series RL transient current formula (referred to as “Formula 2”).
  • Match the time substitution to the formula’s exponential form:
    • The speaker treats 0.01 s as (1/100) and simplifies the exponential accordingly.
  • Exponential simplification leads to a value such that:
    • The computed ratio is approximately 0.63.

Result interpretation

  • At (t = 0.01\ \text{s}), the current is about 63% of the final steady-state value.
  • Connection to time constant:
    • Transient period: before the circuit fully settles
    • Time constant: the time at which the RL response reaches about (0.63) of its final value

Lesson

  • Once you identify series RL, you can immediately apply the memorized transient-current formula.
  • Understanding time constant / transients makes the exponential behavior feel less abstract.

Problem #2: Reactive power from power factor (P–Q–S relationships)

Given

  • “Emergency power” context: 12 kV
  • Power factor: 0.81 (subtitles show slight variations like “0.8” and later (\cos\theta \approx 0.81); the intended idea is (\cos\theta =) power factor)

  • Asked to calculate reactive power (Q)

Key methodology

  • Use the power triangle:
    • (P): active power
    • (Q): reactive power
    • (S): apparent power
  • Power factor relation:
    • (\cos\theta = \text{power factor})
  • Trig relationship for the triangle:
    • (\dfrac{Q}{S} = \sin\theta)
    • So (Q = S\sin\theta)
  • Use the identity:
    • (\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1)
    • Typically: (\sin\theta = \sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta})

Result interpretation

  • Reactive power computed around 13.2 kVAr.
  • (They also note the parallel approach for active power:)
    • (P = S\cos\theta)

Lesson

  • If the question asks for reactive power and provides power factor, the fastest route is:
    • power triangle + (\cos\theta =) power factor + trig identity.

Problem #3: Equivalent resistance ((R_{th})) using open-circuit logic (Thevenin/Norton style)

Concept addressed

  • Find equivalent resistance labeled as (R_{th}).
  • Goal: simplify the circuit by finding the resistance seen from terminals A–B.

Given / circuit interpretation

  • A current source is present.
  • Terminals A and B are open (disconnected).
  • Use a viewpoint based on where current can actually flow.

Key methodology

  • For (V_{th}):
    • Look at the voltage across the resistor that lies in the relevant conduction path.
    • The speaker’s computed claim:
      • (V_{th} = 8\Omega \times 2\Omega = 16\ \text{V})
  • For (R_{th}):
    • Since A–B are open, the current source branch is treated as effectively non-contributing from that viewpoint.
    • The speaker concludes:
      • (R_{th} = 8\ \Omega)
  • Equivalent model stated:
    • (V = 16\ \text{V})
    • (R_{th} = 8\ \Omega)

How they constrain solving scope

  • They explicitly limit the reduction:
    • “For this problem, this is as far as we go…”
    • Further steps would be handled later if the next question required them.

Lesson

  • For equivalent resistance:
    • Apply the open-circuit condition and the logic of which paths conduct.
  • Disconnected terminals can significantly change which components matter.

Problem #4: Harmonic current in AC (RMS vs peak + impedance scaling by harmonic order)

Given

  • Task: determine the 7th harmonic current corresponding to the method indicated in the subtitles.
  • They reference impedance magnitude:
    • (|Z| = \sqrt{R^2 + X^2})
  • Set parameters with simplified values such as (R=1\ \Omega) and harmonic-frequency-related scaling.

Key methodology

  • Harmonic current magnitude:
    • (i_n = \dfrac{V_{n,\text{RMS}}}{|Z_n|})
  • RMS vs peak handling:
    • If the voltage is given in a peak form like (75\sqrt{2}),
    • Convert to RMS by dividing by (\sqrt{2}):
      • (V_{n,\text{RMS}} = 75\ \text{V}) (their computed value)
  • Impedance scaling for harmonics:
    • Inductive reactance: (X_L = \omega L)
    • For harmonic order (n), reactance scales by (n):
      • (X_{L,n} = n\cdot X_{L,1})
    • The speaker notes this specifically for their “3rd harmonic” portion in the impedance computation.
  • Then use:
    • (i = V/Z)

Result interpretation

  • Final numeric claim: the relevant harmonic current becomes 15 (subtitles were noisy, but the endpoint was a clear numeric result).

Lesson

  • The solution depends on two common “gotchas”:
    1. Convert voltage to the correct form (RMS)
    2. Scale impedance/reactance using the harmonic order (multiply reactance by (n))

Problem #5: Resonance/correction circuit (one-step component value using a formula)

Concept

  • A correction/compensation circuit where a single formula yields the required resistance (R) (or a related parameter).

Key methodology

  • Use the provided resonance/equivalent frequency relationship as a direct formula application.
  • Apply component substitutions:
    • capacitor term: ((3R))
    • inductor term: ((2R))
  • Emphasize unit consistency:
    • capacitor given as (10 \times 10^{-6}) (i.e., (10\ \mu\text{F}))
    • convert micro-units carefully so powers of 10 match
  • Compute using a square-root expression:
    • Evaluating with a calculator gives 14.15 as the final answer.

Lesson

  • Correction/resonance problems often reduce to formula substitution.
  • Accuracy heavily depends on unit conversion and correct variable placement.

Calls to action / study strategy (non-problem content)

  • The speaker repeatedly encourages:
    • memorize key formulas (especially “Formula 2”)
    • if topics feel difficult (time constant/transients, Thevenin/Norton, harmonics/RMS), refer to their playlists, especially “Electrical Theory” for basic circuit concepts.
  • They request feedback in comments and say they’ll improve future versions.
  • They preview the next installment: “Parallel Theory Part 2.”
