R-C circuit

Snubber circuii More conventional protection from high dvidi is to provide an R-C circuit across each device, as shown in Figure 6.37. The circuit provides a low impedance path to all the harmonic quantities and draws large charging currents and absorbs the energy released, Q, and in turn damps dvIdi within safe limits across each device. Now Q = C idu/di)...

In Eq. (5) r defines the dielectric relaxation time (r = e/cr) according to which obviously a charge perturbation decays exponentially in a conductor. This defines a parallel R-C circuit as a good approximation of a homogeneous conductor (see Section III). In the following part of this section we consider the steady state, in which the conduction current represents the total current and capacitive contributions have vanished. 

A reasonable approximation of the impact of such a boundary in series to the current flow is provided by a parallel R-C circuit (R, C ) in series to the bulk impedance... 

R-C circuit. Assuming the use of operational amplifier instrumentation, this is a simple and inexpensive adjunct to provide for effective integration of potential-time curves. 

Figure 28 A typical Nyquist plot obtained from a nickel electrode polarized to low potentials (0.2 V versus Li/Li+) in PC solutions (1 M LiBF4 in this case). The equivalent circuit analog of 4 R C circuits in series and their separate Nyquist plots (four semicircles) are also shown. The frame in the lower right represents a typical fitting between the experimental data and this equivalent circuit analog [34]. (With copyright from The Electrochemical Society Inc.)...

To estimate the effects of electrode polarization, the equivalent circuit of Fig. 16 can be used. It shows a blocking layer capacitance Cb (actually the series combination of two identical capacitors — one at each electrode interface) together with a parallel R — C circuit representing the bulk material. The separate thicknesses of the blocking layer 2tb and the total specimen length, L, must be used to construct the capacitances and resistance. The blocking layer capacitance Cb has the value... 

The -> impedance of a planar capacitive electrode immersed in a resistive solution conforms to that of a serial R-C circuit. If the geometry of the capacitive electrode is some fractal, then the electrode impedance, Z(o>), is a - CPE, Z = const ( to) n, and the exponent n - depending on the actual form of the fractal - is some function of Df. 

There are two limits of the impedance (O = 0, Z = / and ro —> o°, Z = 0. The corresponding complex plane and Bode plots for the same values of R and C elements as those used in the series R-C model above, are shown in Fig. 3. The Nyquist plot shows a semicircle of radius RH with the center on the real axis and the frequency at the semicircle maximum equal to (0= RC. The circuit s characteristic breakpoint frequency (the inverse of the characteristic time constant), as observed in the impedance Bode graph, is the same as for the series and the parallel R-C circuits. The complex plane admittance plot represents a straight line parallel to the imaginary axis [Fig. 3(c)], which is similar to the impedance complex plane plot for the series R-C connection. 

III.l [see also Eq. (17) and Fig. 2], and that in the presence of a faradaic reaction [Section III. 2, Fig. 4(a)] are found experimentally on liquid electrodes (e.g., mercury, amalgams, and indium-gallium). On solid electrodes, deviations from the ideal behavior are often observed. On ideally polarizable solid electrodes, the electrically equivalent model usually cannot be represented (with the exception of monocrystalline electrodes in the absence of adsorption) as a smies connection of the solution resistance and double-layer capacitance. However, on solid electrodes a frequency dispersion is observed that is, the observed impedances cannot be represented by the connection of simple R-C-L elements. The impedance of such systems may be approximated by an infinite series of parallel R-C circuits, that is, a transmission line [see Section VI, Fig. 41(b), ladder circuit]. The impedances may often be represented by an equation without simple electrical representation, through distributed elements. The Warburg impedance is an example of a distributed element. 

The conductivities of PAn films were also examined with a.c. impedance measurements. Glarum and Marshall [209] reported that the oxidized PAn behaved like a series combination of resistance and capacitance and obtained very similar potential dependencies of equivalent series conductance to those obtained by in situ measurements by Wrighton et al. [28i]. Two different time constants of the R-C circuit were detected in their work, which they related to ionic and electronic conductivities. Rubinstein et al [210], who used a parallel combination of a capacitor with a... 

Figure 5.25c represents an equivalent circuit that consists of resistance and doublelayer capacitance in series. Equation (5.66) is used to calculate the impedance. For an R-C circuit in series, Zl = R and Z = — j/o)C. The phase angle 6 varies between 0° and 90°, depending on the frequency used in the measurement. Equation (5.66) when 1/2...

In the series two-component model circuit, there is no direct access to both components from the external terminals. Figure 9.2. Because the two components are in series, the current can be externally controlled, but not the voltage division. Accordingly, a constant amplitude current i is applied across the model series circuit, and the voltage v is measured. The impedance Z has a direct relationship with a series R-C circuit, because the real part Z is R, and the imaginary part Z" is X = — l/wC. The series values are measured because it is proportionality between impedance Z and measured v. i is the independent reference sine wave, with zero phase shift per definition, and therefore here is designated as a scalar ... 

The impedance of ideally polarizable liquid electrodes (e.g., mercury, amalgams, indium-gallium) may be modeled by an R-C circuit (Fig. 4.1a). However, most impedance studies are now carried out at solid electrodes. At these electrodes the double-layer capacitance is not purely capacitive and often displays a certain frequency dispersion. Such behavior cannot be modeled by a simple circuit consisting of R, L, and C elements. To explain such behavior, a constant phase element (CPE) is usually used.
