NEMIG: A New Perspective for the Lumped System Assumption in Electromagnetic Systems: From Maxwell's Equations to Lumped Circuit Model - Professor Vedat Tavsanoglu - 25th October 2017
Abstract: A new perspective for the Lumped System Assumption (LSA) through its derivation from Maxwell's Equations will be presented and the following will be addressed:
- Feynman's description of ideal coil, capacitor and resistor and the proposal for the LSA in electromagnetic systems
- Derivation of Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) and Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) equations, which are algebraic, from two Maxwell's Equations, i.e., Faraday's Law Equation (FLE) and Continuity Equation (CE or Maxwell's Fifth Law) which are PDE, as implications of LSA?
- Zero magnetic field outside inductors is the necessary and sufficient condition for the validity of KVL; why is conservative electric field important?
- Zero displacement current outside capacitors is the necessary and sufficient condition for the validity of KCL.
- Lumped Circuit Model (LCM), a set of ODE, is obtained from Maxwell's equations, a set of PDE, as an implication of LSA.
- What is the difference between a physical lumped circuit and the LCM?
- Are KVL and KCL valid in physical electromagnetic systems or only in LCM? What is the catch?
- Common examples of violation of KVL and KCL in physical circuits.
- Duality between inductor and capacitor with respect to FLE and CE and the derivation of the mathematical models of the inductor and capacitor, which are ODE, respectively from FLE and CE, which are PDE, as a result of the LSA?
- Using the new perspective for LSA can d'Alambert Principle be interpreted in electromagnetic systems as a generalization of KVL and KCL?
- How does LSA prevent wave propagation?
