When I got to RF transmission lines and impedance matching I finally understood it intuitively, and was surprised to learn it applied everywhere. Just goes to show that some "fundamentals" may need to be taught more than once, and from more than one perspective. Ohm's Law, in all its many forms, RULES!

I think in schools I been to they scrapped electronics or merged it in science at some point in around 2000 where they focussed on theory and curiculum test material. No wires, battteries or even a volt meter on site. Lots of writing but very little. I was told by a student who got transferred mid way about the electron flow (in the new science curriculum module) being wrong compared to an older book he was talking about and referred to it as "junk science". The teacher said it was easier to teach it like that so us students can remember it to pass the exam.

17:14 Maximum Power Point Tracking, a great way to think of this is one that we have all learnt intuitively from childhood with bicycle gears. Too low and your legs almost free spin on the pedals with little forwards movement, Too high and you feel your legs burn as you heave on the pedals, again with little movement. But when you use MPPT, starting in low gear to take off, click up gears as you accelerate to higher and higher speeds, you "ride" that peak efficiency, *Transducing* the most chemical potential energy into kinetic energy, with the least "wasted" energy, (~2000W Gross) Its like having a bar heater in each leg..... Feels like it to :-D

Hey Dave, great to brush up on the fundamentals, and I will be giving the apprentices homework to watch your videos! I’m an auto electrician and thinking about the maximum power calculations in the automotive setting straight away made me think of a battery and a starter motor. Obviously it’s a bit different as internal resistance in a battery depends on many things including temperature. But it makes sense that having the battery and starter motor matched to get peak power across the load. When a battery ages and Sumgait on occurs internal resistance increases and the lid is no longer balanced for peak power. This can cause slow cranking, high current draw and low voltage. Through hands on experience I’ve seen the data and now you’ve shown me the theory and it made a happy match in my head! Thanks 🙏

thanks Dave!... i needed that refresher!

Ohm's law is a physical law. In physics the voltage is denoted by U. After all, we denote the current with the letter I, and not A (amper) or C (current). :)

Thank you! I have a visual type memory and seeing the visual representation of formulas is very helpful.

Incandescent light bulbs are non-linear resistances. Even at the simplest analysis, they have a very distinct kink in their I vs. R graph at the point where they start to emit light.

I find square box resistor symbol much more convenient, because it has standard way to integrate dissipation power within it.

Re the Ohm's Law Triangle: Maybe a small point, but we learned that you simply put your finger over the term you want and what's not covered is the answer.

Dave's subtitle reminded me of something I read in a car forum. These guys were generally against Harley Davidson motorcycles, because they believed they were old technology, and inefficient. (not much mechanical energy out for the chemical energy one puts in. I won't get into THAT argument.) One person said "What do you mean? A Harley is almost 100 percent efficient..." After some incredulous comments, he finished "...at converting chemical energy into noise."

Thanks again!

I didn't want to do (read lazy here) the messy math around max power transfer that wasn't intuitive or useful in my mind. I did continue on but never really advanced until I went completely digital. This was before personal computers and spreadsheets. I have, however, circled back around (decades later) and am continuously learning. Thanks for teaching/re-teaching...

That was mostly review, but I do like these videos for fundamentals. In the first half of my career, I never even thought about the efficiency formula, but in my last job I was working on the design of high voltage dc-dc converters. I quickly learned that, and used on a daily basis. It’s amazing how efficient low voltage dc-dc converters have become. Is as in seminar where the low voltage guys were talking about 95%+ efficiency, where in the HV domain we would it was hard to get over 75 to 80%. On another note, I’ve been playing around with Mathematica, and I was thinking it would be a good way to run the analysis you ran in Excel. That was a nice demonstration of the calculus concept of maxima, but with out getting bogged down with the calculus. Mathematica gets around a lot of the Excel limitations, but it is way too expensive, so I only use the “Home” version and it can’t be used for commercial work. Great video.

A long time ago, before I had a grasp on the very basics (electronics is not my area at all), I found the the relation of ohm's law to power and heat a little bit counter-intuitive due to how the human brain tends to simplify things. I had the association that "more current = more power = things get more hot", and since I knew that adding resistors lowers current (given the same voltage, that was all I ever saw), I also formed the mental association of "more resistance = things get less hot". So then when you see stuff like P=I²R, the brain goes "wait, so the less hot things get, the more hot things get?" for a split second until you actually think about it 😆.

Bless you for excellent lessons to new players (and, in all humility, as long as we’re working toward our personal best, we are all new players at some point). There’s a special place reserved in paradise for enthusiastic teachers like you. (enthousiastḗs "person inspired by a god" ).

I love the theory videos thanks dave !

I²R losses, you forgot the most dangerous one: bad contacts, loosy connectors 🔥 Most dangerous when R contact equals R load, the power will be spread 50/50. When the load is 1000 Watt, and Rcontact= Rload, the contact of a few mm² will convert 500Watt into heat.

Amazing content! Thanks for Excel chart! 👌👍💪

Ok, who else got to 12:04, where Dave asks why LEDs heat up, and immediately said, “I squared R losses”? I presume it wasn’t just me, after he hammered it home starting around 4:34. :)

You can deliver more power with less series resistance for higher loads (lower load resistance). This is shown when you changed Rs to 10.

At the point of maximum power transfer half the power is being dissipated in Rs so your efficiency (load power / power supplied by the ideal voltage source) is only 50%. The efficiency increases as Rl increases, but that also decreases the delivered power, it is just that the power wasted in Rs decreases even faster. You only get 100% efficiency when Rl is infinite, but then you get no power at all! You get similar results if the power supply is idealized as a current source with a parallel resistor. You once again get maximum power to the load when Rl = Rs, but now you get 100% efficiency when Rl is zero, and 0% efficiency when Rl is infinite. But almost all real-world power sources are voltage sources with series resistance. Then there's solar panels, which have a non-linear I:V relationship which also varies with illumination. This is why you have MPP controllers which adjust the apparent load resistance to get the most power as the illumination varies.

The maximum power transfer theorem can be seen as the solution to an optimisation problem: what's the load that maximises current draw while minimising voltage drop across the source

@waynecostanza2280

3 жыл бұрын

This is maximum power transfer to a T. Maximum voltage delivered to the load = voltage divider between Rs and Rl while keeping series resistance Rs + Rl at a minimum to yield highest possible current. So what’s the highest voltage drop across Rl while keeping (Rs+Rl ) to a minimum . Well easy Rs=Rl. Nicely done.

V=IxR, P=I^2xR, derive the rest with basic algebra

Very helpful, thank you. I have always been confused by impedance matching - have you done a video on that yet? I could watch another I suppose but really enjoy your style and approach.

At the end of your day, whatever you did requiring whatever sort of energy form, it ends up in heat. Driving a car? 100% of the energy that was in your tank or batterie ended up in heat, lastely when breaking down to stop the car to 0 mph | kph. Crazy huh, when you realize this. Gives a new sight on what really is ecofriendly ^^ (renunciation, abstinence, whatever the best word is in english for that).

Can 't wait for DC transients... impulse or unit step response .. haha

sounds similar to how RF impedance matching works, Zin (Rs) = Zout (Rl) => VSWR = 1

In engineering, there is rarely, if ever an all around best way to do something. There's always some kind of tradeoff. Power vs. efficiency, etc. It seems like some vast cosmic conspiracy.

You should talk about the need to make the load resistance much larger than the source resistance if you want to transfer power efficiently.

@@EEVblog The wiki page on MPTT shows power transfer vs power max and efficiency as two separate curves as a function of load resistance divided by source resistance. The MPTT curve is just as you describe it. The efficiency curve is at 50% when the load resistance is equal to the source resistance, and goes up monotonically. The power transfer curve goes down asymptotically to 50% as the load resistance to source resistance ratio gets very high. I design preamps and power amplifiers for sonar systems. For the preamps, you want to minimize self noise, but maximize power transfer too if possible. Efficiency isn't important. For the power amplifier driving the transducer, you want the transducer's resistance to be much higher than the power amplifier's output impedance to obtain high efficiency. This means you need to design the power amplifier to have twice the output drive that you will actually be using. This is true for power supplies as well. This has caused a lot of confusion over the years, including of some big names. Thomas Edison was struggled with this for several years before figuring it out...

I'm confident you could make a less than 100% efficient resistor by having some of the power converted to light (and smoke)..

The phrase is "Maximum Power Transfer". One side is the source, the other side is the load. The maximum power you can transfer from the source into the load occurs when the ESR of the source equals the load resistance. The load is the object of the power transfer. The series resistance and the load resistance are: 1. Joined in circuit as required for circuit operation 2. Two values that are used in the appropriate equations 3. Two very independent elements "you are treating the series and load resistance as one" - not at all. They are part of the same network and subject to appropriate calculation.

Are you planning to extend this to the "complex" power theory? (Power in reactance loads, Power-factor, VA, Q, S, etc ) About max power when Rs = RL, this is correct but leads to misunderstandings when you talk about hardware like transmitters. Rs from a transmitter is not 50 ohm, it is much lower. A transmitter is designed to deliver a certain amount of power (its max power without blowing up) into a 50 ohm load. If the load is not 50 ohms while using 50 ohm transmission lines you get reflections. That is in-depended from Rs. But just because a TX delivers its max continuous power (without burning or blowing up) in 50 ohms it will not say that Rs is 50 ohms too. It is the same for DC, the max power transfer possible according math (when Rs=Rl) is only possible if the used parts can handle that power and a lot of people forget that. The max power a load can dissipate and a source can deliver is not related to the max possible powertransfer based on Rs=Rl. Simple if you think of this, if the max power of a Rs source is 100W into a 1 ohm load, the load resistor must be 100W, a 1W would still cause a 100W max power but very short, the resistor would just burn up. Everybody gets that, but when it comes to 50 ohm and RF many people forget that max power is not equal to the max power a source can deliver and a load can dissipate.
