AI:
Example Calculation:
Suppose we have a parallel LC circuit with:
L = 10 μH
C = 100 pF
R = 10 Ω
f₀ = 1 MHz
I = 1 A (peak current)
Energy stored:
EL = (1/2) × 10 μH × (1 A)^2 = 5 μJ
EC = (1/2) × 100 pF × (100 V)^2 = 5 μJ
ET = EL + EC = 10 μJ
Energy loss per cycle:
ΔE = (1/2) × (1 A)^2 × 10 Ω × (1/1 MHz) = 5 nJ
Power input required:

If the inductor is in fact the primary coil of a transformer and the output from the secondary coil is fed to a capacitor bank before being utilized. Under these circumstances would the primary coil experience bemf?
AI:
In your scenario, where the primary coil is part of a transformer and the secondary coil feeds a capacitor bank, the primary coil will still experience a Back Electromotive Force (BEMF).
BEMF occurs due to:
- Self-inductance: Changing current in the primary coil induces a voltage.
- Mutual inductance: Current in the primary coil induces a voltage in the secondary coil.
- Load on the secondary coil: The capacitor bank will influence the BEMF.
- Transformer efficiency: Energy transfer between primary and secondary coils.
- Reflected load: The impedance of the secondary coil and capacitor bank reflects back to the primary coil.
- Transformer leakage inductance: Non-ideal transformer behavior.
- Use the transformer's mutual inductance (M) and self-inductance (L).
- Consider the reflected load impedance (Z_reflected).
- Apply the BEMF equation: V_BEMF = -M * (dI/dt) - L * (dI/dt)
- V_BEMF = Back Electromotive Force
- M = Mutual inductance
- L = Self-inductance
- dI/dt = Rate of change of current
Suppose:
- M = 1 μH
- L = 10 μH
- Z_reflected = 50 Ω
- I = 1 A (peak current)
- f₀ = 1 MHz
V_BEMF ≈ -1 μH * (1 A / 1 μs) - 10 μH * (1 A / 1 μs) ≈ -11 V
Keep in mind that this calculation assumes ideal conditions. In practice, additional losses and non-idealities will affect the BEMF.

BEMF Impact on Resonance:
- Damps oscillations: BEMF opposes changes in current, reducing oscillation amplitude.
- Shifts resonant frequency: BEMF changes the effective inductance, altering the resonant frequency.
- Increases energy loss: BEMF contributes to energy dissipation, reducing quality factor (Q).
Quantifying BEMF's Impact:
- Resonant frequency shift: Δf₀ ≈ (1/2π) * (M^2 / (L^2 * C))
- Quality factor reduction: ΔQ ≈ (M^2 / (L^2 * R))
where:
- M = Mutual inductance
- L = Self-inductance
- C = Capacitance
- R = Resistance
Minimizing BEMF's Impact:
- Optimize transformer design: Minimize mutual inductance (M).
- Use high-quality components: Reduce resistance (R) and increase capacitance (C).
- Active resonance control: Implement feedback loops to maintain resonance.
Resonance Condition:
For resonance to occur, the primary coil's impedance must be:
Z_primary = √(L / C)
BEMF will modify this impedance:
Z_primary_BEMF = √((L - M^2 / L) / C)
Resulting in a shifted resonant frequency:
f₀_BEMF ≈ (1/2π) * √((L - M^2 / L) / C)
