電氣工程及其自動(dòng)化專業(yè)英語(yǔ)第一章課文翻譯

1、第一章第一篇sectiongTwo variables u(t) and i(t) are the most basic concepts in an electric circuit, they characterize the various relationships in an electric circuitu(t)和i(t)這兩個(gè)變量是電路中最基本的兩個(gè)變量，它們刻劃了電路的各種關(guān)系。Charge and Current The concept of electric charge is the underlying principle for explaining all ele

2、ctrical phenomena. Also, the most basic quantity in an electric circuit is the electric charge. Charge is an electrical property of the atomic particles of which matter consists, measured in coulombs (C). 電荷和電流 電荷的概念是用來(lái)解釋所有電氣現(xiàn)象的基本概念。也即，電路中最基本的量是電荷。電荷是構(gòu)成物質(zhì)的原子微粒的電氣屬性，它是以庫(kù)侖為單位來(lái)度量的。We know from elementa

3、ry physics that all matter is made of fundamental building blocks known as atoms and that each atom consists of electrons, protons, and neutrons. We also know that the charge e on an electron is negative and equal in magnitude to 1.6021010-19C, while a proton carries a positive charge of the same ma

4、gnitude as the electron. The presence of equal numbers of protons and electrons leaves an atom neutrally charged. 我們從基礎(chǔ)物理得知一切物質(zhì)是由被稱為原子的基本構(gòu)造部分組成的，并且每個(gè)原子是由電子，質(zhì)子和中子組成的。我們還知道電子的電量是負(fù)的并且在數(shù)值上等于1.10-12C，而質(zhì)子所帶的正電量在數(shù)值上與電子相等。質(zhì)子和電子數(shù)量相同使得原子呈現(xiàn)電中性。We consider the flow of electric charges. A unique feature of elect

5、ric charge or electricity is the fact that it is mobile; that is, it can be transferred from one place to another, where it can be converted to another form of energy讓我們來(lái)考慮一下電荷的流動(dòng)。電荷或電的特性是其運(yùn)動(dòng)的特性，也就是，它可以從一個(gè)地方被移送到另一個(gè)地方，在此它可以被轉(zhuǎn)換成另外一種形式的能量。When a conducting wire is connected to a battery (a source of el

6、ectromotive force), the charges are compelled to move; positive charges move in one direction while negative charges move in the opposite direction. This motion of charges creates electric current. It is conventional to take the currentflow as the movement of positive charges, that is, opposite to t

7、he flow of negative charges, as Fig.l-1 illustrates. This convention was introduced by Benjamin Franklin (l706l790), the American scientist and inventor. Although we now know that current in metallic conductors is due to negatively charged electrons, we will follow the universally accepted conventio

8、n that current is the net flow of positive charges. Thus, Electric current is the time rate of charge, measured in amperes (A). Mathematically, the relationship among current i, charge q, and time t is 當(dāng)我們把一根導(dǎo)線連接到某一電池上時(shí)(一種電動(dòng)勢(shì)源)，電荷被外力驅(qū)使移動(dòng)；正電荷朝一個(gè)方向移動(dòng)而負(fù)電荷朝相反的方向移動(dòng)。這種電荷的移動(dòng)產(chǎn)生了電流。我們可以很方便地把電流看作是正電荷的移動(dòng)，也即，與負(fù)

9、電荷的流動(dòng)方向相反，如圖11所示。這一慣例是由美國(guó)科學(xué)家和發(fā)明家本杰明富蘭克林引入的。雖然我們現(xiàn)在知道金屬導(dǎo)體中的電流是由負(fù)電荷引起的，但我們將遵循通用的慣例，即把電流看作是正電荷的單純的流動(dòng)。于是電流就是電荷的時(shí)率，它是以安培為單位來(lái)度量的。從數(shù)學(xué)上來(lái)說(shuō)，電流i、電荷q以及時(shí)間t之間的關(guān)系是： The charge transferred between time t0 and t is obtained by integrating both sides of Eq. (1-1). We obtain從時(shí)間t0到時(shí)間t所移送的電荷可由方程（11）兩邊積分求得。我們算得：The way we

10、 define current as i in Eq. (1-l) suggests that current need not be a constant-valued function, charge can vary with time in several ways that may be represented by different kinds of mathematical functions我們通過(guò)方程（11）定義電流的方式表明電流不必是一個(gè)恒值函數(shù)，電荷可以不同的方式隨時(shí)間而變化，這些不同的方式可用各種數(shù)學(xué)函數(shù)表達(dá)出來(lái)。電壓，能量和功率 To move the electr

11、on in a conductor in a particular direction requires some work or energy transfer. This work is performed by an external electromotive force (emf), typically represented by the battery in Fig.l-1. This emf is also known as voltage or potential difference. The voltage uab between two points a and b i

12、n an electric circuit is the energy (or work) needed to move a unit charge from a to b; mathematically 在導(dǎo)體中朝一個(gè)特定的方向移動(dòng)電荷需要一些功或者能量的傳遞，這個(gè)功是由外部的電動(dòng)勢(shì)來(lái)完成的。圖11所示的電池就是一個(gè)典型的例子。這種電動(dòng)勢(shì)也被稱為電壓或電位差。電路中a、b兩點(diǎn)間的電壓等于從a到b移動(dòng)單位電荷所需的能量（或所需做的功）。數(shù)學(xué)表達(dá)式為： where w is energy in joules (J) and q is charge in coulombs (C). The vol

13、tage uab is measured in volts (V), named in honor of the Italian physicist Alessandro Antonio Volta (l745l827), who invented the first voltaic battery. Thus, Voltage (or potential difference) is the energy required to move a unit charge through an element, measured in volts (V). 式中w是單位為焦耳的能量而q是單位為庫(kù)侖

14、的電荷。電壓Uab是以伏特為單位來(lái)度量的，它是為了紀(jì)念意大利物理學(xué)家Alessandro Antonio Volta而命名的，這位意大利物理學(xué)家發(fā)明了首個(gè)伏達(dá)電池。于是電壓（或電壓差）等于將單位電荷在元件中移動(dòng)所需的能量，它是以伏特為單位來(lái)度量的。Fig.l-2 shows the voltage across an element (represented by a rectangular block ) connected to points a and b. The plus (+) and minus (-) signs are used to define reference dir

15、ection or voltage polarity. The uab can be interpreted in two ways: point a is at a potential of uab volts higher than point b; the potential at point a with respect to point b is uab. It follows logically that in general 圖12顯示了某個(gè)元件（用一個(gè)矩形框來(lái)表示）兩端a、b之間的電壓。正號(hào)（）和負(fù)號(hào)（）被用來(lái)指明參考方向或電壓的極性，Uab可以通過(guò)以下兩種方法來(lái)解釋。1）在U

16、ab伏特的電位中a點(diǎn)電位高于b點(diǎn)，2）a點(diǎn)電位相對(duì)于b點(diǎn)而言是Uab，通常在邏輯上遵循Although current and voltage are the two basic variables in an electric circuit, they are not sufficient by themselves. For practical purposes, we need to know power and energy. To relate power and energy to voltage and current, we recall from physics that

17、power is the time rate of expending or absorbing energy, measured in watts (W). We write this relationship as 雖然電流和電壓是電路的兩個(gè)基本變量，但僅有它們兩個(gè)是不夠的。從實(shí)際應(yīng)用來(lái)說(shuō)，我們需要知道功率和能量。為了把功率和能量同電壓、電流聯(lián)系起來(lái)，我們重溫物理學(xué)中關(guān)于功率是消耗或吸收的能量的時(shí)率，它是以瓦特為單位來(lái)度量的。我們把這個(gè)關(guān)系式寫(xiě)成：Where p is power in watts (W), w is energy in joules (J), and t is time

18、in seconds (s). From Eq. (1-1), Eq. (1-3), and Eq. (1-5), it follows that 式中p是以瓦特為單位的功率，w是以焦耳為單位的能量，t是以秒為單位的時(shí)間，從方程（11）、（13）和（15）可以推出Because u and i are generally function of time, the power p in Eq. (1-6) is a time-varying quantity and is called the instantaneous power. The power absorbed or supplie

19、d by an element is the product of the voltage across the element and the current through it. If the power has a plus sign, power is being delivered to or absorbed by the element. If, on the other hand, the power has a minus sign, power is being supplied by the element. But how do we know when the po

20、wer has a negative or a positive sign？由于u和i通常是時(shí)間的函數(shù)，方程（16）中的功率p是個(gè)時(shí)間變量于是被稱為瞬時(shí)功率，某一元件吸收或提供的功率等于元件兩端電壓和通過(guò)它的電流的乘積。如果這個(gè)功率的符號(hào)是正的，那么功率向元件釋放或被元件吸收。另一方面，如果功率的符號(hào)是負(fù)的，那么功率是由元件提供的。但我們?nèi)绾蔚弥螘r(shí)功率為正或?yàn)樨?fù)？Current direction and voltage polarity play a major role in determining the sign of power. It is therefore important

21、 that we pay attention to the relationship between current i and voltage u in Fig.1-3(a). The voltage polarity and current i direction must conform with those shown in Fig.1-3(a) in order for the power to have a positive sign. This is known as the passive sign convention. By the passive sign convent

22、ion, current enters through the positive polarity of the voltage. In this case, p = ui or ui 0 implies that the element is absorbing power. However, if p = -ui or ui 0, as in Fig.1-3(b), the element is releasing or supplying power. 在我們確定功率符號(hào)時(shí)，電流的方向和電壓的極性起著主要的作用，這就是我們?cè)诜治鰣D13（a）所顯示的電流i和電壓u的關(guān)系時(shí)特別謹(jǐn)慎的重要原因

23、。為了使功率的符號(hào)為正，電壓的極性和電流的方向必須與圖13（a）所示的一致。 這種情況被稱為無(wú)源符號(hào)慣例，對(duì)于無(wú)源符號(hào)慣例來(lái)說(shuō)，電流流進(jìn)電壓的正極。在這種情況下，pui或ui0，表明元件是在吸收功率。而如果pui或ui 0, then terminal a is at a higher potential than terminal b. The opposite is true, of course, if u 0，那么a端的電位高于b端，當(dāng)然，如果u0，反之亦然。In Fig.1-4(a), the voltage u may be time varying, or it may be c

24、onstant, in which case we would probably label it U. Another symbol that is often used for a constant voltage source, such as a battery with U volts across its terminals, is shown in Fig.1-4(b). In the case of constant sources we shall use Fig.1-4(a) and 1-4(b) interchangeably.在圖14（a）中，電壓u可以是隨時(shí)間而變化，

25、或者可以是恒定的，在這種情況下我們可能把它標(biāo)為U，對(duì)于恒定電壓源我們通常使用另一種符號(hào)，例如在兩端只有U伏電壓的電池組，如圖14（b）所示。在恒定源的情況下我們可以交替地使用于圖14（a）或圖14（b）We might observe at this point that the polarity marks on Fig.1-4(b) are redundant since the polarity could be defined by the positions of the longer and shorter lines. 我們可能已經(jīng)注意到這一點(diǎn)，即圖14（b）中的極性標(biāo)號(hào)，是多余

26、的因?yàn)槲覀兛梢愿鶕?jù)長(zhǎng)天線的位置符，確定電池極性An independent current source is a two-terminal element through which a specified current flows. The current is completely independent of the voltage across the element. The symbol for an independent current source is shown in Fig.1-5, where i is the specified current. The dir

27、ection of the current is indicated by the arrow一個(gè)獨(dú)立電流源是二端元件在兩端之間特定的電流流過(guò)，該電流完全獨(dú)立于元件兩端的電壓，一個(gè)獨(dú)立電流源的符合如圖15所示。圖中i是特定電流，該電流的方向由箭頭標(biāo)明Independent sources are usually meant to deliver power to the external circuit and not to absorb it. Thus if u is the voltage across the source and its current i is directed o

28、ut of the positive terminal, then the source is delivering power, given by p = ui, to the external circuit. Otherwise it is absorbing power. For example, in Fig.1-6 (a) the battery is delivering 24 W to the external circuit. In Fig.1-6(b) the battery is absorbing 24 W, as would be the case when it i

29、s being charged. 獨(dú)立源通常指的是向外電路釋放功率而非吸收功率，因此如果u是電源兩端的電壓而電流i直接從其正端流出，那么該電源正在向?qū)﹄娐丰尫殴β?，由式pui算出。否則它就在吸收功率。例如圖16（a）中電池正在向外電路釋放功率24w，在圖16（b）中，電池就在充電情況，吸收功率24w。Dependent sources An ideal dependent (or controlled) source is an active element in which the source quantity is controlled by another voltage or cur

30、rent. Dependent sources are usually designated by diamond-shaped symbols, as shown in Fig.1-7Since the control of the dependent source is achieved by a voltage or current of some other element in the circuit, and the source can be voltage or current, it follows that there are four possible types of

31、dependent sources, namely:（1）A voltage-controlled voltage source (VCVS).（2）A current-controlled voltage source (CCVS).（3）A voltage-controlled current source (VCCS).（4）A current-controlled current source (CCCS). Dependent sources are useful in modeling elements such as transistors, operational amplifiers an
