1. Draw a waveshape of a sinusoidal voltage having a peak value of 200V and a frequency of 5Hz.

2. If the voltage is zero at $t=0$, what is the voltage at $t=5ms$? $75ms$?$150ms$?
| Time (t, ms) | Voltage (V) |
| ------------ | ------------- |
| 5 | $\approx31$ |
| 75 | $\approx 141$ |
| 150 | $-200$ |

A sinusoidal current has an effective value of 50A. Calculate the peak value of current.
50A*{\sqrt{2}\over2}\approx35A
-
A sinusoidal voltage of 120V is applied to a
10\Omega
resistor. Calculate-
the effective current through the resistor.
{120V\over 10\Omega}=12A
-
-
the peak voltage across the resistor.
120V*\sqrt{2}\approx170V_{RMS}
-
the power dissipated by the resistor.
120V*12A=1440W
-
The peak power dissipated by the resistor.
170V_{RMS}(12A\sqrt{2})=2880W

A distorted voltage contains an 11^th^ harmonic of 20V, 253Hz. Calcultate the frequency of the fundamental.
235Hz*11^{th}Harmonic\approx2.6kHz

The current in a 60Hz single phase motor lags 36 degrees behind the voltage. Calculate the time interval between positive peaks of voltage and current.
{1\over \cancel{60Hz}}*{\cancel{360^\circ}6^\circ\over 36^\circ}={1\over 6}seconds=0.1\overline{66}seconds

Determine the phase angle between the following phasors and, in each case, indicate which phasor is lagging.
-
I_1
andI_3
\angle I_1-\angle I_3=-60^\circ\ \therefore\ I_1 lags I_3by60^\circ
-
-
I_2
andI_3
\angle I_2-\angle I_3=-90^\circ\ \therefore\ I_2 lags I_3 by 90^\circ
-
E
andI_1
\angle E - \angle I_1=-150^\circ\ \therefore\ ElagsI_1by150^\circ
-
The voltage applied to an AC magnet is given by the expression
E=160sin\phi
, and the current isI=20sin(\phi-60^\circ)
, all angles being expressed in degrees.
