Example
1. An inductor when connected to a voltage source of 110 volts, 50-Hz draws a current of
10A. What are the expressions of the voltage and the current?
Solution:
Vrms = 110 volts (reference θV = 0˚)
Irms = 10A
f= 50 Hz
Expression: v & i
v=Vm sin ωt
Vm = √ 2 Vrms
= √ 2 (110)
= 155.563
ω= 2πf
= 2π (50)
= 100π
ω= 314.159 rad/sec

v= 155.563 sin 314.159t volts

i=Im sin (ωt + θi)


θd= θV – θi
90˚ = 0˚– θi
θi = -90˚

i=Im sin (ωt - 90˚)


Im= √ 2(10) = 14.142

i= 14.142 sin (314.159t - 90˚)

2. Given the following expressions:


v= 120 sin (377t + 30˚)
i= 3 sin (377t - 60˚)

Determine the circuit element and its value.


θd= θv – θi
= 30˚ - (-60˚)
= 30˚ + 60˚
θd= 90˚

PURE L CIRCUIT

XL = Vm/Im = 120/3 = 40Ω


XL = ωL
L = XL / ω = 40/377

L = 106.101 mH

3. A capacitor when connected to a voltage source of 120 volts, 60 Hz draws a current of


5A. What are the expressions of the voltage and current?
Vrms= 120 v
Irms= 5A
f= 60 Hz
Vm= √ 2(120)
Vm = 169.706
Im = √ 2(5) = 7.071 A

ω = 2πf
= 2π (60)
= 120 π
= 376.991

v= 169.706 sin 376.991 t

θd= θv – θi
-90˚ = 0˚ - θi
θi = 90˚

i= 7.071 sin (376.991 t + 90˚)

4. Given the following expressions:


v= 120 sin (377t + 40˚)
i= 4 sin (377t + 130˚)

Determine the circuit element and its value.


θd= θv – θi
= 40˚ - 130˚
= -90˚
