RMS value of AC: Solved Example Problems


EXAMPLE 4.18

EXAMPLE 4.25

The current in an inductive circuit is given by 0.3 sin (200t – 40°) A. Write the equation for the voltage across it if the inductance is 40 mH.

Solution

L = 40 × 10-3 H; i = 0.1 sin (200t – 40º)

XL = ωL = 200 × 40 × 10-3 = 8 Ω

Vm = Im XL = 0.3 × 8 = 2.4 V

In an inductive circuit, the voltage leads the current by 90o Therefore,

v = Vm sin ( ωt +90º)

 v = 2 . 4 sin(200t −40 + 90 º)

v = 2 . 4 sin(200t +50 º)volt
