Tutorial for week 2

Covers material on chapter 12

Question 1

Express in rectangular and polar notations the phasors for the following quantities:
(a) i = 10 sin ωt;
(b) i = 5 sin(ωt − π/3);
(c) v = 40 sin(ωt + π/6).
Draw a phasor diagram representing the above voltage and currents.

Answer:

(a) i = 10∠0° = (10 + j0)


(b) i = 5∠−60° = (2.5 − j4.33)
(c) i = 40∠30° = (34.64 + j20.0)

Question 2
Express each of the following phasors in polar notation and draw the phasor diagram:
(a) 10 + j5;
(b) 3 − j8.

Answer:
5
(a) 10 + j5 = 102 + 52 ∠tan−1 10 = 11.18∠26.6°
8
(b) 3 − j8 = √ (32 + 82 ) ∠tan−1 3 = 8.54∠−69.4°

Question 3
Express each of the following phasors in rectangular notation and draw the phasor diagram:
(a) 20∠60°;
(b) 40∠−45°.

Answer:

(a) 20∠60° = 20 cos 60° + j20 sin 60° = 10 + j17.32


(b) 40∠−45° = 40 cos(−45°) + j 20 sin(−45°) = 28.28 − j28.28
∴ 20∠60° + 40∠−45° = 38.28 − j10.96
 10.96 
= (38.282 + 10.962 ) tan −1  − 
 32.28 
= 39.82∠−16.

Question 4
Add the two phasors (a) 10 + j5; (b) 3 − j8 and express the result in:
(a) rectangular notation;
(b) polar notation.
Check the values by drawing a phasor diagram to scale.

Answer:

(10 + j5) + (3 − j8) = 13 − j3


−3
= √(132 + 32) tan−1 13 = 13.34∠−13°
For phasor diagram, the addition is illustrated above.

Question 5
Subtract the second phasor (a) 10 + j5; (b) 3 − j8 from the first phasor and express the result
in:
(a) rectangular notation;
(b) polar notation.
Check the values by means of a phasor diagram drawn to scale.

Answer:

(10 + j5) − (3 − j8) = 7 + j13


= √(72 + 132) tan−1(13/7)= 14.77∠61°42′

Question 6
Derive expressions, in rectangular and polar notations, for the admittances of the following
impedances:
(a) 10 + j15 Ω;
(b) (b) 20 − j10 Ω;
(c) (c) 50∠20° Ω;
(d) (d) 10∠−70° Ω.

Answer:

a) (0.0308 − j0.0462) s, 0.0555∠−56°18′ s;

b) (0.04 + j0.02) s, 0.0447∠26°34′ s;


c) (0.0188 − j0.00684) s; 0.02∠−20° s;
d) (0.0342 + j0.094) s, 0.1∠70° s

Question 7
Calculate the resistance and inductance or capacitance in series for each of the following
impedances, assuming the frequency to be 50 Hz:
(a) 50 + j30 Ω;
(b) 30 − j50 Ω;
(c) 100∠40° Ω;
(d) 40∠60° Ω.

Answer:

(a) 50 + j30 = R + jXL


R = 50 Ω and L = 30/(2π 50) = 95.5 mH
(b) 30 − j50 = R + jXC
∴ R = 30 Ω and C = 1/(2π 50 × 50) = 63.7 µF
(c) 100∠40° = 76.6 + j64.3 = R + jXL
∴ R = 76.6 Ω and L = 64.3/(2π 50) = 0.205 H
(d) 40∠60° = 20 + j34.64 = R + jXL
∴ R = 20 Ω and L = 34.64/2π50 = 110.26 mH
