10. If is = 5 cos (10t + 40) A in the circuit in the circuit, find io.

11. Find Z in the network, given that Vo = 40 V

12. For the circuit, calculate ZT and Vab.

13. (a) Calculate the phase shift of the circuit.

(b) State whether the phase shift is leading or lagging.
(c) Determine the magnitude of the output when the input is 120 V.

14. An industrial coil is modeled as a series combination of an inductance L and resistance R, as

shown in Figure below. Since an ac voltmeter measures only the magnitude of a sinusoid, the
following measurements are taken at 60 Hz when the circuit operates in the steady state:

Vs 145V,
V1 50V,
Vo 110V
Use these measurements to determine the values of L and R.
