Example 3.1.1. Find the amplitude, um, rms value, U, angular frequency, ω, frequency,
f, period, T and phase angle, φ of the sinusoidal voltage: 𝑢 (𝑡) = 15 𝑐𝑜𝑠(100𝑡 −
350 ) 𝑉.
Solution:
Analyzing the sinusoidal voltage function, we have: the amplitude um=15V; the rms
𝑢
value 𝑈 = 𝑚 = 10.60𝑉; the angular frequency is ω=100 rad/s; the frequency 𝑓 =

𝜔 1 2𝜋

−350 .
Example 3.1.2. Calculate the phase angle between 𝑢1 (𝑡) = −10 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜔𝑡 + 400 ) and
𝑢2 (𝑡) = 12 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜔𝑡 − 200 ).
Solution:
In order to compare u1 and u2, we have to express both functions in the same form, i.e.
in terms of sin functions. Using the identity − 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝛼 = 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝛼 − 900 ), we can write
𝑢1 (𝑡) = 10 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜔𝑡 + 400 − 900 ) = 10 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜔𝑡 − 500 ). Comparing now both
functions, the phase angle between the two functions is 𝜑12 = 𝜑1 − 𝜑2 = −500 −
(−200 ) = −300 . We say that the u1(t) lags the u2(t) by the angle of 300, or conversely,
the u2(t) leads the u1(t) by the angle of 300.
Example 3.1.3. A sinusoidal current at the moment t=0 has the value i(0)=5A and at
t1=2.5 ms reaches peak value. Knowing the period T=20 ms, calculate: a) the phase
angle, φ; the instantaneous form of the sinusoidal current, i(t).
Solution:
We will consider a sinusoidal current in form 𝑖 (𝑡) = 𝑖𝑚 sin(𝜔𝑡 + 𝜑). For t1=2.5 ms the
function reaches the peak, means that sin(𝜔𝑡1 + 𝜑) = 1, and as a consequence 𝜔𝑡1 +
𝜋 𝜋 𝜋 2𝜋
𝜑 = 2, and 𝜑 = 2 − 𝜔𝑡1 = 2 − 𝑇 𝑡1 = 0.787 (𝑟𝑎𝑑) ≅ 450 . For t=0 we have i(0)=5A,
which means 5 = 𝑖𝑚 sin 0.787, and 𝑖𝑚 = 7.071 ≅ 5 √2 (𝐴).Finally, the instantaneous
current is: 𝑖 (𝑡) = 7.071 sin(314𝑡 + 450 ) = 5 √2 sin(314𝑡 + 450 ) (𝐴).
Example 3.2.1. The sinusoidal current through a 5Ω’s resistance is: 𝑖 (𝑡) =
2 √2 𝑠𝑖𝑛(100𝑡 + 600 ) 𝐴.Calculate the rms value and instantaneous value of the
voltage on the resistor. Find the value of the current and voltage for t=0.01s.
Solution:
According to the relation between the current and voltage on a resistance, the rms value
of the voltage is 𝑈𝑅 = 𝐼 ∙ 𝑅 = 2 ∙ 5 = 10 (𝑉), and the instantaneous voltage 𝑢𝑅 (𝑡) =
𝑅 ∙ 𝑖 (𝑡) = 10√2 sin(100𝑡 + 600 ) (𝑉).The value of the current for t=0.01s is 𝑖 (0.01) =
𝜋 𝜋
2√2 sin(1 + 3 ) = 2.51 (𝐴), while the voltage value is 𝑢 (0.01) = 10√2 sin(1 + 3 ) =
12.57 (𝑉).
Example 3.2.2. The sinusoidal current through a 250 mH’s inductance is 𝑖 (𝑡) =
4 √2 𝑠𝑖𝑛(100𝑡 − 300 ) 𝐴. Calculate the rms value and the instantaneous value of the
voltage on the inductance.
Solution:
The inductive reactance is 𝑋𝐿 = 𝜔𝐿 = 25 Ω. As a remark, the inductive reactance
depends on the inductance but also on the angular frequency of the supplying current.
The rms value of the voltage is 𝑈𝐿 = 𝑋𝐿 ∙ 𝐼 = 100 (𝑉), and the instantaneous voltage is
𝑑𝑖
𝑢𝐿 (𝑡) = 𝐿 𝑑𝑡 = 100 √2 cos(100𝑡 − 300 ) = 100 √2 sin(100𝑡 + 600 ) (𝑉).

At first, from 𝑢𝐿𝑚 = 𝑖𝑚 ∙ 𝑋𝐿 we calculate 𝑖𝑚 = 𝑋𝐿

3.183 sin(314𝑡 − 600 ) (𝐴). The circuit impedance is 𝑍 = √𝑅2 + (𝜔𝐿)2 = 33 (Ω),
𝑋
and the peak of the supplying voltage 𝑢𝑚 = 𝑍 ∙ 𝑖𝑚 = 105 (𝑉). From tan 𝜑 = 𝑅𝐿 ≅
3.14, the phase angle between the supplying voltage and current is 𝜑 = arctan 3.14 ≅
720 . The voltage leads the current by the angle of 720 and, as a consequence, the
instantaneous supplying voltage is 𝑢 (𝑡) = 105 sin(314𝑡 + 120 ) 𝑉.

rms value of the current is 𝐼 = 𝑍

between supplying voltage and current is 𝜑 = atan 4 ≅ 37 . Because 𝑋𝐿 > 𝑋𝐶 , the
circuit behaves inductively, i.e. the current lags the voltage by the angle 𝜑 = 370 . The
instantaneous value of the current is 𝑖 (𝑡) = 2 √2 sin(100𝜋𝑡 − 600 − 370 ) =
2 √2 sin(100𝜋𝑡 − 970 ) (𝐴). The rms value of the resistance voltage is 𝑈𝑅 = 𝐼 ∙ 𝑅 =
80 𝑉, and the instantaneous value 𝑢𝑅 (𝑡) = 80 √2 sin(100𝜋𝑡 − 970 ) 𝑉. The rms value
of the inductance voltage is 𝑈𝐿 = 𝑋𝐿 ∙ 𝐼 = 120 𝑉, and the instantaneous value 𝑢𝐿 (𝑡) =
120 √2 sin(100𝜋𝑡 − 70 ) 𝑉 (the voltage on the inductance lags the current by an angle
of 900). The rms value of the capacitance-voltage is 𝑈𝐶 = 𝑋𝐶 ∙ 𝐼 = 60 𝑉, and the
instantaneous value 𝑢𝐶 (𝑡) = 60 √2 sin(100𝜋𝑡 − 1870 ) 𝑉 (the voltage on the
capacitance leads the current by an angle of 900).
