Find (a) f in hertz; (b) T in milliseconds; (c) Im;
(d) i(0); (e) f in degrees and radians; (f) the smallest
positive value of t at which i = 0; and (g) the small-
est positive value of t at which di>dt = 0.
9.2 In a single graph, sketch v = 100 cos (vt + f) ver-
sus vt for f = 90 ⴰ , 45 ⴰ , 0 ⴰ , -45 ⴰ , and -90 ⴰ .
a) State whether the voltage function is shifting
to the right or left as f becomes more
negative.
b) What is the direction of shift if f changes from
0 to 45 ⴰ ?
9.3 Consider the sinusoidal voltage
v(t) = 25 cos (400pt + 60 ⴰ ) V.
a) What is the maximum amplitude of the voltage?
b) What is the frequency in hertz?
c) What is the frequency in radians per second?
d) What is the phase angle in radians?
e) What is the phase angle in degrees?
f) What is the period in milliseconds?
g) What is the first time after t = 0 that v = 0 V?
h) The sinusoidal function is shifted 5>6 ms to the
right along the time axis. What is the expression
for v(t)?
i) What is the minimum number of milliseconds
that the function must be shifted to the left if the
expression for v(t) is 25 sin 400pt V?
9.4 A sinusoidal voltage is zero at t = (40>3) ms and
increasing at a rate of 750p V> s. The maximum
amplitude of the voltage is 50 V.
a) What is the frequency of v in radians per second?
b) What is the expression for v?
9.5 At t = 5 ms, a sinusoidal current is known to be
zero and going negative. The current is next zero at
t = 25 ms. It is also known that the current is 50 mA
at t = 0 .
a) What is the frequency of i in hertz?

9.9 The voltage applied to the circuit shown in Fig. 9.5
at t = 0 is 75 cos (4000t - 60 ⴰ ) V. The circuit resist-
ance is 400 Æ and the initial current in the 75 mH
inductor is zero.
a) Find i(t) for t Ú 0.
b) Write the expressions for the transient and
steady-state components of i(t).
c) Find the numerical value of i after the switch has
been closed for 750 ms.
d) What are the maximum amplitude, frequency
(in radians per second), and phase angle of the
steady-state current?
e) By how many degrees are the voltage and the
steady-state current out of phase?
9.10 a) Verify that Eq. 9.9 is the solution of Eq. 9.8. This
can be done by substituting Eq. 9.9 into the left-
hand side of Eq. 9.8 and then noting that it
equals the right-hand side for all values of t 7 0.
At t = 0, Eq. 9.9 should reduce to the initial
value of the current.
b) Because the transient component vanishes as
time elapses and because our solution must sat-
isfy the differential equation for all values of t,
the steady-state component, by itself, must also
satisfy the differential equation. Verify this
observation by showing that the steady-state
component of Eq. 9.9 satisfies Eq. 9.8.

b) y = 90 sin(50t - 20°) + 60 cos(200t - 70°),

c) y = 50 cos(5000t - 60°) + 25 sin(5000t + 110°)
- 75 cos(5000t - 30°),
d) y = 10 cos (vt + 30°) + 10 sin vt
+ 10 cos(vt + 150°).

amplitude of 100 V at t = 0 is applied across the

the phase angle of the current?
