Activity #1: AC FUNDAMENTAL

Instruction: Solve the following problem. Show complete solution and write legibly. Box your final
answer.

1. What is the period of an ac power system whose frequency is 60 Hz?

2. Two waveforms have periods of T1 = 15 ms and T2 = 40 ms. Which has the higher frequency?
Compute the frequencies of both waveforms.
3. Two sources have frequencies f1 and f2, respectively. If f2 = 25f1, and T2 is 4 µs, what is f1? What is
f2?
4. A 10 Hz sinusoidal current has a value of 20 amps at t = 25 ms. What is its value at t = 75ms?
5. If the coil rotates at 3600 rpm, determine its angular velocity, ω, in degrees per second.
6. If ω = 240 rad/s, what are the T and f? How many cycles occur in 17 s?
7. A sinusoidal current has a peak amplitude of 15 A and period of 120 ms. Determine its equation
as a function of time.
8. Given v = 10 sin 52.36t, determine both occurrences of v = -8.66 V.
9. Given i = 5 sin(377t + 60 ° ), compute a) the current at t = 12 ms b) the time at which i = 4.2 A.
10. Find the phase angle between i1 = -4 sin(377t + 25o) and i2 = 5 cos(377t -40o). Does i1 leads or lags
i2?
