Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a circuit with voltage described as v(t) = 220 sin(100t + 45°) and current as i(t) = 10 sin(100t - 30°). Calculate the phase difference, and describe what it means for power calculations.

💡 Hint: Use the phase angle calculation and relate it to the power factor.

Question 2

You have an RLC circuit with the following values: R = 50Ω, L = 0.2H, and C = 20μF. Calculate the impedance and phase angle when connected to a 100V source at 50Hz.

💡 Hint: Calculate impedance before determining the phase angle.
