A varying current, with a periodic waveform, flows through an 8Ω resistor in accordance with the following pattern: • For the first 0.04 second, it is constant at 6A; • For the next 0.02 second, it is zero • For the remaining 0.04 second, it is constant at 2A in the reverse direction Determine: (i) the mean value (ii) RMS value (3) the heat dissipated in the resistor in 5 minutes.
Sinusoids And Phasors
Sinusoids are defined as the mathematical waveforms that are used to describe the nature of periodic oscillations.
Circuit Theory
Electric circuits are a network that comprises of a closed-loop, which helps in providing a return path for the current through a switch. When the switch is activated, the load operates, and the current accepts a path to finish the circuit at a low potential level from the opposing high potential level. Electric circuits theory is a linear analysis that helps in establishing a linear relation of voltage and current for R (resistance), L (inductance), and C (capacitance).
