How to determine v(t) and i(t)?

9.2 Sinusoids (1)
A sinusoid is a signal that has the form of the sine or cosine function.
A general expression for the sinusoid,
where
Vm  =  the amplitude of the sinusoid
ω  = the angular frequency in radians/s
Ф =  the phase

9.3 Phasor (1)
A phasor is a complex number that represents the amplitude and phase of a sinusoid.
It can be represented in one of the following three forms:

9.3 Phasor (2)
Example 3
Evaluate the following complex numbers:
a.
b.

9.3 Phasor (3)
Mathematic operation of complex number:
Addition
Subtraction
Multiplication
Division
Reciprocal
Square root
Complex conjugate
Euler’s identity

9.3 Phasor (4)
Transform a sinusoid to and from the time  domain to the phasor domain:
 (time domain) (phasor domain)

9.3 Phasor (5)
Example 4
Transform the following sinusoids to phasors:
i = 6cos(50t – 40o) A
v = –4sin(30t + 50o) V

9.3 Phasor (6)
Example 5:
    Transform the sinusoids corresponding to phasors:

9.3 Phasor (7)
The differences between v(t) and V:
v(t) is instantaneous or time-domain representation
V is the frequency or phasor-domain representation.
v(t) is time dependent, V is not.
v(t) is always real with no complex term, V is generally complex.
Note: Phasor analysis applies only when frequency is  constant; when it is applied to two or more sinusoid signals only if they have the same frequency.

9.3 Phasor (9)
Example 6
   Use phasor approach, determine the current i(t) in a circuit described by the integro-differential equation.

9.3 Phasor (10)
In-class exercise for Unit 6a, we can derive the differential equations for the following circuit in order to solve for vo(t) in phase domain Vo.

9.3 Phasor (11)
The answer is YES!
