The effective value of any periodic current is equal to the value of the direct current which flowing through a resistance R, delivers the same power to r as periodic current does
sinusoidal current or voltage at a given frequency is characterized by only two parameters an amplitude and a phase angle. The complex representation of the voltage or current is also characterized by these same two parameters
Example 2: (p175-12) resistor, capacitor, and voltage source=100cos300n are all in series. If the average power dissipated by the resistor is 150W and the rms capacitor voltage is 10v, determine R and C
An ideal transformer is a useful approximation of a very tightly coupled transformer in which the coefficient of coupling is almost unity and both the primary and secondary inductive reactance are extremely large in comparison with the terminating impedance
