• When comparing two sinusoids, it is convenient to express both as
either sine or cosine with positive amplitudes.
• Trigonometric identities:

Example:
Solution:
a. I = 6 − 40 A
b. Since –sin(A) = cos(A+90o);
v(t) = 4cos (30t+50o+90o) = 4cos(30t+140o) V
Transform to phasor => V = 4140 V

Example:
Transform the phasors to sinusoids :
a. V = − 1030 V
b. I = j(5 − j12) A
Solution:
a) v(t) = 10cos(t + 210o) V

b) Since I = 12 + j5 = 122 + 52 tan −1 ( ) = 13 22.62

i(t) = 13cos(t + 22.62o) A

Q. The voltage 𝑣 = 12 cos(60 𝑡 + 45°) is applied to 0.1 H
inductor. Find the steady state current through the inductor.
Voltage across the inductor, 𝑉 = 𝑗𝜔𝐿𝐼
𝑉 = 12 ∠45°
𝜔 = 60 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠
𝑉 12∠45° 12∠45°
𝐼= = = = 2∠ 45° − 90°
𝑗𝜔𝐿 𝑗 ∗ 60 ∗ 0.1 6∠90°
𝐼 = 2∠ − 45°
In time domain representation, the current through the inductor is
given by
𝑖 = 2 cos(60 𝑡 − 45°) 𝐴

Impedance
• The impedance Z of a circuit is the ratio of the phasor
voltage V to the phasor current I, measured in ohms Ω.
