    How does the voltage on the inductor change over time?

    I then assume put this back into the equation for VL, and derive it, I get: V0*L/(R2+L2*ω2*cos(2*φ) times ωcos (ωt + φ) or should I say times -ωcos (ωt) considering the value of φ. Is this right?

    How does the voltage on the inductor change over time?

    Ok I get 2*pi+pi for the value of φ and V0/(R2+L2*ω2*cos(2*φ) for I0)

    How does the voltage on the inductor change over time?

    Ok I've simplified it to: Lcos(t\omega + \varphi)+Lsin(t\omega + \varphi)=sin(t\omega + \varphi)\frac{V_{0}}{I_{0}}

    How does the voltage on the inductor change over time?

    V0=Vpeak So I go from: LI0cos(ωt+φ)+RI0sin(ωt+φ)=V0sin(ωt) To: LI0cos(ωt)cosφ - LI0sin(ωt)sinφ + RI0sin(ωt)cosφ + RI0cos(ωt)sinφ = V0sin(ωt) And collect the terms: RI0sin(ωt)cosφ - LI0sin(ωt)sinφ - V0sin(ωt)+ RI0cos(ωt)sinφ + LI0cos(ωt)cosφ = 0 sin(ωt)(RI0cosφ - LI0sinφ - V0)+...

    How does the voltage on the inductor change over time?

    Did you mean the trig sum rule? Edit: It dawned on me a minute too late. :) Thank you for being so patient!

    How does the voltage on the inductor change over time?

    This is just so many kinds of wrong... :( This is what I meant to write: I_{0}sin(\omega t + \varphi) + \frac{RI_{0}}{L}(-\frac{cos{\omega t+\varphi}{\omega}= \frac{1}{L} V_{peak} sin (\omega t)

    How does the voltage on the inductor change over time?

    Is this comment meant for the last version of the response? I edited my response extensively before I noticed your reply, I now realized I should have just made a new post, since this ultimately confused me and makes communication difficult. Sorry, won't do it again. I've heard of them...

    How does the voltage on the inductor change over time?

    Integrate the whole thing? Like this: I_{0}\omega cos(\omega t + \varphi)+I_{0}\frac{R}{L}\frac{sin(\omega t + \varphi)-\omega t cos(\omega t + \varphi)}{\omega^2}=\frac{1}{L}V_{peak}\frac{R}{L}\frac{sin(\omega t)-\omega t cos(\omega t)}{\omega^2} Is this right?

    Propability of hitchhikers being picked up

    Will remember that, I'm new to this so please don't refrain from pointing out any other things like that.

    Propability of hitchhikers being picked up

    Ok, that seems blindingly obvious in retrospect, have no idea how I missed it. Thank you for the help! :) This is then the correct answer: P(X ≥ 4) = 1 - P(X < 4) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X=1) - P(X=2) - P(X=3) P(X ≥ 4) = 0,73497 A probability of 73,5%.

    Propability of hitchhikers being picked up

    I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong subforum, I wasn't quite sure where statistics and distribution questions should go. I have major problems understanding the concepts involved with this kind of stuff. Homework Statement On a country road an average of 30 cars pass per hour. Four...

    When Will the Asteroid Reach the Sun?

    Better? v=\frac{d(R_{e}-r)}{dt}=-\frac{dr}{dt}=\sqrt{\frac{2*G*M}{r}}

    When Will the Asteroid Reach the Sun?

    Did I completely misunderstand you or is this what you are referring to? v=\frac{d(R_{e}-r)}{dt}=\sqrt{\frac{2*G*M}{r}}
