A single-phase ac voltage regulator has a resistive load of R= 10 ohms, and the input voltage is Vs = 240 V, 50 Hz. The delay angle of each of the Thyristors is ɑ = Π/2. Determine:

(a) The rms value of the output voltage.
(b) The Fourier coefficients of the fundamental, 11th and 13th current harmonics

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
