Calculating Average Power Supplied from Phasors

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the average power supplied from phasors derived from trigonometric functions. The voltage is represented as v = 311 sin(200t + 7°) V and the current as i = 14 sin(200t - 16°) A. The conversion to phasor form yields v = 311 ∠7° and i = 14 ∠-16°. The effective values are calculated as Veff = 219.877 V and Ieff = 9.898 A, with the average power formula Pavg = Veff * Ieff * cos(theta), where theta is the phase difference between the voltage and current.

Ok i have been given two trigonometric functions and asked to give them as phasors, and then calculate the average power supplied from this.

v = 311 sin (200t+7[tex]\circ[/tex]) V

i = 14 sin (200t - 16[tex]\circ[/tex]) A

I'm used to the trigonometric functions being in the cosine form, what difference will this make?

I believe it would be:
v = 311 [tex]\angle7[/tex]
and i=14[tex]\angle-16[/tex]

If it was given in the cosine form. And from there it would be possible to work out the average power.

Can anyone help me with this??

Also i know i might need to give the magnitude in RMS form.EDIT: Is it 83 degrees instead? and 74 for i?

Cosine leads sine by 90 degrees. If you wanted to use cosine to represent v and i, you would subtract 90 degrees rather than add 90.

Vm = 311
Im = 14

To convert to phasor form multiply Vm and I am by .707

Veff = 219.877
Ieff = 9.898

The angles remain the same.

Pavg = Veff*Ieff*cos(theta), where theta is the phase angle between v and i.
