AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around converting the complex voltage expression V = 10<90 degrees + 66 - j(10 V) at an angular frequency of 10k rads/s. The initial confusion stems from the conversion of the complex number into a time-domain function. The correct simplification reveals that the imaginary components cancel out, leading to a final result of 66. The conclusion is that the voltage can be expressed as 66cos(10^4t). This highlights the importance of careful algebraic manipulation in complex number conversions.

Question: Convert V = 10< 90 degrees + 66 - j(10 V) at angular frequency = 10k rads/s.

I am stuck here 10(cos(90)+ j(sin(90)) + 66 - j(10)

which would then be: 0 + j + 66 - j(10)

Convert to what?

Question: Convert V

Do you have the original problem wording?
Convert to what?
1) V(t)=V(0)sin(wt+p) where t=time and V(0), w, p are real?
2) V(t)=V(0)Cos(wt+p) where t=time and V(0), w, p are real?
3) Other?

V(a)cos(\omegat+\phi)
V(t)=V(0)cos($\omega$t+$\phi$)
You are very close,
what is the angle represented by j + 66 - j(10)? That is $\phi$.

Can you find $\omega$ from the given frequency?
Can you find V(0); it is the magnitude of j + 66 - j(10)?

actually I am already given \omega, that is what angular frequency is. Although just re reading my initial post, I can spot my problem. I made an algebraic error:

10(cos(90)+ j(sin(90)) + 66 - j(10)

corrected: 10(0) + j(10) + 66 - j(10)

which just simplifies to 66, while the imaginary cancel out

Final answer: 66cos(10^4t)​

Thanks for your help!
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
