Determining steady state current from phasor current?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the phasor current and impedance of a circuit, with calculations showing the impedance values for resistors, inductors, and capacitors. The total impedance was calculated to be 12.7∠-45°, leading to a phasor current of 7.87∠45°. The steady-state current was derived as i(t) = 7.87cos(100t + 45), confirming the waveform representation. Participants emphasized the importance of maintaining precision in intermediate calculations to avoid rounding errors. The conversation highlights the steps involved in transitioning from phasor analysis to time-domain current expressions.

Homework Statement


a) Determine the phasor current and impedance of the circuit

b) Determine the steady-state current i(t).

Homework Equations



impedance conversion:

ZL = ωLj

ZC = -1j/ωC

ZR = RPolar form conversion:

rectangular form = R + jX

Zmag = (j2 + r2)1/2

Zangle = arctan(j/r)V = IR

I=V/R

The Attempt at a Solution



ω = 100

Zr = 9ΩZC = -1j/(100*(1x10-3))

ZC = -10ΩjZL = 100 * (10 x 10-3)

ZL = 1Ωj

Ztotal = 9Ω - 9ΩjIn polar form:

Zmag = (81 + 81)1/2

Zmag = 12.7

Zangle = arctan(-9/9)

Zangle = -45°

So

Z = 12.7∠-45°

and

V = 100∠0°I = V/R

I = (100∠0°)/(12.7∠-45°)Phasor current I = (7.87∠45°)ANow, I am actually stuck how to get the steady state current but I think it's something in waveform likei(t) = 7.87cos(100t + 45) ?

Yes, that's fine. Be sure to specify the units on the answer.

Also remember to hang onto a few more decimal places in intermediate steps to prevent rounding error from creeping into your values as calculations progress.
