Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around finding the voltage V(s) and V(t) for a given input voltage Vin=45 at an angle of 0 degrees in the context of circuit analysis. Participants explore the implications of this notation in both the s-domain and time-domain representations, addressing the complexities of phasor notation and its interpretations.
Discussion Character
- Homework-related
- Technical explanation
- Conceptual clarification
- Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant presents an initial attempt at solving the problem, deriving expressions for current and voltage in terms of Vin, and identifies poles and zeros of the system.
- Another participant corrects an earlier calculation, adjusting the expression for Vc/Vin and identifying new poles.
- There is confusion regarding the interpretation of "Vin=45 at an angle of 0 degrees," with one participant questioning its meaning and another suggesting it represents a magnitude in the s-domain.
- Some participants discuss the implications of the notation, suggesting that it indicates a voltage in the phasor domain and how it translates to the time domain, with differing interpretations of the time-domain representation.
- One participant mentions the use of Steinmetz notation and its commonality among engineers, while another notes the lack of angular frequency in the notation.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express differing interpretations of the phasor notation and its implications for the time-domain representation of voltage. There is no consensus on the correct interpretation or representation of Vin in the time domain.
Contextual Notes
Participants highlight the potential for confusion arising from different conventions in notation, particularly regarding the representation of phasors and their time-domain equivalents. The discussion reflects varying levels of familiarity with these concepts.
