Engineering Frequency in a circuit using complex notation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the frequency, ω, in a circuit where the current ig is in phase with the voltage vg using complex notation. Participants highlight a calculation error regarding the frequency, suggesting that it should be 10 to the power of 6 instead of 8. There is a need for clarity in the calculations, as both 10^6 and 10^8 appear in the work presented. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accuracy in mathematical notation for correct results. Overall, the thread addresses common pitfalls in frequency calculations in circuit analysis.

Homework Statement



The frequency, ω, of the source in the circuit of Figure 2 is adjusted until ig is in phase with vg.

(a)using complex notation, determine the value of ω (rad/sec)
(b)if vg = 20 sin ω t [where ω is the frequency found in 2(a)], determine an expression for the output voltage, v0

I think your frequency ended up being one order of magnitude too high. Check your math.
 
Thanks gneill.
Ah so where I have 10 to the power of 8, it should be to the power of 6?

Well, you've got both 106 and 108 in the relevant area of your work, so you really should be more specific. But yes, that is the issue.
