Ok guys this one is straight out of a textbook, (Tooley, M. and Dingle, L. (2008) Higher National Engineering, 2nd ed. Oxford: Elsevier, p.353.)
v=50sin(\omega t)+10sin(3\omega t + \pi /2)
i=3.54sin(\omega t + \pi /4) + 0.316sin(3\omega t +0.321)
\sum_{n=1}^{n=m} \frac {V_nI_ncos\phi_n} 2
The solution given is
P_{TOT} =\frac {50\times 3.54} 2 cos(-\pi /4) + \frac {10\times 0.316} 2 cos(\pi /2 - 0.321)
I don't understand how the solution in part 3 relates to the equation in part 2. The solution implies cos(a-b) = sin(wt + \phi_1)\times sin(wt+\phi_2) but I cannot find this written anywhere apart from here
cos(a-b)=cos(a)cos(b)+sin(a)sin(b) So we are just ignoring the cos terms?
I'm really quite tired so I am sorry if this seems like a stupid question, I swear this textbook is useless.
