Homework Statement


Two sinusoidal voltages with amplitude 15Volts and frequency 2,771Hz are separated in time by 68% of a period. What is the phase shift in degrees between the two signals?

Homework Equations


y= Asin(omega)(x-h)

The Attempt at a Solution


I know my A is 15 and I'm pretty sure that my omega is 2771. I am confused, however, as to what I should put for my period. Should I put (2pi)*.68, but then what how could I get a numerical answer out of all of that?

How many degrees is that? :smile:

That's 244.8 degrees if I multiply 360 by 2pi. So would this number be my phase shift?

The answer is what I get also, but you have a typo in your reply which I have fixed. :smile:
 

1. What is a phase shift between two signals?

A phase shift between two signals refers to the difference in the timing or position of the peaks and troughs of the two signals. It is measured in degrees or radians and can be positive or negative depending on the direction of the shift.

2. How is phase shift calculated?

Phase shift is calculated by finding the time delay between the two signals and converting it into degrees or radians. This can be done by measuring the time difference between the peaks or troughs of the signals or by using mathematical formulas.

3. What causes a phase shift between two signals?

A phase shift between two signals can be caused by various factors such as a difference in the frequency or wavelength of the signals, a change in the medium through which the signals are traveling, or a delay in the transmission of one of the signals.

4. How does phase shift affect the signals?

Phase shift can have a significant impact on the signals, especially in communication and signal processing systems. It can lead to interference, distortion, or cancellation of the signals, which can affect the accuracy and reliability of the information being transmitted.

5. How can phase shift be compensated for?

Phase shift can be compensated for by using techniques such as phase shifting circuits, filters, or equalizers. These methods can help align the phase of the signals and minimize the effects of phase shift on the overall system.
