Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go through each question step-by-step to solve the problems presented in your quiz.
Question 1:
Given the AC signal graph, we need to determine:
a. The frequency and the peak-to-peak voltage for signal A.
From the graph:
- The time period can be found by looking at the duration between two consecutive peaks or two zero-crossings in the same direction.
- From the graph, it appears that the period is approximately 2 milliseconds (ms).
Using the formula: where , we get:
To determine the peak-to-peak voltage:
- The graph shows the signal amplitude varying from to approximately V, meaning the peak-to-peak voltage is .
Answer for 1(a):
- Frequency: 500 Hz
- Peak-to-peak Voltage: 10 V
b. Is signal A leading or lagging signal B?
From the graph, signal A reaches a peak before signal B. This indicates that signal A is leading signal B.
Answer for 1(b):
- Signal A is leading signal B.
Question 2:
Determine the total capacitance for both circuits.
For capacitors:
-
In series: The total capacitance is given by:
-
In parallel: The total capacitance is given by:
Left Circuit:
