Math Problem Statement

Calculate the electric charge transferred over a given period based on the current function I(t) = I_0 cos(ω t) + I_1 sin(ω_1 t) + I_DC, with provided values for the constants I_0, I_1, ω, ω_1, and I_DC.

Solution

In the image, we can see two plots related to electric current I(t)I(t) and electric charge Q(t)Q(t). The problem seems to involve calculating the amount of electric charge transferred over a certain period by integrating the current function.

1. Current Expression I(t)I(t)

The current function is given by: I(t)=I0cos(ωt)+I1sin(ω1t)+IDCI(t) = I_0 \cos(\omega t) + I_1 \sin(\omega_1 t) + I_{\text{DC}} with the following values for the constants:

  • I0=3AI_0 = 3 \, \text{A}
  • ω=2rad/s\omega = 2 \, \text{rad/s}
  • I1=2AI_1 = 2 \, \text{A}
  • ω1=3rad/s\omega_1 = 3 \, \text{rad/s}
  • IDC=2AI_{\text{DC}} = 2 \, \text{A}

2. Charge Calculation

The charge transferred is the integral of the current function over time: Q(t)=I(t)dtQ(t) = \int I(t) \, dt Substituting I(t)I(t) from above: Q(t)=(I0cos(ωt)+I1sin(ω1t)+IDC)dtQ(t) = \int \left( I_0 \cos(\omega t) + I_1 \sin(\omega_1 t) + I_{\text{DC}} \right) dt

This leads to: Q(t)=I0ωsin(ωt)I1ω1cos(ω1t)+IDCt+CQ(t) = \frac{I_0}{\omega} \sin(\omega t) - \frac{I_1}{\omega_1} \cos(\omega_1 t) + I_{\text{DC}} t + C where CC is the integration constant.

3. Definite Integral and Numerical Calculation

You may need to evaluate the definite integral over a given period (let’s assume from t=0t = 0 to t=8st = 8 \, \text{s} as indicated on the graph).

Would you like a detailed breakdown of how to plug in the limits and simplify further?

Further Related Questions

  1. What is the value of the electric charge transferred over the observation period t=0t = 0 to t=8st = 8 \, \text{s}?
  2. How does the phase difference between ω\omega and ω1\omega_1 affect the shape of the current function I(t)I(t)?
  3. What role does the DC component IDCI_{\text{DC}} play in the total charge transferred?
  4. How would the integral change if there were no DC component in the current?
  5. Can you express the relationship between current and charge graphically for this system?

Tip:

For periodic functions like I(t)I(t), integrating over a full period of the cosine and sine components gives zero contribution from those terms. Only the DC component contributes over long time intervals.
