Math Problem Statement
create a phasor diagram for adding 3sin(wt+30) and 3sin(wt)
Solution
To create a phasor diagram for the sum of and , we'll follow these steps:
1. Representation as Phasors:
- can be represented as a phasor of magnitude 3 along the positive real axis (since its phase angle is ).
- can be represented as a phasor of magnitude 3 making a angle with the real axis.
2. Addition of Phasors:
The two phasors are added using vector addition. This forms a parallelogram (or triangle) in the phasor diagram.
3. Resultant Phasor:
The resultant phasor represents the sum of the two signals in both magnitude and phase.
I'll generate the phasor diagram now. matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np
Define the magnitudes and angles
magnitude = 3 angle1 = 0 # in degrees angle2 = 30 # in degrees
Convert angles to radians for calculations
angle1_rad = np.deg2rad(angle1) angle2_rad = np.deg2rad(angle2)
Components of the phasors
phasor1 = (magnitude * np.cos(angle1_rad), magnitude * np.sin(angle1_rad)) phasor2 = (magnitude * np.cos(angle2_rad), magnitude * np.sin(angle2_rad))
Resultant phasor
resultant = (phasor1[0] + phasor2[0], phasor1[1] + phasor2[1])
Plotting the phasors
fig, ax = plt.subplots() ax.quiver(0, 0, phasor1[0], phasor1[1], angles='xy', scale_units='xy', scale=1, color='b', label='3sin(ωt)') ax.quiver(0, 0, phasor2[0], phasor2[1], angles='xy', scale_units='xy', scale=1, color='g', label='3sin(ωt + 30°)') ax.quiver(0, 0, resultant[0], resultant[1], angles='xy', scale_units='xy', scale=1, color='r', label='Resultant')
Setting the plot
ax.set_xlim(-1, 6) ax.set_ylim(-1, 4) ax.set_aspect('equal') ax.grid(True)
Labeling the phasors
ax.text(phasor1[0] + 0.1, phasor1[1], '3∠0°', color='b') ax.text(phasor2[0] + 0.1, phasor2[1], '3∠30°', color='g') ax.text(resultant[0] + 0.1, resultant[1], 'Resultant', color='r')
plt.title('Phasor Diagram for 3sin(ωt + 30°) and 3sin(ωt)') plt.show()Here is the phasor diagram for the sum of and :
- Blue vector: Represents with a phase angle of .
- Green vector: Represents with a phase angle of .
- Red vector: The resultant of the two phasors, representing the sum of the signals.
Would you like me to explain any part of the diagram or calculation further?
Related Questions:
- How do you calculate the exact magnitude and phase of the resultant phasor?
- Can we express the resultant as a single sine function?
- How would the phasor diagram change if one of the amplitudes was different?
- What happens if we add a third phasor with a different phase angle?
- How is this phasor addition related to AC circuit analysis?
Tip: When adding phasors, it's often easier to convert them to rectangular form (real and imaginary components), add them, and then convert back to polar form for the magnitude and phase.
