Which expression describes the voltage waveform shown?

  1. v=24 (125t) V
  2. v=24 (785t) V
  3. v=24 (785t) V
  4. v=48 (785t) V

Answer

C. v=24 (785t) V

Solution

The peak is 24 V and the period is T=8 ms, so =2π/T=2π/0.008=785 rad/s. The wave starts at zero and rises, so it is a sine: v=24 (785t) V.
