<u>Answer</u>:
a. r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt + 38.66°) units
b. r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt - 38.66°) units
c. r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt - 38.66°) units
d. r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt + 38.66°) units
<u>Explanation</u>:
To find the time-domain sinusoid for a phasor, given as a + bj, we follow the following steps:
(i) Convert the phasor to polar form. The polar form is written as;
r∠Ф
Where;
r = magnitude of the phasor =
Ф = direction = tan⁻¹ ()
(ii) Use the magnitude (r) and direction (Φ) from the polar form to get the general form of the time-domain sinusoid (r(t)) as follows:
r(t) = r cos (ωt + Φ)
Where;
ω = angular frequency of the sinusoid
Φ = phase angle of the sinusoid
