Read 12.10, 12.11
Do 12.71, P11.6-6 from
another textbook. (Your web brouwser must be
logged into courses@dordt for the above link
to work.)
Hint on P11.6-6: The power angle is defined
as (θv – θi) but θv = 0 due to the location
of the given reference node. Then what is θi ?
Note errata on pages 534-535 and 537 and 541
and the answer to 12.71 and the
alternative development of Eq. 12.67.
Optional Reading: more on "Split-Phase" and on
"High-Leg Delta" (also called red-leg, orange-
leg, wild-leg, stinger-leg, bastard-leg and similar
". . . leg" names) and still more on "Open-Delta"
(scroll to last section of the page)"
On Wednesday, 12/11 there will be a box labeled
"EGR 220 Homework" near Prof. De Boer's office
door. Drop your homework in the box by 5 PM
Wednesday, 12/11 for final grading.
This problem set will be graded and ready for
pickup by 5 PM Thursday, 12/12. Pick your

Note 1.) All voltages and currents given
in Chapter 12 are RMS unless otherwise noted.
Note 2.) "Determine the current," means "find
the RMS value of the current," which is what
an AC ammeter does. There is no angle in the
answer. Only give phasors as answers when
phasors are requested.
Note 3.) Use the phasor transform when
possible. It makes these problems easier.

and Sinusoidal Steady-State Circuit Analysis
Read 9.7, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3
Do 9.59, 9.90, 10.27
Hints for 9.90: KVL around the loop using the
three labled phasors is helpful. The phasors
form a triangle. Take V1 as the reference phasor
(has angle zero). A graph of these phasors
drawn to scale can be helpful to estimate
angles for the phasors and the "Law of Cosines"
can be used to find them analytically. Once
the three phasor angles are known the loop
current phasor can be found, etc.

In Section 14.3 note equation 14.10.
Do 5.1, 5.5, 5.9
Hint for 5.1: In the application of Eq. 14.10 to
Problem 5.1 assume R1 = R2. The phrase
"voltage gain" is a signal to use this
assumption even if it is untrue.
Hint for 5.9: Since the specifications for the
op-amp (Ri, Ro, A) are not given, assume it is
ideal. This is the customary practice whenever
the data needed to describe non-ideal behavior
is not given.
Note errata on the answer to Problem 5.5
Optional: View this anamated tutorial From ASU
on the topic of the ideal op-amp.
The tutorial uses the word impedance. This is a
generalization of resistance. We will study impedance
later in this course. For now, just consider it to mean
the same thing as resistance.
