AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the relationship between phasors in the context of sinusoidal voltage and current. It explains how the expression wLT /_ theta can be rewritten as wL /_ theta X T /_ (theta - 90), indicating a phase shift. The participants clarify that this transformation relates to the multiplication of phasors, specifically involving the phase difference between voltage and current in inductive circuits. The conversation also references the mathematical representation of phasors using exponential notation. Ultimately, the discussion emphasizes understanding the phase relationships in sinusoidal functions and their implications in electrical engineering.

By wL /_ theta X T /_ (theta - 90)

do you mean ##\omega L \angle\theta\times T\angle (\theta-90^\circ)## ?

Following:
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Phasor

You seem to be asking how we can say:$$\omega LT e^{i\theta} = \omega L e^{i\theta}Te^{i(\theta-\frac{\pi}{2})}$$ ... multiply it out and see what the phasor looks like.

Where did you get this relation from?

The book says that a sinusoidal voltage v(t)=Vcos(wt+ ##\theta##) can be defined by the phasor V=V##\angle \theta## where ##\theta## is the phase angle

The actual relation is
V=##wLI\angle \theta##
and that it can be written in the form
V=##(wL\angle\theta)## x ##I\angle(\theta-90)##

so then that should mean ##wLIe^{(wt+\theta)}## can be written in the form
##wL e^{(wt+\theta)}Ie^{(wt+\theta-90)}##...?

So ##v(t)=Re[Ye^{\omega t}]## so ##Y=Ve^{j\theta}## and you write it as ##Y=V\angle\theta##

so then that should mean ##wLIe^{(wt+\theta)}## can be written in the form
##wL e^{(wt+\theta)}Ie^{(wt+\theta-90)}##...?

You should be able to translate the notation back into the cosine form to see what is happening.
I have a feeling your book is trying to talk about the phase difference between the voltage across an inductor and the current through it.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
