1. Determine the RMS value of v(t) = 10 + 20 sin(314t + π6 ) + 12 sin(2 × 314t + π4 ) V.

2. A sinusoidal voltage source of v(t) = 200 sin(2π50t+ π6 ) V is applied to a nonlinear load, result-
ing in a nonsinusoidal current i(t) = 10 sin(2π50t+ π3 )+6 sin(4π50t+ π2 )+3 sin(8π50t + π4 ) A.
Determine the power absorbed by the load.

3. Calculate
√ the value of the ninth harmonic current, I9 , of the current i(t) = 10 2 sin(2π50t) +
I9 2 sin(18π50t) A, if the THD is 20%.
4. A single phase uncontrolled half-wave rectifier is connected to a single phase 230 V, 50 Hz
AC supply. If the load resistance is 10 Ω, calculate the input power factor.
5. A single phase controlled half-wave rectifier is fed from a single phase 230 V, 50 Hz AC source.
It produces an average output voltage of 78 V across a 100 Ω resistor. Calculate the RMS
value of the output voltage.
6. A single phase uncontrolled full-wave bridge rectifier is connected to a single phase 230 V,
50 Hz AC supply. The load on the rectifier is RL type with R=20 Ω and an inductor L large
enough to cause a constant load current. Determine the average load current.
7. A single phase fully controlled full-wave bridge rectifier is connected to a single phase 230 V,
50 Hz AC supply. The load on the rectifier is RLE type with R=5 Ω, E=100 V and an
inductor L large enough to cause a constant load current. Determine the firing angle α (in
degrees) such that the power absorbed by the DC source (E) is 1000 W.
8. A three phase uncontrolled bridge rectifier is fed from a three phase 440 V, 50 Hz AC source.
The source inductance is 2 mH per phase. The load connected to this rectifier is modelled
as a constant DC current source. If the average output voltage is 588 V, then calculate the
commutation interval u (in degrees).
9. A three phase fully controlled bridge rectifier is fed from a three phase 440 V, 50 Hz AC
supply. The rectifier feeds an RL load with R=10 Ω and an inductor L large enough to cause
a constant load current. Determine the firing angle (in degrees) to produce an average load
current of 50 A.
10. A three phase fully controlled bridge rectifier is fed from a three phase 440 V, 50 Hz AC
supply. The rectifier feeds an RL load with R=50 Ω and an inductor L large enough to cause
a constant load current. If the firing angle is 60◦ , calculate the power absorbed by the load.
