PPI Camara Practice Problem 98

bripgilb · Apr 9, 2018

Ladies and Gents,

Was working out this practice problem in PPI Camara. Problem #98.

I got 100degrees.

Looking through the solution I see that they put: (cos(180))=0... well I got: cos(180)=-1

Thoughts? Please, see references.

AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF THOSE TAKING THE EXAM THIS FRIDAY!

Thanks,

Brip

I got the same thing as you but cos^-1(-0.4659) = 117 degrees.

Check the errata on ppi's site. It's updated for 120deg. This integral can be quickly done with TI 36x pro or equiv.

Since we are on the topic of rectifiers, if this was a half wave rectifier we would need to change 1/pi to 1/(2*pi)??
