Question:
An alternating current, 𝑖 amperes, is given by 𝑖 = 10sin2𝜋𝑓𝑡, where 𝑓 is the frequency in hertz and 𝑡 the time in seconds. Determine the rate of change of current when 𝑡 = 20𝑚𝑠, given that 𝑓 = 150𝐻𝑧.
Answer:
Firstly add the constant for frequency (𝑓 = 150Hz) into the equation given for current:
Differentiate and input the variable 𝑡, (remember 20ms = 0.02s).
