AB*AC = AB+C
For example
103 * 10-6 = 10-3 = 1/103
m * k = unit (10-3 * 103 = 1)
10 kHz * 27 µF = 10 * 103 Hz * 27 * 10-6 F = 10*27*103*10-6 Hz * F= 270 * 10-3 1/?
= 270 * 1/103 1/? = 270 * 1/(103 ?) = 270 * 1/(k?)
So if we were looking for a resistance (note: this is similar to finding impedance in that it is the correct unit, but wrong in that we are ignoring 2π), 1/(270 * 1/(k?)) = .0037 k?
Question #1
A sine wave generator has an output waveform v(t) = 10 cos ( 200 π t) volts
a. What is the amplitude of the sine wave?
b. What is the frequency of the sine wave?
c. What is the rms voltage of the generator output?
Question #2
A sine wave generator has an output waveform v(t) = 10 cos ( 200 π t).
a. A second sine wave generator has an output waveform v(t) = 10 cos ( 200 π t + π / 2 ).
What is the relative phase angle between the waveforms of the two generators?
Give you answer in radians and degrees.
b. The trig identity cos (A + B) = cos A cosB - sin A sin B is useful in telecommunications.
Expand the equation v(t) = 10 cos ( 200 π t + π / 2 ) using this identity, where A = 200 π t and B = π / 2.

Question #4
a. What is the approximate range of frequencies that can be heard by the human ear?
b. What is the range of frequencies sent over a wire line telephone connection?
c. What is the bandwidth of an analog (NTSC) television video signal? (Note with the advent of digital TV broadcasting analog NTSC broadcast signals are now obsolete.)
Question #5

In the United States, residential mains power is nominally 120V rms at 60 Hz.
a. What is the peak voltage?
b. What is the rms current that would flow through a 100W incandescent light bulb (of happy memory!)?
