, CHAPTER 2

Problem 2.1 Statement:

Formulate an equation for the vector loop illustrated in Figure P.2.1. Consider that vector V j

always lies along the real axis.




Figure P.2.1 Vector loop (3 vectors where V j changes length) in 2-D complex space

Problem 2.1 Solution:

Taking the clockwise sum of the vector loop in Figure P.2.1 produces the equation

V1ei1 +V2 ei2 − Vj = 0 .

When expanded and separated into real and imaginary terms, the vector loop equation becomes

V1 cos1 +V2 cos2 − Vj = 0
.
V1 sin 1 +V2 sin 2 = 0

Problem 2.2 Statement:

Formulate an equation for the vector loop illustrated in Figure P.2.2. Consider that vector V j

always lies along the real axis and vector V3 is always perpendicular to the real axis.
