Q. 3. An alternating current after passing through a rectifier has the form i={i0sinx,0,0≤x≤ππ≤x≤2πwhere io is the maximum current and the period is 2π. Express ' i ' in a Fourier series.[Ans. i=2i0+2i0sinx−π2i0∑even ∞n2−1cosnx
Question Prompt: Question Prompt: Express the given piecewise function for alternating current in a Fourier series.
Step 1: Step 1: Identify the function to be transformed into a Fourier series. The function is defined piecewise:i(x)={i0sin(x)for 0≤x≤π,0for π<x≤2π.
Step 2: Step 2: Write the general form of a Fourier series. A Fourier series is given by: i(x)=2a0+∑n=1∞(ancos(nx)+bnsin(nx)).
Step 3: Step 3: Calculate the constant term a0, which is the average value of the function over one period [0,2π]: a0=π1∫02πi(x)dx=π1(∫0πi0sin(x)dx+∫π2π0dx)=π1(i0[−cos(x)]0π)=π1(i0[−cos(π)+cos(0)])=π1(i0[1+1])=π2i0.
