Degree
Angular measurement equal to 1/360 of the circumference of a circle.
Radian (rad):
Angle formed when the distance along the circumference of a circle equal the radius of the circle.
PI:
The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Has a constant value ≈ 3.1416
Angular measurements can be made in
degrees or radians.
There are …… or …… radians in one complete revolution.
360 or 2pi
rad =
(pi/180)*degree
degree=
(180/pi)*rad
The positive amplitude in the sine wave is equal to
90 degree
pi/2
the middle of the sine wave is equal to
180 degree
pi
the negative amplitude in the sine wave is equal to
270 degree
3pi/2
Phase:
Angular measurement that specifies the position on the sine wave relative to a reference point.
Sine wave shifted right
lags (-ve phase shift)
Sine wave shifted left
leads (+ve phase shift)
Phase shift
Occurs when a sine wave is shifted right or left in relation to the base/reference sine wave.
An important application of phase-shifted sine waves is in
electrical power systems
