Energy and Power

Energy

The following is the energy expended by the signal $ sin(2t) $ from $ t = 0 $ to $ t = 4\pi $:

$ E = \int_{0}^{4\pi} \mid sin(2t) \mid^2\, dx $


Integration tables will tell us that:

$ \int_{0}^{4\pi} \mid sin(2t) \mid^2\, dx = \mid \frac{t}{2} - \frac{sin(2*2*t)}{4*2} \mid $ evaluated at 0 and subtracted from the value at 4$ \pi $.


$ E = 2\pi $


Power

The following is the average power expended by the signal $ sin(2t) $ from $ t = 0 $ to $ t = 4\pi $:

$ P = \frac{1}{4\pi - 0} \int_{0}^{4\pi} \mid sin(2t) \mid^2\, dx $

Alumni Liaison

To all math majors: "Mathematics is a wonderfully rich subject."
