The correct Answer is:
To find the resultant emf from two alternating voltage generators producing emfs of the same amplitude \(E_0\) but with a phase difference of \(\frac{\pi}{3}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the emfs Let the first emf be represented as: \[ E_1 = E_0 \sin(\omega t) \] And the second emf, considering the phase difference of \(\frac{\pi}{3}\), is: \[ E_2 = E_0 \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}\right) \] ### Step 2: Write the expression for the resultant emf The resultant emf \(E\) is the sum of the two emfs: \[ E = E_1 + E_2 = E_0 \sin(\omega t) + E_0 \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}\right) \] ### Step 3: Factor out the common amplitude We can factor out \(E_0\): \[ E = E_0 \left( \sin(\omega t) + \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}\right) \right) \] ### Step 4: Use the sine addition formula We can use the sine addition formula: \[ \sin A + \sin B = 2 \sin\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right) \cos\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right) \] Let \(A = \omega t\) and \(B = \omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}\). Then: \[ E = E_0 \left( 2 \sin\left(\frac{\omega t + \left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}\right)}{2}\right) \cos\left(\frac{\omega t - \left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}\right)}{2}\right) \right) \] ### Step 5: Simplify the expression Calculating the averages: \[ \frac{A+B}{2} = \frac{2\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3}}{2} = \omega t + \frac{\pi}{6} \] \[ \frac{A-B}{2} = \frac{-\frac{\pi}{3}}{2} = -\frac{\pi}{6} \] Thus, we have: \[ E = E_0 \left( 2 \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) \cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) \right) \] ### Step 6: Substitute the value of \(\cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\) Using the fact that \(\cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\): \[ E = E_0 \left( 2 \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) \] This simplifies to: \[ E = \sqrt{3} E_0 \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) \] ### Final Result The resultant emf is: \[ E = \sqrt{3} E_0 \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) \]
