Let's break the problem into parts and solve step by step.
### **Given Data:**
- **Generator open-circuit voltage:**
\( v_g(t) = 10 \sin(8000\pi t)\ \mathrm{V} \)
- **Generator internal impedance:**
\( Z_g = 40 + j30\ \Omega \)
- **Transmission line characteristic impedance:**
\( Z_0 = 50\ \Omega \) (matched)
- **Line resistance per meter:**
\( R' = 0.5\ \Omega/\mathrm{m} \)
- **Loss tangent:**
\( \tan\delta = 0.18\% = 0.0018 \)
- **Line length:**
\( l = 50\ \mathrm{m} \)
- **Matched load:**
\( Z_L = Z_0 = 50\ \Omega \)
### **Step 1: Angular frequency**
From the source:
\[
v_g(t) = 10 \sin(8000\pi t)
\]
So,
\[
\omega = 8000\pi\ \mathrm{rad/s}
\]
\[
f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} = 4000\ \mathrm{Hz}
\]
---
## **Step 2: Line parameters**
Assuming a low-loss or distortionless line (as stated), and given loss tangent:
- **Loss tangent:**
\(\tan\delta = \frac{\sigma}{\omega \epsilon} = 0.0018\)
We'll need to find the propagation constant \(\gamma\) and characteristic impedance \(Z_0\).
### **Characteristic Impedance \(Z_0\)**
Given as \(50~\Omega\), so we do **not** need to calculate.
---
### **Propagation Constant \(\gamma\) and Attenuation**
For a distortionless line:
\[
\gamma = \alpha + j\beta
\]
Where \(\alpha\) is the attenuation constant (Np/m), and \(\beta\) is the phase constant (rad/m).
For a distortionless line:
\[
\frac{R'}{L'} = \frac{G'}{C'}
\]
But we have a small loss tangent, so assume a low-loss line.
#### **Attenuation constant:**
\[
\alpha \approx \frac{R'}{2Z_0}
\]
Given:
\[
R' = 0.5~\Omega/\mathrm{m},\qquad Z_0 = 50~\Omega
\]
\[
\alpha = \frac{0.5}{2 \times 50} = \frac{0.5}{100} = 0.005~\mathrm{Np/m}
\]
#### **Phase constant:**
For low-loss lines, \(\beta \approx \omega \sqrt{L'C'}\), but since the line is distortionless and matched, and we have no velocity given, let's just use
\[
v_p \approx c = 3 \times 10^8~\mathrm{m/s}
\]
\[
\beta = \frac{\omega}{v_p} = \frac{8000\pi}{3 \times 10^8} \approx 8.3776 \times 10^{-5}~\mathrm{rad/m}
\]
---
## **Step 3: Input voltage to the line**
The generator is connected to the line via its internal impedance, so the voltage **at the input of the line** is:
Let:
- \( V_g = 10\angle{-90^\circ}~\mathrm{V} \) (since \( \sin(\omega t) = \Im\{e^{j\omega t}\} \), or equivalently \( 10\sin(\omega t) = 10\cos(\omega t - 90^\circ) \)).
The line is matched (\(Z_0 = Z_L = 50~\Omega\)), so no reflection.
The voltage divider at the input:
\[
V_{in} = V_g \cdot \frac{Z_0}{Z_g + Z_0}
\]
\[
Z_g + Z_0 = (40 + j30) + 50 = (90 + j30)~\Omega
\]
\[
|Z_g + Z_0| = \sqrt{90^2 + 30^2} = \sqrt{8100 + 900} = \sqrt{9000} = 94.87~\Omega
\]
\[
\angle Z_g + Z_0 = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{30}{90} \right) = \tan^{-1}(1/3) \approx 18.43^\circ
\]
\[
V_{in} = 10\angle{-90^\circ} \cdot \frac{50}{94.87} \angle{-18.43^\circ}
= 10 \cdot 0.527 \angle{-108.43^\circ}
= 5.27 \angle{-108.43^\circ}~\mathrm{V}
\]
---
## **Step 4: Forward voltage and current on the line**
For a matched line (no reflection):
The forward voltage at the input (\(z=0\)):
\[
\tilde{V}_+(0) = V_{in}
\]
The forward current:
\[
\tilde{I}_+(0) = \frac{\tilde{V}_+(0)}{Z_0}
= \frac{5.27 \angle{-108.43^\circ}}{50}
= 0.1054 \angle{-108.43^\circ}~\mathrm{A}
\]
The voltage and current at any point \(z\) along the line (\(z=0\) at the generator, \(z=l\) at the load):
\[
\tilde{V}(z) = \tilde{V}_+(0) e^{-\gamma z}
\]
\[
\tilde{I}(z) = \frac{\tilde{V}_+(0)}{Z_0} e^{-\gamma z}
\]
Where:
\[
\gamma = \alpha + j\beta
\]
\[
e^{-\gamma z} = e^{-\alpha z} e^{-j\beta z}
\]
---
## **Step 5: Instantaneous expressions at arbitrary location (\(z\)), and at the load (\(z=l\))**
### **(a) At arbitrary location \(z\):**
\[
v(z, t) = |\tilde{V}_+(0)| e^{-\alpha z} \sin \left( \omega t + \phi_{V_+} - \beta z \right )
\]
where \(\phi_{V_+} = -108.43^\circ \)
\[
i(z, t) = \frac{|\tilde{V}_+(0)|}{Z_0} e^{-\alpha z} \sin \left( \omega t + \phi_{V_+} - \beta z \right )
\]
**Plug in numbers:**
- \( |\tilde{V}_+(0)| = 5.27~\mathrm{V} \)
- \( \phi_{V_+} = -108.43^\circ = -1.893~\mathrm{rad} \)
- \( \alpha = 0.005~\mathrm{Np/m} \)
- \( \beta = 8.3776 \times 10^{-5}~\mathrm{rad/m} \)
- \( Z_0 = 50~\Omega \)
- \( \omega = 8000\pi~\mathrm{rad/s} \)
Thus,
\[
\boxed{
v(z, t) = 5.27\, e^{-0.005 z} \sin \left( 8000\pi t - 1.893 - 8.38 \times 10^{-5} z \right )~\mathrm{V}
}
\]
\[
\boxed{
i(z, t) = 0.1054\, e^{-0.005 z} \sin \left( 8000\pi t - 1.893 - 8.38 \times 10^{-5} z \right )~\mathrm{A}
}
\]
---
### **(b) At the load (\(z = l = 50~\mathrm{m}\))**
First, calculate the attenuation factor:
\[
e^{-\alpha l} = e^{-0.005 \times 50} = e^{-0.25} \approx 0.7788
\]
\[
\beta l = 8.38 \times 10^{-5} \times 50 = 0.00419~\mathrm{rad}
\]
So, at the load:
\[
v(l, t) = 5.27 \times 0.7788 \sin \left( 8000\pi t - 1.893 - 0.00419 \right )
\]
\[
\approx 4.10 \sin (8000\pi t - 1.897 )~\mathrm{V}
\]
\[
i(l, t) = 0.1054 \times 0.7788 \sin \left( 8000\pi t - 1.897 \right )
\]
\[
\approx 0.0821 \sin (8000\pi t - 1.897 )~\mathrm{A}
\]
\[
\boxed{
v(l, t) = 4.10 \sin (8000\pi t - 1.897)~\mathrm{V}
}
\]
\[
\boxed{
i(l, t) = 0.0821 \sin (8000\pi t - 1.897)~\mathrm{A}
}
\]
---
### **(c) Average power delivered to the load**
For a matched, lossy line, the average power delivered to the load is:
\[
P_{avg} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{|V_{load}|^2}{Z_0}
\]
Where \( V_{load} \) is the **phasor amplitude** at the load (\(z = l\)): \( |V_{load}| = 4.10~\mathrm{V} \)
\[
P_{avg} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{(4.10)^2}{50}
= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{16.81}{50}
= \frac{8.405}{50}
= 0.168~\mathrm{W}
\]
---
## **Final answers (boxed):**
---
### **(a) Voltage and current at arbitrary location \(z\) along the line:**
\[
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
v(z,t) &= 5.27\,e^{-0.005 z} \sin(8000\pi t - 1.893 - 8.38\times 10^{-5} z)\ \mathrm{V} \\
i(z,t) &= 0.1054\,e^{-0.005 z} \sin(8000\pi t - 1.893 - 8.38\times 10^{-5} z)\ \mathrm{A}
\end{aligned}
}
\]
---
### **(b) Voltage and current at the load (\(z=l=50~\mathrm{m}\)):**
\[
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
v(l, t) &= 4.10\,\sin(8000\pi t - 1.897)\ \mathrm{V} \\
i(l, t) &= 0.0821\,\sin(8000\pi t - 1.897)\ \mathrm{A}
\end{aligned}
}
\]
---
### **(c) Average power delivered to the load:**
\[
\boxed{
P_{avg} = 0.168~\mathrm{W}
}
\]
