Exponential Fourier SeriesPeriodic signals are represented over a certain interval of time in terms of the linear combination of orthogonal functions. If these orthogonal functions are the exponential functions, then the Fourier series representation of the function is called the exponential Fourier series.The exponential Fourier series is the most widely ...

When a voltage of V volts is applied across a resistance of R Ω, then a current I flows through it. The power dissipated in the resistance is given by, $$\mathrm{P=I^2R=\frac{V^2}{R}\:\:\:\:\:\:....(1)}$$But when the voltage and current signals are not constant, then the power varies at every instant, and the equation ...
