Instantaneous Current, Voltage and Power

The instantaneous current and voltage in an electric circuit are given by i = Icos50 pi t v = Vcos(50 pi t + pi/6) Determine an expression for the instantaneous power in the circuit, p = iv, as the sum of two cosines. If I is 3 mA and V is 5 V, calculate the maximum value of p, giving your answer in watts correct to three si ...continues
