Given data:
The voltage can be expressed as,
v = 520 sin (30t - 5π/4) ...... (1)
Now, the general equation of the sine wave can be given as,
[tex]v=V_m\text{ sin}(\omega t+\phi)\ldots\ldots\text{ }(2)[/tex]Here,
[tex]\phi[/tex]is the phase angle,
[tex]V_m[/tex]is the maximum voltage, and
[tex]\omega[/tex]is the angular frequency.
Compare equations (1) and (2), we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \phi=-\frac{5\pi\text{ rad}}{4}(\frac{180\degree}{\pi}) \\ =-225\degree \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the phase angle is
[tex]-225\degree[/tex]and the first option (-225 degrees) is correct.
