Ac Theory Flashcards
1
Q
In a purely resistive circuit how do the phases react?
A
They are in phase with eachother neither is leading or lagging.
2
Q
In an inductive circuit how do the phases react?
A
In an inductive circuit the phases are out of phases and the current lags the voltage.
3
Q
In a capacitive circuit how do the phases react?
A
In a capacitive circuit the phases are out of phase and the current leads the voltage.
4
Q
In a series circuit what changes and what stays the same?
A
Voltage changes and current stays the same.
5
Q
In a parallel circuit what changes and what stays the same?
A
Voltage stays the same and current changes.
6
Q
In an Rc And Rl circuit what is Z? and how is it calculated?
A
Impedance
