AC Circuit Containing Resistance only - Let an AC source of EMF E be connected to a pure resistance R. The instantaneous EMF from the source is given by E = E o sin w t From Ohm's law I = E/R = E o /R . sin w t I = I o sin w t The variation of E and I shows that both r..

Let an AC source be connected across pure inductive element. If E = E o sin w t then, q = EC = CE o sin w t I = I o cos w t Here I o = E o C w = E o C w plays the role of a resistance and is known as capacitive reactance X c ...

AC Circuit Containing Resistance, Inductance and Capacitance Circuit (LCR in series) - When an AC source is connected in a circuit with a resistance and a reactance together, the current varies initially in a complex way. After sufficient time, a si..

Let an AC source be connected across a pure inductive element. If the alternating current I = I o sin w t flows through it. Then According to Kirchhoff's Law E = E o cos w t or..

When an AC source is connected in a circuit with a resistance and a reactance together, the current varies initially in a complex way. After sufficient time, a sinusoidally varying current persists in the circuit. This steady state current has a frequency equal t..

>This frequency for which the current in AC circuit reaches a peak value and the A.C circuit behaves like a pure resistive circuit is called resonant frequency. The following diagram shows the variation of frequency with I o . Notice that as the val..

. Other repeating coils, connecting other pairs of subscribers, may be tied in at the points BC, B'C', and when G, connected will offer extremely high impedance to the flow of voice current from one channel to the other, but practically none to the flow of voice current in its own channel. The talk..

>Total work done or energy spent in maintaining current over one full cycle. The second term is zero over complete cycle i.e., Therefore, The quantity cos q is called the power factor of the AC circuit and we kn..
