  Alternating Current
    1.0 Introduction
    2.0 Alternating current and alternating voltage
    3.0 Some important terms
    4.0 Circuit element in AC circuit
    5.0 Power in AC circuit

4.9 Summary


Circuit element

Amplitude relation

Circuit quantity

Impedance

Phase of $V$

Phase of $i$

Resistor

$${i_0} = \frac{{{V_0}}}{R}$$

$$R$$

$$Z = R$$

same as $i$

same as $V$

Capacitor

$${i_0} = \frac{{{V_0}}}{X_C}$$

$${X_C} = \frac{1}{{\omega C}}$$

$$Z = {X_C}\left( { - \widehat j} \right)$$

lags $i$ by $90^\circ $

leads $V$ by $90^\circ $

Inductor

$${i_0} = \frac{{{V_0}}}{X_L}$$

$${X_L} = \omega L$$

$$Z = {X_L}\left( {\widehat j} \right)$$

leads $i$ by $90^\circ $

lags $V$ by $90^\circ $
