What components does a RLC cct have?
Resistive (R)
Inductive (L)
Capactive (C)
Impendance (Z) is the total opposition?
To the flow of current in a ac cct
Inductive Reactance causes current lag or lead?
Lag voltage
Capacitive reactance causes current to lead or lag?
Lead voltage
Inductance in a cct opposes a change in current by
Inducing a counter electromotive force (cemf)
Inductance in a coil or cct is measured in?
Henrys (H)
Inductive reactance is directly or indirectly porportional to frequency and inductances?
Directly
Capacitance is measured in?
Farads (F)
What is Capacitance (C)
Property of a cct that allows it to store energy in the electrostatic field and release it back into the cct
Capacitive reactance is measured in?
Ohms
The opposition in a capacitive ac cct causes current to lead or lag voltage?
Current to lead voltage by 90°
Capacitive reactance is indirectly or directly proportional to frequency and capacitance?
Is indirectly proportional to both frequency and capacitance
Impedance definition
Impedance is the total opposition to the flow of current in a ac cct
Inductive reactance causes to current and voltage lag lead??
