• Consider a circuit consisting of an AC
source and a resistor
• The AC source is symbolized by
• ΔvR = Dv= Vmax sin wt
• ΔvR is the instantaneous voltage across the
resistor
• The instantaneous current in the resistor is
v R Vmax
iR   sin ωt  I max sin ωt
R R
• The instantaneous voltage across the resistor is also given as
ΔvR = Imax R sin ωt
• The graph shows the current through and the
voltage across the resistor
• The current and the voltage reach their
maximum values at the same time
• The current and the voltage are said to be in
phase
• For a sinusoidal applied voltage, the current in a resistor
is always in phase with the voltage across the resistor
• The direction of the current has no effect on the
behavior of the resistor
• Resistors behave essentially the same way in both DC
and AC circuits
Phasor Diagram
• To simplify the analysis of AC circuits, a graphical
constructor called a phasor diagram can be used
• A phasor is a vector whose length is proportional
to the maximum value of the variable it represents
• The vector rotates counterclockwise at an angular speed
equal to the angular frequency associated with the variable
• The projection of the phasor onto the vertical axis represents
the instantaneous value of the quantity it represents

• A 60 W light bulb operates on a peak voltage of 156 V. Find
the Vrms, Irms, and resistance of the light bulb.

• Vrms = 110 V
• Irms = 0.55 A
• R = 202 
Vrms = 156 V / 2 = 110 V
Irms: P = IV  60 W = I (110V)  .55 A
P=V2/R  60 W = (110 V)2/R  R = (110V)2/60W  202 

• This shows that the instantaneous current iL in the inductor and the
instantaneous voltage ΔvL across the inductor are out of phase by (/2)
rad = 90o
 Phase Relationship of Inductors in an AC Circuit
• The current is a maximum when the
voltage across the inductor is zero
– The current is momentarily not changing
• For a sinusoidal applied voltage, the
current in an inductor always lags behind
the voltage across the inductor by 90° (π/2)

Phasor Diagram for an Inductor

• The phasors are at 90o with respect to
each other
• This represents the phase difference
between the current and voltage
• Specifically, the current always lags
behind the voltage by 90o
 Inductive Reactance
• The factor ωL has the same units as resistance
and is related to current and voltage in the
same way as resistance
• Because ω depends on the frequency, it
reacts differently, in terms of offering
resistance to current, for different frequencies
• The factor XL is the inductive reactance and is
given by:
XL = ωL
 Inductive Reactance, cont.
• Current can be expressed in terms of the
inductive reactance
Vmax Vrms

• As the frequency increases, the inductive
reactance increases
– This is consistent with Faraday’s Law:
• The larger the rate of change of the current in the
inductor, the larger the back emf, giving an increase in
the reactance and a decrease in the current
Example 33.2 A Purely Inductive AC Circuit
In a purely inductive AC circuit, L = 25.0 mH and
the rms voltage is 150 V. Calculate the inductive
reactance and rms current in the circuit if the
frequency is 60.0 Hz.

What if the frequency increases to 6.00 kHz? What happens

to the rms current in the circuit?

• The circuit contains a capacitor and an AC source
• Kirchhoff’s loop rule gives:
Δv + Δvc = 0 and so
Δv = ΔvC = ΔVmax sin ωt
– Δvc is the instantaneous voltage across the capacitor

• The current is /2 rad = 90o out of phase with the voltage
• The current reaches its maximum
value one quarter of a cycle sooner
than the voltage reaches its
maximum value
• The current leads the voltage by 90 o

Phasor Diagram for Capacitor

• The phasor diagram shows that for
a sinusoidally applied voltage, the
current always leads the voltage
across a capacitor by 90o
 Capacitive Reactance
• The maximum current in the circuit occurs at
cos ωt = 1 which gives

• The impeding effect of a capacitor on the

ωC XC
 Voltage Across a Capacitor
• The instantaneous voltage across the capacitor can be
written as ΔvC = ΔVmax sin ωt = Imax XC sin ωt
• As the frequency of the voltage source increases, the
capacitive reactance decreases and the maximum
current increases
• As the frequency approaches zero, X C approaches infinity
and the current approaches zero
– This would act like a DC voltage and the capacitor would act as
an open circuit

If the frequency increases, the capacitive reactance
decreases—just the opposite as in the case of an inductor. The
decrease in capacitive reactance results in an increase in the

– In an inductor, the source does work against the back emf of the inductor
and energy is stored in the inductor, but when the current begins to

An AC power supply produces a maximum voltage ΔVmax = 100 V. This
power supply is connected to a 24.0‐Ω resistor, and the current and
resistor voltage are measured with an ideal AC ammeter and voltmeter,
as shown in Figure P33.3. What does each meter read? Note that an
ideal ammeter has zero resistance and that an ideal voltmeter has
infinite resistance
