1. 1 Alternating Current and RLC Circuits Alternating Current: the current direction changes with time.
Compare with DC in which the current direction stays the same with respect to time, the magnitude of the current may change.
A typical case in AC: I = IMAXSIN(?t). A power source normally is described as V = VMAXSIN(?t).
Generation: rotating wire loops in magnetic field generate AC power. (demo: 32.18)
Main advantages: for power generation (actually the magnet turns) and transmission.
Review: DC on RC and RL circuit, and now pay attention to the current/voltage relationship in time.
