Process • Simplify the phasor diagram by taking wt=0 ; (t=0) • Calculate the reactances • Calculate the voltages • Add them all up as vectors. • Let’s see what this means
The AC Circuit “i” The Same EVERYWHERE
wt=0 Instantaneous current = i Maximum Current = I Z i(XL-XC) R R
Example Problem A series RLC AC circuit has R = 400,L = 1.05 H, C = 4.00μF, ω = 377 s-1, and ΔVmax = 150 V.Determine the inductive reactance, the capacitive reactance, and the impedance of the circuit.Find the maximum current in the circuit.Find the phase angle between the current and voltage.Find both the maximum voltage across each element.
