WHAT IS ALTERNATING CURRENT ?
ALTERNATING CURRENT 4
Alternating current flows first in one direction and then in the other
direction.

RMS VALUES
Since voltage and current are always changing we need some way of
averaging out their effect.
We use r.m.s values (root-mean-square)
The r.m.s values are the DC values which give the same average
power output

AC N CAPACTORS
In an AC circuit, the current can continue to flow, as the plates
become alternately charged positively and negatively
ALTERNATING CURRENT 11
REACTANCE
Reactance is a measure of how a capacitor can limit alternating
current.
It is similar to resistance but differs in that it is dependent on the
frequency of the ac supply.
It also depends on the size of the capacitor.

AC IN INDUCTORS
.In an AC circuit, the current is always changing so the inductor is always producing an
opposing voltage so is always limiting the amount of current that can flow
For both AC and DC circuits, the voltage across the resistor is related to the current by V=IR
A similar relationship exists for an inductor

PHASE RELATIONSHIP
ALTERNATING CURRENT 17
The voltage phasors are not necessarily the same size, but are always
90out of phase.
ALTERNATING CURRENT 18
Again the voltages may be different sizes but will always be 90 out of
phase
ALTERNATING CURRENT 19
RLC CIRCUITS
The supply voltage is now found
by adding all 3 phasors together.
(VL and VC are combined into
one first)
ALTERNATING CURRENT 20
RESONANCE
At resonance, VL=VC and they cancel each
other out. So VS=VR and if VR is at max then
I is at max.
