An alternating voltage v = vm sin ωt applied to a resistor R
drives a current i = im sin ωt in the resistor, mm

The current is in phase with the applied voltage. _____________________ Slide 2 ______________________
For an alternating current i = im sin ωt passing through a resistor R, the average power loss P (averaged over a cycle) due to joule heating is (1/2)i2m R.
To express it in the same form as the dc power (P = I2R), a special value of current is used.
It is called root mean square (rms) current and is denoted
by 00
iI 0.707 i2
= = The mean or average value of
alternating e.m.f. over positive half cycle (0 to T/2) is 0
m 02EE 0.637 E= =π
The average power loss over a
complete cycle is given by P = V I cos φ. The term cos φ is called the power factor. When a value is
given for ac voltage or current, it is ordinarily the rms value. The usual domestic power supply “220 – volt ac” has an rms voltage of 220 V.
The voltage amplitude or peak value is ( )m rmsE 2 E 2 220V 311V= = =
Phase angle between Erms and Irms sin φ is π/2, average power consumed in the circuit due to components Irms sin φ is zero. Only the component Irms cos φ which is to actually responsible for consumption of power in an a.c. circuit.
Slide 4
An ac voltage V = Vm sin ωt applied to pure inductor L, drives a current in the inductor i = im sin (ωt – π/2), where im = vm/XL.
XL = ωL is called inductive reactance. The current in the inductor lags the voltage by π/2. The average power supplied to an inductor over one
complete cycle is zero.
Inductor offers no opposition to the flow of d.c. or where as a
resistive path to a.c. An ac voltage V = Vm sin ωt applied to a capacitor drives a current in the capacitor: i = im sin (ωt + π/2). Here.

is called capacitive reactance.

The current through the capacitor is π/2 ahead of the applied voltage.
As in the case of inductor, the average power supplied to a capacitor over one complete cycle is zero.
In a high frequency A.C. circuit, the capacitor acts like a conductor. In an ac circuit, while adding voltages across different elements, one should take care of their phases properly. For example, if VR and VC are voltages across R and C, respectively in an RC circuit, then the total voltage across RC combination is 2 2
RC R CV V V= + and not VR + VC since
VC is π/2 out of phase of VR.

In a purely inductive or capacitive circuit, cos φ = 0 and no power is dissipated even though a current is flowing in the circuit.
In such cases, current is referred to as a wattles current. _____________________ Slide 5 ______________________
For a series RLC circuit driven by voltage v – vm sin ωt, the current is given by
An interesting characteristic of a series LCR circuit is the phenomenon of resonance. The circuit exhibits resonance, i.e., the amplitude of the current is maximum at the resonant

In this case, the alternating elm leads the current I by a phase angle φ.
The a.c. circuit is then inductance dominated circuit.
(b) When 1LC

, then tan φ is –ve i.e., φ is negative. In this
case, the alternating e.m.f. lags behind the current I by a phase angle φ. The a.c. circuit is then capacitance dominated circuit.
(c) When 1LC
ω =ω
then tan φ = 0 i.e., φ = 0.
In the case, the alternating e.m.f. and current I are in phase.
The a.c. circuit is then non – inductive _____________________ Slide 7 ______________________
