2. Wave Description
Amplitude (Vpeak) - maximum displacement
from the zero line
Period (T) - the time required for one cycle
Frequency (f) - the number of cycles that
appear in a time span
1 cycle per second = 1 Hertz
T=1/f
3. Angular Velocity (w) - rotation rate of a
vector (or generator shaft)
w is measure in radians per second.

4. Sinusoidal Voltage Relationships
v = Vpeaksin q
v = Vpeaksin wt
v = Vpeaksin 2t/T
v = Vpeaksin 2ft
Which form you use depends on what you know
5. Phase Relationship
f = phase angle
For initial intersections before 0
v=Vpsin(wt+f)
For initial intersections after 0
v=Vpsin(wt-f)
6. Resistive Circuit
Only for a resistive circuit can current and
voltage be in phase.
If the current and voltage go through zero
at different times, they are said to be out
of phase
8. Example Problems
Example 4.7:
o Determine the phase relationship between the
following two waveforms:
v=8.6 sin(300t+80°)
i=0.12 sin(300t+10°)
9. 4.4 Effective (RMS) Value
These mean the same thing for AC circuits:
o “equivalent DC voltage”
o “effective voltage”
o “rms voltage”
RMS = root mean square
Draw the “relating effective values” plots.

14. Effective Values
Average values for I or V are zero
If we use IV to measure power with a dc
meter, we will get zero
o Yet the resistor gets hot – power is dissipated
o I and V are not always zero – you can get
shocked from ac just like dc
We need a new definition for power
15. Use Effective (rms) Values
PR = VRIR = IR
2R = VR
2/R
Look just like the dc forms of power
o But we use rms values instead
16. 4.7 The R, L, and C Elements
Ohm’s Law for Peak Values
Resistors: Vpeak=IpeakR
Capacitors: Vpeak=IpeakXC
Inductors: Vpeak=IpeakXL
17. Inductive Reactance
Recall the form of inductance
Since I for ac is constantly changing, there is a
constant opposition to the flow of current
o Inductive Reactance XL = wL = 2fL
o Measured in ohms
o Energy is stored in the coil, not dissipated like in the
resistor.

18. Example
An inductor of 400 mH is connected
across a 120 V, 60 Hz ac source. Find XL
and the current through the coil
a. XL = 2fL = 2(60 Hz)(0.4 H)
XL = 151 W
b. I = V/XL = 120 v/151 W
I = 0.8 A
19. XL vs. f graph for ideal inductor

o The current iL through a 10-mH inductor is

the inductor.
23. Capacitive Reactance
The effect of a capacitor is to prevent
changes in voltage
o Keep the potential difference from building up
in the circuit
Since the build up of potential is minimized,
the flow of current is reduced.
o Capacitors act like a resistance in an ac circuit.
24. Capacitive Reactance
V is changing in ac circuits
o But Q = VC, so the charge changes also
o Since , current is greatest when change in
voltage is greatest.

29. 3.6 Phasors and Complex Numbers
A vector is a quantity has both magnitude and
direction.
A scalar quantity has only a magnitude.
Examples:
o Scalar: 50mph
o Vector: 50mph North
30. A phasor is a complex number used to
represent a sine wave’s amplitude and
phase.
A complex number can be written as
C = A + Bj
where C is a complex number,
A and B are real numbers and

mf. Compute the circuit impedance and current.
42. Power Factor
In dc circuits we had P = IV and this still
holds in purely resistive circuits with ac
In general, I and V are out of phase in ac
circuits.
o At times V and I are negative and power is
drawn from the circuit.
o Thus the true power must be less than IV
