TRANSIENTS IN CAPACITIVE NETWORKS:
CHARGING PHASE
Note: The time constant of charging and discharging may or may not be same.
current cannot change
instantaneously in an inductive
network.
AC Circuits (Steady State)
THE SINUSOIDAL VOLTAGE OR CURRENT WAVE FORM
Concept of Lead and Lag
The terms lead and lag are used to indicate the relationship between
two sinusoidal waveforms of the same frequency plotted on the same
set of axes.
EFFECTIVE (rms) VALUES
For a purely resistive element, the voltage across and the current through
the element are in phase, with their peak values related by Ohm’s law.
RESPONSE OF “L” to SINUSOIDAL VOLTAGE OR CURRENT
Like the inductor, the capacitor does not dissipate energy in any
form (ignoring the effects of the leakage resistance)
Effect of high and low frequencies on the circuit model of an inductor
and a capacitor.
FREQUENCY RESPONSE OF THE BASIC ELEMENTS
as the applied frequency increases, the resistance of a resistor remains
constant, the reactance of an inductor increases linearly, and the
reactance of a capacitor decreases nonlinearly.

The average power or power dissipated by the ideal inductor (no
associated resistance) is zero watts.
