Capacitance
(F)
o As increase, the capacitor gets more
charge.
o If is constant, the across the inductor is
zero.
9.1 – AC Supply
o AC supply are produced from an AC
generator.
o The wave form produced is a sine wave
An AC generator
uses the principal

electromagnetic
induction to
convert a
mechanical energy
such as rotation,
into electrical
energy
