Two locations are said to be "in phase" when the waveform is "lined up" so there is no voltage difference between the two points.

They are out of phase if there is a voltage difference between them.

If you are looking at an oscillograph reading of both, if they are in phase the waveforms will be identical magnitude at the same time. If out of phase, one will be shifted relative to the other causing a voltage difference.

Are phase changes physical or chemical in nature?

Phase changes are physical changes in nature. They involve a change in the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) rather than a change in the chemical composition of the substance. Heating or cooling a substance can trigger phase changes.

When alternating current flows through an capacitor current leads voltage by a phase angle of 90 degrees what is the physical interpretation of this phenomenon?

One interpretation is that if you take a capacitor that is not charged, it needs to take some current before any voltage appears across it. Therefore the current must precede the voltage.

When a substance changes from one physical form to another, you say the substance has had a phase change or undergone a phase transition.


Is a phase change an example of a physical or chemical or nuclear or a covalent change?

A phase change is an example of a physical change, not a chemical, nuclear, or covalent change. During a phase change, the substance undergoes a change in state (solid, liquid, gas) without any change in its chemical composition.


What is the transformation of a physical state of a substance into a different physical state?

The transformation of a physical state of a substance into a different physical state is called a phase change. An example of this is water changing from solid (ice), to a liquid (water), to a gas (steam).
