When an alternating voltage is applied to purely resistive circuit what happens?
When an alternating voltage is applied to a purely resistive circuit, the resulting current is in phase with the voltage.
In a purely resistive ac circuit the current and voltage?
Voltage and current will be in phase for a purely resistive load. As a load becomes more inductive or capacitive, the phase angle between voltage and current will increase.
What is the Difference between resistive and capacitive load?
when a resistive load is applied there is no phase angle difference between voltage and current. when a inductive load is applied there is phase difference between voltage and current. current lags voltage by an angle of 90 degrees for pure inductive load
When the frequency of an applied voltage is increased the capacitive reactance of a circuit will?
Since capacitive reactance is inversely-proportional to the supply frequency, as the frequency is increased, the reactance will decrease.
What is AC voltage terminology - in phase - mean?
If the current rises and falls with the voltage, then the two are said to be 'in phase'; this occurs in a purely-resistive circuit. For inductive or capacitive circuits, the current either lags or leads the voltage.
What is Pure Resistive?
A purely resistive load is one in which there is no capacitive or inductive reactance. Whe driven by an AC voltage source, such a load will have no shift in phase angle between voltage and current.
What is a capacitive reactive circuit?
A circuit that has only a capacitor in it. Or the net reactance is below zero, making it capacitive. The current leads the voltage in a negative (capacitive) reactive circuit.
Voltage current relation in passive circuit?
in passive circuit it depends on the type of load 1. if the load is purely resistive the voltage and current will be in phase 2.if the load is purely inductive the current lags the voltage by 90 dgree 3.if the load is purely capacitive the currents leads the voltage by 90 degree
In a capacitive AC circuit the current is?
leading the voltage.
In RC circuits the voltage leads the current?
Inductive. Used to remember this by "Eli" the "ice" man. "(e) Voltage (l) (Inductive circuit) (i) current", the ,"(i) Current (c) (capacitive circuit) (e) voltage, man.
How many degrees are the current and voltage out of phase in a pure capacitive circuit?
In a pure (ideal) capacitive circuit, current leads voltage by 90 degrees.
What is the phase angle between voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit?
The phase angle between voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit is zero. Voltage and current are in phase with each other.
