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.
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.
Compare the phase relationship between the voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit and an RL circuit?
In a pure resistive circuit the voltage and current are in phase. In an inductive circuit they are fro zero to 180 degrees out of phase. If they are in phase the Power Factor is 1 and 180 degrees the PF is zero. The exact amount of the phase difference depends on the specific circuit.
When an alternating voltage is applied to a purely resistive circuit the A voltage lags the current B the voltage leads the current Ccurrent leads the voltage Dcurrent is in phase with the voltage?
'A' and 'C' are saying exactly the same thing. The correct choice is 'D'. The complex impedance of a purely resistive circuit is purely real. Since there is no reactance, there is no phase shift, so the power factor is ' 1 ', KVA = KW, KVAR = 0, etc.
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

How can you make an electric current stronger?
An electric current through a resistive circuit can be increased by decreasing the resistive load or increasing the voltage of the circuit.
Why voltage and current are in phase in a resistive circuit?
Because current and voltage are in proportion to each other, by Ohm's law.
Compare the phase relationship between the voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit and an RL circuit?
In a pure resistive circuit the voltage and current are in phase. In an inductive circuit they are fro zero to 180 degrees out of phase. If they are in phase the Power Factor is 1 and 180 degrees the PF is zero. The exact amount of the phase difference depends on the specific circuit.
What would current amperes do if the voltage were doubled in a circuit?
That depends on the components in the circuit: resistive, reactive, nonlinear, etc.
In a purely resistive AC circuit what have the voltage and current got in common?
both have to confront with resistance.
What is the applied voltage to a resistive capacitive circuit?
this is the amount of voltage a circuit can hold.
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.
What are the characteristic of series circuit?
In a series circuit the current remains constant at any point while the voltage drops across each resistive element.
If the voltage in a resistive is double the power will be?
In a resistive load circuit, the power = multiplication of voltage and Current. By increasing the voltage power will not be increased. Power is defined by the load as per its design. If the voltage is higher the load current will reduce. However running a load at double the rated voltage is not good for the device. Insulation may fail.
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
