Do you expect angle in rlc series circuit to be a constant?

The phase shift angle of an RLC circuit is constant for a constant frequency, but changes with different frequencies.The phase angle of the AC in the RLC circuit is however continuously changing. Otherwise it wouldn't be AC.

A series RC circuit will have a phase shift between 0 and 90 degrees?

If there are only a resistor and a capacitor in the circuit, then the phase shift will indeed be between 0 and 90 degrees. When the resistor and capacitor are in series, the phase shift will be negative when the capacitor is connected to a source voltage and the resistor is the load. The phase shift will be positive when the resistor is connected to the source. The lower the values of R and C, the higher the frequency bandwidth.With the resistor and capacitor connected in series and the two parts connected to a current source, the phase shift will be negative. At high frequencies, the output voltages is lower, and the circuit appears as a very low impedance. At low frequencies, the circuit looks more like a resistor. Again, the phase shift will be between 0 and 90 degrees.CommentThe correct term is phase angle, not 'phase shift'. By definition, the phase angle is the angle by which the load current leads or lags the supply voltage. For an RC circuit, the current leads the voltage, so the phase angle is a leading phase angle.


Why pf maintaining for ac only not in DC?

Power Factor measures the phase shift between current and voltage waveform. Since DC has no frequency there can be no phase shift.


Why does a phase shift occur in a ce transistor?

In any transistor circuit , there is a phase shift. It takes a finite time for the controlling signal, usually on the base connection, to have an effect on the circuit and cause a change to the output. The shape of the signal remains but it is shifted in time (phase). The difference varies by configuration. It can be as much as180 degrees if the circuit is inverting the signal. The addition of passive components add to the shift.


What type of feedback is used in the phase shift oscillator circuit?

Positive feedback


Why capacitor is said to be a reactive component?

In electrical or electronic circuits, impedance can be said to have capacitive or inductive components. Capacitors cause capacitive impedance, and coils (chokes, transformers, loudspeakers, etc.) cause inductive impedance. A capacitor is said to be a reactive component in an AC circuit because it holds charge, then releases it, causing a phase shift in the output current. This phase shift in current equates to a phase shift between current and voltage. Reactive power is defined as a phase shift between current and voltage.


How can a tuned RC circuit improve the power factor of an inductive motor circuit?

The RC circuit can reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current in the power line. The phase shift is caused by the inductance of the motor. The phase shift between the voltage and current in the power line causes problems due to the presence of so called imaginary current or power that does no work but must be supplied by the power source.
