Current in a purely inductive circuit lags the voltage by 90 degrees. The apparent power in such a circuit will be zero, because the power factor is zero, however, energy will still be transferred, and VARs (Volt-Amps-Reactive) will be non-zero.

What happens in series resonance?

The properties of a series alternating-current L-R-C circuit at resonance are:the only opposition to current flow is resistance of the circuitthe current flowing through the circuit is maximumthe voltage across the resistive component of the circuit is equal to the supply voltagethe individual voltages across the inductive and capacitive components of the circuit are equal, but act in the opposite sense to each otherthe voltage appearing across both the inductive and capacitive components of the circuit is zeroif the resistance is low, then the individual voltages appearing across the inductive and capacitive components of the circuit may be significantly higher than the supply voltage


What happens when an inductive coil is first connected across a dc supply?

Inductors tend to oppose a change in current, so the initial current is low, and rises according to the RC time constant of the circuit to a final value.

What happens when closing and breaking an inductive circuit?

When you close an inductive circuit, since an inductor resists a change in current, the initial reaction of the load is to look like a high resistance. As current builds, the resistance falls. With a theoretical source and inductor, current would eventually reach infinity, that is after infinite time, but practical sources and inductors will reach a plateau current. When you open an inductive circuit, again, since an inductor resists a change in current, the inductor attempts to maintain that current, but there is no conductivity for that current so, the inductor presents a high voltage spike in the reverse direction it was initially "charged" with. With a theoretical inductor, and theoretical infinite impedance, the voltage spike would be infinite. Again, practical inductors have a maximum voltage spike, but this spike can still be quite high, even thousands of volts, which can damage the circuit, so it is important to maintain a conduction path for the collapsing field, often a diode, or a resistor/capacitor filter.


What happens to the current in the series circuit?

current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit


When resistance is in a circuit what happens to the current?

When you add resistance to a circuit, current goes down. Ohm's Law: current = voltage divided by resistance.


What is voltage error circuit and current error circuit?

A voltage error circuit is called an error amplifier and happens when there are discrepancies between the voltage output and the reference voltage. A current error circuit happens when there is a disruption of flow in an ammeter.


What happens if the track of the current is broken in a series circuit?

If the track of the current is broken in a series circuit, the circuit will be interrupted and no current will flow. The components in the circuit will not receive any power and will not function until the circuit is repaired.
