CONCEPT: PHASORS A PHASOR is just a rotating vector, whose information lies in its X-COMPONENT. - Phasors make representing oscillating information, like voltage and current, easy:
EXAMPLE 1: For the following voltage phasor, is the voltage positive or negative?
Phasors obey all the same rules as vectors, such as addition, subtraction, etc. - To find the magnitude of a phasor, you can sum its components using the Pythagorean theorem, as with vectors.

CONCEPT: RESISTORS IN AC CIRCUITS Remember! In an AC circuit, the current produced by the AC source is
- 𝑖(𝑡) = 𝑖𝑀𝐴𝑋cos(𝜔𝑡) Ohm’s Law will give us the voltage across the resistor at any point in time:
- 𝑣𝑅(𝑡) = 𝑖(𝑡)𝑅
EXAMPLE: A 10 Ω resistor is plugged into an outlet with an RMS voltage of 120 V. What is the maximum current in the circuit? What about the RMS current? For MULTIPLE resistors in an AC circuit, you would just combine them into a single, equivalent resistor, as before.

CONCEPT: PHASORS FOR RESISTORS Remember! The voltage and current across a resistor at any time t is
- 𝑖(𝑡) = 𝑖𝑀𝐴𝑋cos(𝜔𝑡)
- 𝑣𝑅(𝑡) = 𝑖𝑀𝐴𝑋𝑅cos(𝜔𝑡)
Because both cosines have the same angle (𝜔𝑡), they are said to be IN PHASE.
- This is reflected in their phasors:
EXAMPLE: An AC source with an angular frequency of 20 s-1 is connected to a resistor with the circuit broken. 0.2 s after
the circuit is completed, draw the voltage phasor and the current phasor.

2)
Because both cosines have a DIFFERENT angle, they are said to be OUT OF PHASE – The voltage LAGS the current

This means, if current and voltage across the capacitor are plotted, the voltage of a capacitor LEADS the current by 90o:
The MAXIMUM voltage across the inductor is 𝑉𝐿 = ________________
- This result looks A LOT like Ohm’s Law, if we have some resistance-like quantity 𝜔𝐿
We define the INDUCTIVE REACTANCE as EXAMPLE: An AC power source delivers a maximum voltage of 120 V at 60 Hz. If an unknown inductor is connected to this
source, and the maximum current in the circuit is found to be 5 A, what is the inductance of the inductor?

CONCEPT: IMPEDANCE IN AC CIRCUITS We know how to find the current in any AC circuit with ONE element
It’s just the maximum voltage divided by the ____________________
There are two types of circuits: series circuits and parallel circuits.
- Whenever an AC circuit has multiple elements in series, the __________________ phasors line up
- Whenever an AC circuit has multiple elements in parallel, the __________________ phasors line up
Consider an AC source connected in series to a resistor and a capacitor.
- In this case, the maximum voltage across the resistor and capacitor, 𝑉𝑅𝐶 , will NOT be equal to 𝑉𝑅 + 𝑉𝐶
- These maximum voltages, 𝑉𝑅 and 𝑉𝐶, occur at different times
- Instead, the maximum voltage 𝑉𝑅𝐶 will be the ______________________ of the voltage phasors
This leads us to 𝑉𝑅𝐶 = 𝐼𝑀𝐴𝑋√𝑅2 + 𝑋𝐶2 = 𝐼𝑀𝐴𝑋𝑍

CONCEPT: LRC CIRCUITS IN SERIES In a series LRC circuit, the __________________ through each element is the same
In a DC circuit, we would simply say that 𝑉𝐿𝑅𝐶 = 𝑉𝐿 + 𝑉𝑅 + 𝑉𝐶 , since they are all in series
- In an AC circuit, this isn’t true, since the maximum voltages occur at different times
The IMPEDANCE, 𝒁, acts like the effective reactance of the circuit.

CONCEPT: RESONANCE IN SERIES LRC CIRCUITS The impedance of an LRC circuit depends on the frequency of the AC source:
- The impedance is large at small 𝝎 and at large 𝝎 Recall that the impedance is 𝑍 = _________________________________
- The SMALLEST value of impedance, 𝑍 = 𝑅, occurs when 𝑋𝐶 = 𝑋𝐿
- When this occurs, the circuit is said to be in RESONANCE
Since resonance occurs when the impedance is SMALLEST, the current is LARGEST in resonance for series LRC EXAMPLE: An AC circuit is composed of a 10 Ω resistor, a 2 H inductor, and a 1.2 mF capacitor. If it is connected to a
power source that operates at a maximum voltage of 120 V, what frequency should it operate at to produce the largest
possible current in the circuit? What would the value of this current be?
In a series LRC circuit, the current is the same through the inductor and the capacitor
- In resonance, since 𝑋𝐿 = 𝑋𝐶 The voltage across the inductor and the capacitor is the same
