Objectives: After completing this
module, you should be able to:
• Describe the sinusoidal variation in ac
current and voltage, and calculate their
effective values.
• Write and apply equations for calculating
the inductive and capacitive reactances for
inductors and capacitors in an ac circuit.
• Describe, with diagrams and equations, the
phase relationships for circuits containing
resistance, capacitance, and inductance.
Objectives (Cont.)
• Write and apply equations for calculating the
impedance, the phase angle, the effective
current, the average power, and the resonant
frequency for a series ac circuit.
• Describe the basic operation of a step-
up and a step-down transformer.
