1. Inductance and capacitance have opposite effects in an ac circuit.
2. The voltage component across the inductor (VL) is rotated counterclockwise so that it leads the current (I) by 90°.
3. Impedance is the result of the combination of resistance and inductance.
4. The magnitude of VL - VC is found by means of the vector multiplication rule of placing vectors head to tail.
5. At frequencies below resonance, the equation PF = R/Z shows the power factor to be inversely proportional to impedance.
