Describe the phase relationship between current and voltage in an inductive AC circuit.

What will be an ideal response?


In a purely inductive circuit, the current lags behind the applied voltage by 90 degrees. Another way of stating this is that the applied voltage leads the current by 90 degrees in a pure inductive current. This can be represented by the acronym ELI. Voltage (E) leads current (I) in an inductive (L) circuit.

A RC circuit consists of a series connection of a 120-V source, a switch, a 34-M? resistor and a 15-?F capacitor. The circuit is used in estimating the speed of a horse running a 4 km racetrack. The switch closes when the horse begins and opens when the horse crosses the finish line. Assuming that the capacitor charges to 85.6 V, calculate the speed of the horse.
