IMPEDANCE )

OBJECTIVES Explain the relationship between AC voltage and AC

current in a resistor, capacitor and inductor. Explain why a capacitor causes a phase shift between

current and voltage (ICE). Define capacitive reactance. Explain the relationship

between capacitive reactance and frequency. Explain why an inductor causes a phase shift between

the voltage and current (ELI). Define inductive reactance. Explain the relationship

between inductive reactance and frequency. Explain the effects of extremely high and low

frequencies on capacitors and inductors.

AC RESISTOR

AC V AND I IN A RESISTORAC V AND I IN A RESISTOROhm’s Law still applies even though the

voltage source is AC.The current is equal to the AC voltage

across the resistor divided by the resistor value.

Note: There is no phase shift between V and I in a resistor.

CAPACITIVE REACTANCE

In resistor, the Ohm’s Law is V=IR, where R is the opposition to current.

We will define Capacitive Reactance, XC, as the opposition to current in a capacitor.

VOLTAGE ACROSS AN INDUCTORVOLTAGE ACROSS AN INDUCTOR

Current must be changing in order to create the magnetic field and induce a changing voltage.

The Phase relationship between VL and IL (thus the reactance) is established by looking at the current through vs the voltage across the inductor.

TOTAL IMPEDANCE FOR AC CIRCUITS

To compute total circuit impedance in AC circuits, use the same techniques as in DC. The only difference is that instead of using resistors, you now have to use complex impedance, Z.
