Fundamentals of AC circuits
After completing this chapter, you should be able to: understand the difference between DC and AC; understand the definitions of AC phase shift, period, frequency, peak to peak, peak, RMS values, phasor, etc.; understand the relationship of period and frequency; understand and define three important components of sinusoidal waveform; define the phase difference between sinusoidal voltage and current; convert sinusoidal time-domain quantities to phasor-domain forms, and vice versa; analyse the sinusoidal AC circuits using phasors; and study the effect of resistive, inductive, and capacitive elements in AC circuits.
