A. C. Circuits Containing Resistance and Capacitance | Electrical Engineering

Let an a.c. circuit contain a resistance of R ohm in series with a capacitor of capacitance C farad. This circuit is shown in fig. 32(a). Let, I = r.m.s. value of current flowing though the circuit, VR = r.m.s. voltage across the resistance = IR is phase with I, VC = r.m.s. voltage across the capacitor = IXC lagging [...]
