summary of Resistive AC Circuits

summary

● A basic AC resistive circuit consists of a voltage source, conductors, and a resistive load.

● The current is in phase with the applied voltage in a resistive circuit.

● The effective value of AC current or voltage pro- duces the same results as the equivalent DC voltage

● The effective values are the most widely used measurement values.

● Ohm’s law can be used with all effective values.

● AC voltage or current values are assumed to be the effective values if not otherwise specified.
