AC Parallel Circuits : Introduction , Parallel circuit with resistive load , Parallel circuit with branches containing R and XL, Parallel circuit with branches containing R and XC and Parallel circuit with branches containing R and Zcoil.
AC Parallel Circuits INTRODUCTION There are more applications in alternating-current work for parallel circuits than for series circuits. Nearly all commercial, industrial, and residential power circuits are connected in parallel. The voltage across any branch circuit in a parallel arrangement is the same as the line voltage. This is true if the voltage drop in […]

Series Circuits: Resistance, Inductive Reactance,and Capacitive Reactance : Resonance in series circuits and The properties of series resonance.
RESONANCE IN SERIES CIRCUITS In the solution to problem 1 in this unit, the inductive reactance was greater than the capacitive reactance. As a result, there was a lagging power factor. In problem 2, the capacitive reactance is larger than the inductive reactance and the power factor is leading. If the inductive reactance equals the […]
