CHAPTER 9

imageRL Circuit Analysis

In Chapter 8, you were introduced to a new circuit element, the inductor. In this chapter, the methods of analysis of series and parallel circuits containing resistors and inductors will be discussed.

At the end of this chapter you should be able to:

1. Determine the value of the inductive reactance, total impedance, total current, the component currents and voltages; real, reactive, and apparent power; and phase angle for series and parallel RL circuits with various values of R, L, applied voltage, and frequency specified.

2. Draw the impedance, voltage, current, and power phasor diagrams to show the phase relationships ...
