3. Steady State Analysis of AC Circuits

CHAPTER OBJECTIVES

After carefully studying this chapter, you should be able to do the following:

➢Establish the phase relationship between voltage and current in a purely resistive, purely inductive, and purely capacitive circuits.

➢Explain the concept of active and reactive powers.

➢Make steady state analysis of R-L series circuits and R-C series circuits.

➢Make steady state analysis of R-L-C series circuits and establish phasor relationship between voltage drops and current.

➢Use phasor algebra in solving AC circuit problems.

➢Make steady state analysis of AC parallel circuits.

➢Solve numerical problems on AC series-parallel circuits.

An electric circuit may consist of resistance, inductance and capacitance ...
