Reactive power (Q) is the oscillating energy exchange in AC circuits due to inductors and capacitors, which does not contribute to real power (P). When the circuit is a DC circuit, we can quickly multiply volts by amps to get watts of power used. This is true to purely resistive AC circuits as well. But […]

Calculating Series RLC Circuits
In our earlier tutorials we have learned that Resistance, Inductance, and Capacitance, the three basic passive components, react differently to a sinusoidal alternating voltage in terms of phase. However, a series RLC circuit is formed by connecting passive elements, such as resistors, inductors, and capacitors, in series with a voltage supply. Voltage Waveforms in Pure […]
