  Where: XL = inductive reactance of the circuit in ohms I = E XL I = 2 amperes In AC series circuits, inductive reactances are added like resistances in series in a DC circuit. [Figure 12-131] Thus, the total reactance ... lamps and heating elements. In order to use effective values of voltage and current in AC circuits, the effect of inductance and capacitance with resistance must be considered. The combined effects of resistance, inductive reactance, and capacitive reactance make…

  relationship of voltage and current is given by Ohm’s Law: I = E/R. Similarly, when there is inductance in an AC circuit, the relationship between voltage and current can be expressed as: Current = or I = Voltage E Reactance XL Where ... inductive reactance of the circuit in ohms…

  phase shift created by inductive reactance always causes voltage to lead current. That is, the voltage of an inductive circuit reaches its peak values before the current reaches peak values. Additional discussions related to phase shift are presented later ... frequency of 60 cycles per second. Inductive reactance is determined by the following method. In AC series circuits, inductive reactance is added like resistances in series in a DC circuit. [Figure 9-19] The total reactance in the illustrated circuit…
