Formulas

2. AC Voltage and Current in a Resistor

v = v_m sin ωt

i = i_m sin ωt

i_m = v_m / R

I = i_m/√2 = 0.707 i_m

V = v_m/√2 = 0.707 v_m

3. Pure Inductor in AC

i = i_m sin(ωt - π/2)

X_L = ωL

i_m = v_m / X_L

Average power over a cycle = 0

4. Pure Capacitor in AC

i = i_m sin(ωt + π/2)

X_C = 1/ωC

i_m = v_m / X_C

Average power over a cycle = 0
