8-4 AC Circuits?

(5) A series LCR circuit consists of an inductor of inductance L and resistance r, a capacitor C, a resistor R, and a generator of voltage V. Mark as true or false the following statements concerning the relative phase of V, VL, Vr, VC, and VR.

Vr and VR are in phase.

VL - VC is in phase with Vr.

V is at an angle φ relative to VR.

VC lags VR by 90°.

VL leads VC by 90°

    True

    false

    true (VR is not in phase with V)

    true

    false (VL leads VC by (90` + arctan XL/r) which is considerably greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. Neither the Voltage VL nor Vr can be measured individually. The Voltage across the terminals of L includes VL and Vr.

    Vr and VR are in phase. TRUE Vr and VR are in phase with the current.

    VL - VC is in phase with Vr. FALSE (VL - VC) either leads or lags VR depending on whether the ckt is inductive or capacitive

    V is at an angle φ relative to VR. TRUE if φ is the angle between V and I

    VC lags VR by 90°. TRUE because VC lags Ic by 90 and VR is in phase with Ic = I = IL in a LCR ckt.

    VL leads VC by 90°FALSE VL leads VR by 90 and VR leads VC by 90 so VL leads VC by 180°
