Impedance of a Capacitor Resistor Circuit

Z = √(XC2 + R2)

θ = tan-1(-XC/R) = tan-1(-VC/VR)

The Capacitor Reactance is 90° behind the Resistance

The Capacitor Voltage is 90° behind the Resistor Voltage

Impedance of a Inductor Resistor Circuit

Z = √(XL2 + R2)

θ = tan-1(XL/R) = tan-1(VL/VR)

The Inductor Reactance is 90° ahead of the Resistance

The Inductor Voltage is 90° ahead of the Resistor Voltage

Impedance of a RCL Circuit

Z = √((XL - XC)2+ R2)

θ = tan-1((XL - XC)/R) = tan-1((VL - VC)/VR)

Internal Resistance of a Battery

Batteries can be thought of as having an ideal voltage supply E.M.F. (Electromotive Force) in series with an internal resistance

V = 𝛆 - Ir

battery

Kichhoff's Laws

Kirchhoff’s Current Law
“At any junction in a circuit, the total current entering the junction equals the total current leaving the junction”
Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law
“Around any closed path of a circuit, the total of all the potential differences, V, is zero”
