RCL Phase Relationships





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)

Transformers


The ratio of the secondary to primary voltage is equal to the ratio of the secondary to primary turns

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np

In an Ideal Transforme
Secondary Power = Primary Power
In reality, energy is lost through heat from eddy currents generated in the soft iron core from the changing flux.

NB: As Voltage is often referred to as e.m.f. the Symbol "e" or "E" is often used in engineering to refer to e.m.f.
This is the case in the video below.
After explaining how basic Transformers work, this video goes on to explain 3-Phase Transformers.
