Q: What is the phase difference between voltage and current in a purely resistive AC circuit?
Solution:
In a purely resistive AC circuit, the voltage and current are in phase, meaning the phase difference is 0 degrees.
Steps: 4
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a purely resistive AC circuit is. It means the circuit only has resistors and no capacitors or inductors.
Step 2: Know that in an AC circuit, voltage and current can be out of sync, which is called phase difference.
Step 3: In a purely resistive circuit, the voltage and current reach their maximum and minimum values at the same time.
Step 4: Since they are in sync, the phase difference between voltage and current is 0 degrees.
