This tutorial will showcase how inductance, capacitance and resistance affect alternating current. A circuit may have the alternating current through it and the voltage across it rising and failing ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

Engineers usually have access to signal and function generators, as well as frequency counters and oscilloscopes, but they may not have access to capacitance or inductance meters. Using the test setup ...
