Chapter 17, Problem 1RQ

What is the relationship of voltage and current (concerning phase angle) in a pure resistive circuit?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The phase relationship of voltage and current in a pure resistive circuit.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

Zero degrees

Explanation of Solution

When an AC voltage is applied to a resistor, the current rises and falls at the same rate as the voltage. The polarities are also maintained when the directions are reversed. Hence the voltage and current in a resistor are said to be in phase. The degrees by which current and voltage are out of phase with each other is said to be zero degrees in this case.
