AC circuits consist of various components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and AC power sources (generators). Here are some key concepts and equations related to AC circuit analysis:
1. Sinusoidal Waveforms: AC voltage and current can be represented by sinusoidal waveforms. The most common representation is the sine wave, which is characterized by its amplitude, frequency, and phase.
2. Phasors: Phasors are complex numbers used to represent the magnitude and phase angle of AC quantities. They simplify calculations in AC circuits by converting sinusoidal functions into algebraic operations.
