It focuses on circuits where current and voltage vary with time. Questions are mostly formula-based + concept-based, especially involving phase relationships, reactance, resonance, and power. 1. Alternating Current (AC) Alternating current is the current that changes magnitude and direction periodically. Equation: I=I0sin(ωt)I = I_0 \sin(\omega t)I=I0sin(ωt) Where: 2. Frequency and Angular Frequency Frequency (f): Angular Frequency: ω=2πf\omega = 2\pi fω=2πf 3. RMS Value (Root Mean Square) RMS value represents the effective value of AC.Irms=I02,Vrms=V02I_{rms} = \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}}, \quad V_{rms} = \frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}}Irms=2I0,Vrms=2V0 Importance: 4. Average Value of AC 5. Reactance Reactance is opposition offered by inductors and capacitors. Inductive Reactance: XL=ωLX_L = \omega LXL=ωL Capacitive Reactance: XC=1ωCX_C = \frac{1}{\omega C}XC=ωC1 6. Impedance (Z) Total opposition in AC circuit:Z=R2+(XL−XC)2Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L – X_C)^2}Z=R2+(XL−XC)2 Unit: 7. Phase Difference Resistor: Inductor: Capacitor: 8. Power in AC Circuit P=VIcosϕP = VI \cos\phiP=VIcosϕ Where: Power Factor: cosϕ\cos\phicosϕ 9. Power Factor Cases Circuit Power Factor Pure Resistor 1 Pure Inductor 0 Pure Capacitor 0 10. Resonance in RLC Circuit Condition: XL=XCX_L = X_CXL=XC Resonant Frequency: f=12πLCf = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}f=2πLC1 Key Points: 11. Energy Storage Inductor: U=12LI2U = \frac{1}{2}LI^2U=21LI2 Capacitor: U=12CV2U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2U=21CV2 12. AC Generator Working Principle: Function: 13. Transformer Principle: Voltage Ratio: VpVs=NpNs\frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{N_p}{N_s}VsVp=NsNp Core Material: 14.
