21-1: Sine-Wave i L Lags v L by 90° Fig When sine-wave variations of current produce an induced voltage, the current lags its induced voltage by exactly 90°, as shown in Fig The phasors in Fig (c) show the 90° phase angle between i L and v L. The 90° phase relationship between i L and v L is true in any sine- wave ac circuit, whether L is in series or parallel.
21-1: Sine-Wave i L Lags v L by 90° The phase angle of an inductive circuit is 90° because v L depends on the rate of change of i L. The i L wave does not have its positive peak until 90° after the v L wave. Therefore, i L lags v L by 90°. Although i L lags v L by 90°, both waves have the same frequency.
21-2: X L and R in Series 21-2: X L and R in Series When a coil has series resistance, the current is limited by both X L and R. This current I is the same in X L and R, since they are in series. Each has its own series voltage drop, equal to IR for the resistance and IX l for the reactance.

Fig. 21-3: Instead of combining waveforms that are out of phase, they can be added more quickly by using their equivalent phasors, as shown in Fig (a). These phasors show only the 90° angle without addition. The method in Fig (b) is to add the tail of one phasor to the arrowhead of the other, using the angle required to show their relative phase.

Fig. 21-4: A triangle of R and X L in series, as shown in Fig. 21-4, corresponds to a voltage triangle. The resultant of the phasor addition of R and X L is their total opposition in ohms, called impedance, with the symbol Z T. The Z takes into account the 90° phase relation between R and X L.

21-4: X L and R in Parallel In a parallel circuit with L and R: The parallel branch currents I R and I L have individual values that are 90° out of phase. I R and I L are added by phasors to equal I T, which is the main-line current. The negative phase angle −Θ is between the line current I T and the common parallel voltage V A. Less parallel X L allows more I L to make the circuit more inductive, with a larger negative phase angle for I T with respect to V A.
21-5: Q of a Coil The ability of a coil to produce self-induced voltage is indicated by X L, since it includes the factors of frequency and inductance. A coil, however, has internal resistance equal to the resistance of the wire in the coil. This internal resistance r i of the coil reduces the current, which means less ability to produce induced voltage. Combining these two factors of X L and r i, the quality or merit of a coil is, Q = X L /r i.
21-5: Q of a Coil Figure Fig shows a coil’s inductive reactance X L and its internal resistance r i. The quality or merit of a coil as shown in Fig is determined as follows: Q = X L /r i Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Fig. 21-7:
21-6: AF and RF Chokes Fig In Fig. 21-9, X L is much greater than R for the frequency of the ac source V T. L has practically all the voltage drop with very little of V T across R. The inductance here is used as a choke to prevent the ac signal from developing any appreciable output across R at the frequency of the source.
21-7: The General Case of Inductive Voltage The voltage across any inductance in any circuit is always equal to L(di/dt). This formula gives the instantaneous values of v L based on the self-induced voltage produced by a change in magnetic flux from a change in current. A sine waveform of current I produces a cosine waveform for the induced voltage v L, equal to L(di/dt). This means v L has the same waveform as I, but v L and I are 90° out of phase for sine-wave variations. The inductive voltage can be calculated as IX L in sine- wave circuits.
