47. 47 15.6 Summaries of Series AC Circuits For a series AC circuits with reactive elements: The total impedance will be frequency dependent. The impedance of any one element can be greater than the total impedance of the network. The inductive and capacitive reactances are always in direct opposition on an impedance diagram. Depending on the frequency applied, the same circuit can be either predominantly inductive or predominantly capacitive.

48. 48 15.6 Summaries of Series AC Circuits (continued…) At lower frequencies, the capacitive elements will usually have the most impact on the total impedance. At high frequencies, the inductive elements will usually have the most impact on the total impedance. The magnitude of the voltage across any one element can be greater than the applied voltage.

49. 49 15.6 Summaries of Series AC Circuits (continued…) The magnitude of the voltage across an element as compared to the other elements of the circuit is directly related to the magnitude of its impedance; that is, the larger the impedance of an element, the larger the magnitude of the voltage across the element. The voltages across an inductor or capacitor are always in direct opposition on a phasor diagram.

50. 50 15.6 Summaries of Series AC Circuits (continued…) The current is always in phase with the voltage across the resistive elements, lags the voltage across all the inductive elements by 90°, and leads the voltage across the capacitive elements by 90°. The larger the resistive element of a circuit compared to the net reactive impedance, the closer the power factor is to unity.
