An AC power supply, V = V_o sin ωt, is connected in series to an inductor, capacitor, and resistor. The sum of the peak voltages across the inductor, capacitor, and resistor is A) always equal to V_o. B) always less than V_o. C) always greater than V_o. D) not possible to determine. E) none of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peak voltages across the inductor, capacitor, and resistor can be greater than V_o due to phase differences between the voltages across each component. The voltages do not add directly because they are not in phase.

An AC Power Supply, V = Vo Sin ωT, Is

An AC Power Supply, V = V_o Sin ωT, Is
