AC Voltages and Phasors Resistors, Inductors and Capacitors in
AC Circuits RLC Circuits Power and Resonance Transformers
AC sources have voltages and currents that vary sinusoidally.
The current in a circuit driven by an AC source also oscillates at the same frequency.
The standard AC frequency in the US is 60 Hz (337 rad/s).

Consider a sinusoidal voltage source: )sin()( max tVtv
This source can be represented graphically as a vector called a phasor:

For a sinusoidal voltage,
the current in the inductor
always lags the voltage
across it by 90°.
