Experiment 14 :AC RL Circuit
Theory
The characteristic of AC resistance XL of inductor is that the phase of current and voltage has the difference of 90°. However, if R, DC resistance is included to the coil in series, its combined resistance(impedance) Z can be expressed as the formula below and the relationship between voltage and current follows Ohm’s law.
Fig.1-23 shows R-L serial circuit and the combined resistance(impedance) becomes Z = √R2+XL2. And if DC resistnace R exists at the circuit, the phase difference of voltage to current becomes as fig.(b), not 90°. If there is no AC resistance(reactance), the calculation of load power can be done as P=IE. However, in AC circuit, because of the phase angle of current-voltage, the case is different from the load having DC resistance only. The ratio of impedance Z and R is called power factor and is expressed as PF=R/Z=cosФ. Here, the power of R load is called defective power and that of Z is called apparent power, which can be expressed as below.
