Determination should include
- identifying the components of RC and RL circuits
- calculating total impedance
- stating the effect of frequency changes on current, voltage, and impedance
- describing why total impedance is capacitive or reactive
- identifying the uses of RLC circuits.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What is the phase shift across the resistor in an RLC circuit?
- What determines if an RLC circuit is capacitive or inductive?
- What are the circumstances in which total impedance is reactive in an RLC circuit?
