🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between voltage and current phase in AC circuits • Behavior of inductors vs capacitors with changing frequency • Mnemonic for phase: "ELI the ICE man" (common in electrical theory)

💭 Think About

• For each type of circuit (resistive, inductive, capacitive), ask yourself: does voltage and current rise and fall together, or does one reach its peak before the other? • Think about what an inductor does when current changes suddenly, and what a capacitor does when voltage changes suddenly. • Which component is known for storing energy in an electric field, and which in a magnetic field—and how does that affect which quantity (voltage or current) responds first?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the phrase "voltage leads current"—this means the voltage waveform reaches its peak before the current waveform. • Recall that in a purely resistive circuit, voltage and current are in phase (they peak at the same time). • Verify which element (inductor or capacitor) is associated with the mnemonic where E (voltage) leads I (current).
