🔍 Key Concepts

• AC circuits with mixed loads (resistance + inductance) • How purely resistive and purely inductive circuits each affect phase between current and voltage • Remembering which one makes current lead or lag

💭 Think About

• First, recall the phase relationship in a purely resistive AC circuit: how are current and voltage aligned? • Next, recall what happens in a purely inductive circuit: does current lead or lag voltage? • Now, if a circuit has both resistance and inductance, would you expect the behavior to be exactly like a pure resistor, exactly like a pure inductor, or somewhere in between?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which component (inductor or resistor) is responsible for any phase shift. • Verify whether a purely resistive circuit can cause current to lead or lag (or neither). • Ask yourself if adding resistance to an inductive circuit can completely cancel the inductive phase effect or only reduce it.

Current and voltage will be in phase.

Current will lead the voltage.

Current will lag the voltage.

Any of the above could be true.
