Introduction:

AC circuits are those electrical circuits in which the direction of current flow reverses periodically. However, inductors capacitors, and resistors all respond differently, more or less slowly, to voltage changes, and so phase delays arise. The current is no longer in phase with the voltage. There are several interesting consequences of this which we shall explore in this laboratory.
