CIVIL
This means that for C,
I leads V.
V leads I for L.
Since all the components
are in series, the same
current flows through
them all, as indicated
by the horizontal phasor.
Resistor voltage and
current are in phase, so
resistor voltage is
shown also along this
phasor.
Inductor voltage leads
the current by 90
degrees.
Capacitor voltage lags
the current by 90
degrees.
TO FIND THE RESULTING
VOLTAGE
Since the voltages
across C and L are 180
degrees out of phase,
then the result of these
two is one subtracted
from the other.
Inductor voltage minus
capacitor voltage.
This result can be
combined with the
resistor voltage, by
using Pythagoras.
The final result is the
applied voltage across
the circuit.
