Basic AC Reactive Components:

Any device relying on magnetism or magnetic fields to operate is a form of inductor. A generators, Motors, transformers, and coils are inductors. A use of an inductor in a circuit could cause voltage and current to become out-of-phase and inefficient unless corrected.

DESCRIBE inductive reactance (XL).

Given the operation frequency (f) and the value of inductance (L), CALCULATE the inductive reactance (XL) of an easy circuit.

DESCRIBE the effect of the phase relationship among current and voltage within an inductive circuit.

DRAW a simple phasor diagram representing AC current (I) and voltage (E) in an inductive circuit.
