True or False

Mark each of the statements below True or False.

1 .       Total current in an RC circuit always leads the source voltage. [Hint]

 
 


2 .       The resistor voltage is always out of phase with the current. [Hint]

 
 


3 .       The capacitor voltage always leads the current by 90°. [Hint]

 
 


4 .       In an RC circuit, the impedance is determined by both the resistance and the capacitive reactance combined. [Hint]

 
 


5 .       The circuit phase angle is the angle between the total current and the applied (source) voltage. [Hint]

 
 


6 .       The impedance of a series RC circuit varies directly with frequency. [Hint]

 
 


7 .       Apparent power is expressed in watts. [Hint]

 
 


8 .       The power factor (PF) indicates how much of the apparent power is true power. [Hint]

 
 


9 .       In a lag network, the output voltage lags the input voltage in phase. [Hint]

 
 


10 .       A filter passes all frequencies. [Hint]
