Creator: Department of the Navy (Department of Defense)

Color: B&W

Sound: Optical sound

Description: Shows the elements of an AC series circuit. Demonstrates, by sine waves and circuits, the effects upon and phase relationships between current and voltage. Using an LACR circuit, examines the effects of voltage and shows what the generator sees when XC exceeds XC and when XC exceeds XL. Demonstrates also a series resonant circuit using a LCR circuit where XC and XL are equal.
