Unit 18: Resistive-Inductive Series
Circuits
Pure Resistive Circuit - correct answer ✔Voltage and current are in phase
with each other
Pure Inductive Circuit - correct answer ✔Voltage and current are 90 degrees
out of phase with each other
R-L Series Circuit - correct answer ✔Voltage and current are out of phase by
some value between 0 and 90 degrees
Ratio of resistance to inductance - correct answer ✔How you determine the
amount voltage and current is out of phase with each other
Angle theta - correct answer ✔Measures the phase angle difference
between the applied voltage and total current
Cosine of theta equals - correct answer ✔Power factor
Power factor - correct answer ✔Ratio of true power to apparent power
wattless power/quadraturepower - correct answer ✔VARs/ when voltage and
current have opposite signs, power is being returned to the circuit
In ______ total impedance is additive - correct answer ✔series
