In topic, series resistor capacitor circuits, below the resistor capacitor circuit diagram the label in italic says series capacitor inductor circuit:voltage lags current by 0 to 90. I think label should be series resistor capacitor circuit: voltage lags current by 0 to 90.

I am learning so much from this site, really very appreciative of your work.

Thank you

Verified. Nice catch, took me a few minutes to catch on to what you were saying.

Currently reads...

In the last section, we learned what would happen in simple resistor-only and capacitor-only AC circuits. Now we will combine the two components together in series form and investigate the effects. (Figure below)

Series capacitor inductor circuit: voltage lags current by 0o to 90o.



Should read...

Series resistor-capacitor circuit: voltage lags current by 0o to 90o.

 

Agreed. Its amazing how many times Ive read through that and completely missed the error.

Thanks Bobby, You might want to consider signing up and become part of the community.

Come get and give some learnin'

 

I have made the correction in the master copy at ibiblio.org

Thanks for pointing out the error.
