There you find a complete treatment of the RLC series circuit beginning from p. 121 (sorry in advance for my handwriting ;-)).
The formula for calculating amperage in an RLC circuit is I = V/Z, where I is the amperage, V is the voltage, and Z is the impedance.
The impedance in an RLC circuit can be calculated using the formula Z = √(R² + (Xl - Xc)²), where R is the resistance, Xl is the inductive reactance, and Xc is the capacitive reactance.
Amperage and current are often used interchangeably, but there is a slight difference. While current refers to the flow of electricity, amperage specifically refers to the strength or magnitude of that flow.
Inductance and capacitance both play a role in the impedance of an RLC circuit, which in turn affects the amperage. Inductors oppose changes in current and capacitance opposes changes in voltage, both of which can affect the flow of electricity in the circuit.
Yes, the amperage in an RLC circuit can be negative. This typically occurs when the voltage and current are out of phase, which can happen when there is a large amount of inductance or capacitance in the circuit.
