Looking for problems with AC circuits

In summary, common problems with AC circuits include short circuits, open circuits, voltage drops, and faulty components. To troubleshoot these issues, a multimeter can be used to measure voltage and current and a visual inspection can be conducted for damaged or faulty components. AC circuit problems can be dangerous and proper safety precautions should always be followed. Loose connections, damaged components, overloading, and environmental factors can all contribute to AC circuit problems. The severity of the issue and one's knowledge and experience with AC circuits will determine if a professional should be consulted for repairs.

Hi!
I was wondering if there are any guides with problems and exercises relating AC circuits (capacitors and inductors), circuits with phasors and real, reactive, and apparent powers. I do not need the answers, I just need a selection of exercises to study from there.
