AI Thread Summary
In LR and RC circuits, the phase difference between voltage and current is influenced by the total impedance, which includes resistance and reactance. The ideal expectation of a 90-degree phase shift is affected by the presence of resistance in real inductors and capacitors, which introduces additional phase shifts. Real inductors have associated resistance and stray capacitance that alter the phase difference from the ideal 90 degrees. Similarly, capacitors also exhibit resistance and inductance that impact their phase relationship. Therefore, the observed phase differences in experiments may not align with theoretical predictions due to these real-world factors.

i hv done an experiment
but why the phase differencr between the voltage and current for both LR and RC circuits are not equal to 90?
moreover,how would a resisiance of a resistor affect the phase difference
between voltage and currentin capacitor?:cry:
at last,how would a resistor affect the phase difference between voltage and current in inductor?

The voltage and current in a capacitor or in an inductor are 90 degrees out of phase.
In an RC or LR circuit the voltage and current are out of phase by the angle of the total impedance Z = R + jX.

but from my result,it dosen't equal to degree of 90:cry:

There is no pure inductance or capacitance.
A real inductor is made of a wound wire, so it has a resistance associated and this causes the phase shift to be different from 90 degrees.
There is also a stray capacitance between turns of the coil, that contributes to alter the phase.
In a capacitor the phenomenon is less important, but it has also a resistance and an inductance associated.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
