Does anybody know what the expression CIVIL means when dealing with reactance, capacitors etc?

Thanks

It probably means the same thing as "ELI the ICE man". For an inductor (L) the voltage (E or V) leads the current (I) while for a capacitor (C) the current leads the voltage. This refers to the phase relationships between the two quatities in the different circuit elements.
