AI Thread Summary
When current lags voltage by less than 90 degrees, the relationship between induced voltage and applied voltage changes. The induced voltage is typically 180 degrees out of phase with the applied voltage, but if the current lags less than 90 degrees, the induced voltage may also shift, potentially becoming less than 180 degrees out of phase. The discussion highlights the need for visual representations to better understand these phase relationships. The impact of the current's phase on the induced voltage is crucial for analyzing power dynamics in AC circuits. Understanding these shifts is essential for grasping the overall behavior of electrical systems.

I see in my book how half the power is at one polarity and then 90' later it's at the opposite polarity. In regards to the relation of current vs. voltage. So the net result is zero power.
The picture shows how the induced voltage is 180' shifted from the applied voltage.

My question is, if the current lagged the voltage less than 90', where would the induced voltage be? Would it be shifted less than 180' as well?

Or is it just the placement of the current between the two that will show how the induced vs. applied voltage is affecting it? I can't find a picture that shows how this looks when current is lagging less than 90'.

Anyone have one or could draw one?

Induced voltage(Yellow) is 180' in opposite to applied(Red) voltage. Current(Blue) is 90' lagged in this picture.

If the current is less than 90' lagged, does the current's sine wave shift alone, or does the induced voltage wave shift as well?
Does the induced voltage wave ever become less than 180' opposite of the applied voltage?
 
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
