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?
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
