SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between induced voltage and current lag in AC circuits, specifically when the current lags the voltage by less than 90 degrees. It is established that when current lags voltage by less than 90 degrees, the induced voltage will also shift less than 180 degrees relative to the applied voltage. The induced voltage is always 180 degrees out of phase with the applied voltage when the current is exactly 90 degrees lagging. The conversation highlights the need for visual representations to better understand these phase relationships.

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?
