What is the relationship between voltage and impedance in electrical circuits?

AI Thread Summary
The relationship between voltage and impedance in electrical circuits involves a phase difference between the source voltage and the impedance of each component. The angle in the equations arises from the division of the phasor voltage by the impedance, which introduces a phase shift. For inductors, the impedance is represented as (jωL), leading to a phase shift of -90° when dividing by j. This phase shift is derived from the complex exponential form of j, indicating a rotation in the phasor representation. Understanding these phase relationships is crucial for analyzing circuit behavior accurately.

i know that there is a phase difference between the current and its voltage for each
component
but here its between the voltage of the source and the impidance of each components

how did they get the angle in each equation?

in each equation we have Vm divided by some number
and the resolt is Vm and angle

how they get the coefficient of Vm
?

For the inductor, you know that the impedance is (jωL), and in this case, ωL = (5 ⨉ 103 rad/s )(0.2 ⨉ 10-3 H) = 1 Ω.

We're assuming a magnitude Vm for the (phasor) voltage, and taking its phase to be zero. Therefore, since the (phasor) current is given by the (phasor) voltage divided by the impedance:
IL = (Vm∠0) /(jωL) = (Vm) / (j)​

Now, dividing by j is the same as multiplying by -j. Multplying by -j is the same as introducing a phase shift of -90°. To see this explicitly, you can write j in complex exponential form (if you are familiar with it):

-j = e-j(π/2)


The phase angles of the other currents are determined in a similar way, by noting that current = voltage / impedance, and taking careful account of the phases of these two quantities.
 
thanks :)
