About this simulation

Sinusoidal AC circuits use the source complex impedance model. Phasors and waveforms are calculated for idealized components; compare the single-component, RLC, resonance and power experiments.

What students can explore

  • Explore phase relationships in an alternating-current circuit.

Learning objectives
