  • In this video I give a brief introduction into the concept of phasors and inductance, and how these concepts are used in place of waveforms.
    Note: At 2:28 I should have said "the more COUNTER-clockwise of the two is the leader".

    Aren't the diagrams the wrong way round for lagging and leading voltage?

    • @crclayton
      @crclayton  Před 6 lety +78

      Thanks for bringing that to my attention! The diagrams are the right way, but I did misspeak so that may have been unclear. At 2:28 I should have said "the more COUNTER-clockwise of the two is the leader". I've made a note in the annotations and pinned this comment.

  • @rodken314
    @rodken314 Před 7 lety +5

    Your waveforms (two sine waves) are around the wrong way in your explanation of lagging and leading. The words and phasors are ok. For example at 2:23 when V is at its peak, I is yet to get there, so voltage is leading (by convention time is positive to the right) which is not what you intended. Similarly at 2:38 the waveforms depict lagging voltage.

    • @jimhenderson2308
      @jimhenderson2308 Před 2 lety

      It’s helpful to think of passive electrical circuits in the context of the duality of nature.
      I. e. electricity and magnetism.
      The charged capacitor stores energy in the form of an electric field or E field.
      The current conducting inductor stores energy in the form of a magnetic field or B field.
      It’s important to realize their steady state behavior in circuits powered with DC power source as follows.
      Inductor behaves primarily as a short circuit.
      Capacitor behaves primarily as an open circuit.
      It’s when their AC behavior is observed and studied in the time domain that phasers are introduced for analysis purposes.

      I come from a math/physics background and have been diving into electrical engineering for a while. At first I absolutely hated the 'j' notation, but I've grown accustomed to it. Now I actually prefer it because I think more in terms of circuits, AC, and EE. It helps to keep a distinction and I only use 'i' for strictly mathematical things like fourier transforms and such.
