Current Driven AC Circuit

I(t)
= Current as function of time. SI: A = Amps
Imax
= Maximum value of the current. SI: A
q
= Phasor angle. The fraction of the period of oscillation (measured in radians) that corresponds to the location on the sine curve at time t. SI: rad
w
=
=
Angular frequency of the oscillations. SI rad/sec
2p f
f
= Frequency of oscillation. The number of times per second that the current goes through one complete cycle. SI: Hz = Hertz = cycles/sec
T
=
=
Period of time for the current to go through one complete cycle. SI: sec
1/f
