Questions and Answers

What is the relationship between voltage and current in a purely ohmic circuit?

Voltage and current are in phase with each other. (correct)

Voltage leads current by 90 degrees.

Current leads voltage by 90 degrees.

Voltage and current are out of phase.

What is the maximum current 'I_m' in terms of the maximum voltage 'V_m' and resistance 'R'?

$I_m = V_m R$

$I_m = V_m + R$

$I_m = rac{V_m}{R}$ (correct)

$I_m = R V_m$

Study Notes

A.C. Through Pure Ohmic Resistance

The applied voltage is given by the equation: v = Vm sin ωt
Let R be the ohmic resistance, and i be the instantaneous current.
For equilibrium, the applied voltage must supply the ohmic voltage drop only, so v = iR
Substituting v into the equation, we get Vm sin ωt = iR. This gives us i = Vm sin ωt / R.
The current 'i' is maximum when sin ωt is unity. The maximum current (Im) is Vm / R.
Therefore, the current equation becomes i = Im sin ωt
Comparing the equations for voltage and current, we find voltage and current are in phase.
This is shown graphically in the figure. The voltage and current waveforms are directly aligned.
This is also illustrated vectorially in the figure, where the voltage vector (VR) and the current vector (I) are aligned (in phase).
