LEC. 07"Phase Shifts Explained: Voltage, Current, and Power in AC Capacitors"

Headline (First 2 Lines):
Master the concept of Phase Shifts in AC Circuits! In this lecture, we dive deep into how Voltage, Current, and Power behave in an AC Capacitor and why current leads voltage by 90 degrees.
​Summary:
Welcome to Lecture 07 of our AC Circuits series. In this video, we explain the fundamental behavior of capacitors when connected to an alternating current source. We cover everything from the mathematical derivation of instantaneous current to the concept of Capacitive Reactance (X_C) and why the average power consumption in a pure capacitor is zero.
​Key Topics Covered:
​Capacitor in AC Circuit: Basic symbol and sinusoidal voltage source [00:43].
​Charging & Discharging: How the capacitor reacts to positive and negative cycles [01:46].
​Phase Relationship: Mathematical proof of why Current leads Voltage by π/2 (90°) [07:46].
​Waveform Analysis: Visualizing the sine and cosine relationship between V and I [09:46].
​Capacitive Reactance (X_C): Defining resistance in AC and its inverse relationship with frequency [13:44].
​Power in Capacitors: Why instantaneous power fluctuates and average power equals zero [18:11].

Struggling to visualize how Capacitors behave in an AC Circuit? In this video, we break down the relationship between Alternating Current (AC), Voltage, and Power in a capacitor without the usual confusion.We dive deep into why current leads voltage by $90^\circ$ (the ICE rule), how capacitive reactance ($X_C$) controls the flow, and why the "average power" in a pure capacitor is actually zero. Whether you are prepping for an engineering exam or just curious about electronics, this guide makes the complex simple.
Have you ever wondered why a capacitor behaves so differently in an AC circuit compared to a DC circuit? If you've been staring at phasor diagrams and wondering why the current is "ahead" of the voltage, this video is for you.
