Average Current (Iave) Average current is defined as the average or mean
value of current in a half-cycle flows of current in a
certain direction.
Iave for one complete cycle is zero because the
current flows in one direction in one-half of the
cycle and in the opposite direction in the next half
of the cycle.

Phasor Diagram
Phasor is defined as a vector that rotates anticlockwise
about its axis with constant angular velocity.
A diagram containing phasor is called phasor diagram.
It is used to represent a sinusoidally varying quantity
such as alternating current (AC) and alternating voltage.
It also being used to determine the phase angle (is
defined as the phase difference between current and
voltage in AC circuit).

Resonance in AC circuit
Resonance is defined as the phenomenon that occurs when
the frequency of the applied voltage is equal to the
frequency of the LRC series circuit.
The graph shows that:
i. at low frequency, impedance Z
is large because 1/ωC is large.
ii. at high frequency, impedance Z
is high because ωL is large.
iii. at resonance frequency,
impedance Z is minimum (Z =
