In any ac circuit, is the applied Instantaneous voltage equal to the algebraic sum of the instantaneous voltages across the series elements of the circuit ? Is the same true for rms voltage ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes. The same is not true for rms voltage, because voltages across different elements may not be in phase. See, for example, answer to Exercise.
