It probably means the same thing as "ELI the ICE man". For an inductor (L) the voltage (E or V) leads the current (I) while for a capacitor (C) the current leads the voltage. This refers to the phase relationships between the two quatities in the different circuit elements.sbrowitt said:Does anybody know what the expression CIVIL means when dealing with reactance, capacitors etc?
