What Happens to Induced Voltage When Current Lags Less Than 90 Degrees?

In summary, the conversation discusses how in an electrical circuit, the induced voltage is 180 degrees shifted from the applied voltage and the current is 90 degrees lagged. The net result of this is zero power. The question is raised about what would happen if the current lagged less than 90 degrees and where the induced voltage would be positioned. It is also asked if there is a picture or visual representation that shows this scenario. The conversation concludes with a question about whether the induced voltage wave can ever be less than 180 degrees opposite of the applied voltage.

I see in my book how half the power is at one polarity and then 90' later it's at the opposite polarity. In regards to the relation of current vs. voltage. So the net result is zero power.
The picture shows how the induced voltage is 180' shifted from the applied voltage.

My question is, if the current lagged the voltage less than 90', where would the induced voltage be? Would it be shifted less than 180' as well?

Or is it just the placement of the current between the two that will show how the induced vs. applied voltage is affecting it? I can't find a picture that shows how this looks when current is lagging less than 90'.

Anyone have one or could draw one?

Induced voltage(Yellow) is 180' in opposite to applied(Red) voltage. Current(Blue) is 90' lagged in this picture.

If the current is less than 90' lagged, does the current's sine wave shift alone, or does the induced voltage wave shift as well?
Does the induced voltage wave ever become less than 180' opposite of the applied voltage?
 

FAQ: What Happens to Induced Voltage When Current Lags Less Than 90 Degrees?

What does it mean when an angle is less than 90 degrees?

When an angle is less than 90 degrees, it means that the angle is acute and measures less than a right angle. In other words, the angle is less than one-fourth of a full rotation or less than a quarter of a circle.

How do you measure an angle that is less than 90 degrees?

An angle that is less than 90 degrees can be measured using a protractor. The protractor is placed at the vertex of the angle, and the baseline of the protractor is aligned with one side of the angle. The number where the other side of the angle intersects with the protractor is the measure of the angle in degrees.

What is the difference between an acute angle and an obtuse angle?

An acute angle is an angle that measures less than 90 degrees, while an obtuse angle is an angle that measures more than 90 degrees. In other words, an acute angle is smaller than a right angle, while an obtuse angle is larger than a right angle.

Can an angle be negative if it is less than 90 degrees?

No, an angle cannot be negative if it is less than 90 degrees. Angles are always measured in a counterclockwise direction, and a negative angle would indicate a clockwise rotation. However, an angle can have a negative measure if it is greater than 90 degrees and is measured in a clockwise direction.

How are angles less than 90 degrees used in real life?

Angles less than 90 degrees are used in many real-life applications, such as measuring the slope of a roof, determining the angle of elevation or depression, or calculating the angle of a turn while driving. They are also used in geometry and trigonometry to solve various problems and equations.
