I'll have a play with phase again later, as site was down yesterday I was reading up on AC, correct my understanding where it is wrong please
In DC you set the voltage on battery for sim, that's it.
In AC, Ampitude (p-p) is the voltage, so there's no direct voltage setting like DC, Ampitude/frequecy & phase all come under the wave setting.
We can add DC to lift or lower the AC signal called bias dependant on -/+
We can convert an AC signal into a DC signal with a full wave rectifier
Hers what I found interesting with AC, because it moves both directions in travel, hence we get a - side & a + side, only the + is real power, the - side is energy that returns that cannot be used by load but has to be accounted for in circuits as it is present, so the negative side can be used for the mag in inductors while the + side is running on the coil as real power, but the - side is being used to delay it (phase-duty of wave cycle) I take it without reading back that was for voltage?
A similar story for caps but with current, so the - side is where we are getting all this heat from.
Hopefully you can help my clean up my understanding, but I'm a bit further forwards, more importantly I think I now understand how inductors/capicitors work, that's two components down, still need to understand how transistors work but I feel goooooood
Morning to you both when you get up
