This simulation shows the voltages across the components in a series RLC circuit driven by an AC source of 1 kHz frequency. The circuit includes a resistor (R = 100 Ω), an inductor (L = 10 mH), and a capacitor (C = 1 µF) connected in series. The graph at the top displays the instantaneous voltages across R, L, and C along with the supply voltage. The resistor voltage (green) is in phase with the current, the inductor voltage (red) leads the current by 90°, and the capacitor voltage (yellow) lags

This simulation shows the voltages across the resistor, inductor, and capacitor in a series RLC circuit driven by a 1 kHz AC source. The top graph displays the individual voltage waveforms, each with different amplitude and phase. The resistor voltage stays in phase with the current, while the inductor voltage leads the current and the capacitor voltage lags. Because the inductor and capacitor are reactive elements, their voltages can reach higher peaks even when the supply voltage is lower. The
