phasor diagrams: what happens @ R=0?
when R=0 and there is only the inductive impedance, what's the angle?

... have you tried looking it up?iScience said:when R=0 and there is only the inductive impedance, what's the angle?
Inductors shift current in an electrical circuit due to their ability to store and release energy in the form of a magnetic field. When a current flows through an inductor, it creates a magnetic field around the inductor. This magnetic field then reacts with the flow of current, causing a shift in the current.
An inductor stores energy by creating a magnetic field when a current flows through it. This magnetic field stores energy in the form of potential energy, which can be released back into the circuit when the current changes or stops flowing.
The amount of current shifted by an inductor remains the same due to the principle of conservation of energy. The energy stored in the inductor's magnetic field must be conserved, so when the current changes, the amount of energy released from the magnetic field will be the same as the amount stored, resulting in the same amount of current being shifted.
The amount of current shifted by an inductor is affected by the inductance of the inductor, the rate at which the current changes, and the resistance of the circuit. A higher inductance value, faster rate of current change, and lower resistance will result in a larger amount of current being shifted.
Yes, inductors can shift current in both AC and DC circuits. In AC circuits, the current is constantly changing, which causes the inductor to continuously release and store energy. In DC circuits, the current may not change, but the inductor can still store energy in its magnetic field, causing a shift in the current when the circuit is turned on or off.
