Are resistors calculated differently in an AC circuit when compared to an equivalent DC one, why or why not?
Yes, because of impedance. AC circuits have both resistance and reactance.
What is the rule to remember when calculating the AC voltages in your final circuit outcome?
Use vector addition for both magnitude and direction.
Define phase as it refers to the timing of two AC signals.
Relative timing or position of two AC signals.
At what phase would two signals exactly cancel each other out?
180 degrees out of phase.
