Circuit Analysis: Current Angle
Circuit Analysis: Current Angle
(OP)
In a circuit with multiple series capacitive and inductive reactances, does the phase angle of the current remain the same throughout the entire circuit? I understand that the angle of the voltage at two different buses will vary and determine the amount of real power transferred between the two. But, will the current waveform have any shift in phase angle if the waveforms at two different buses are compared?

If the circuit is just one 'loop' with everything in series, then, as David points out, with only two connections to each node, the current vectors (magnitude and direction/angle)are the same.

On capacitor current take 90 degree lead to voltage, on coil current will get 90 degree lag to voltage.
