Alternating Current

This document appears to be a practice test for a 2nd year physics course on alternating current (AC) circuits. It contains 14 multiple choice questions testing concepts like impedance, resonance, peak vs rms values, and units. It also includes short answer questions defining phase, calculating power in AC circuits using formulas, and explaining 3-phase AC supply. The last section requires longer descriptions of inductive reactance and power dissipation, series resonance circuits, and calculating reactance and current for a given capacitor and AC voltage/frequency.
