Abstract

If the current in a resistor varies sinusoidally, as shown in Figure 34-1, the potential difference across the terminals of the resistor will also vary sinusoidally in the same manner, in phase with the current, in accordance with Ohm's law. Writing i for the instantaneous value of the current and v for the instantaneous value of the potential difference, we have v = iR.
