12.2 Simple AC circuits Before examining the driven RLC circuit, let’s first consider the simple cases where only one circuit element (a resistor, an inductor or a capacitor) is connected to a sinusoidal voltage source. 12.2.1 Purely Resistive load Consider a purely resistive circuit with a resistor connected to an AC generator, as shown
