Question

why does the voltage drop across an inductor or capacitor exceed the applied voltage?

Open in App

Solution

No, voltage drop across capacitor or inductor may exceed then applied voltage because its depends on frequency of source. $V_{L} = I X_{L} = I ω L$ But resultant voltage drop is equal to applied voltage.
