- explaining impedance and phase angle
- converting circuit diagrams into phase diagrams
- sketching diagrams of RL and RC series and parallel circuits and assigning values for
  - resistance
  - capacitance
  - inductance
  - frequency
  - applied voltage

- calculating
  - inductive reactance (XL)
  - capacitive reactance (XC)
  - impedance (Z)
  - voltage across resistor (ER)
  - voltage across inductor (EL)
  - voltage across capacitor (EC)

- drawing a phasor diagram for RL and RC circuits and calculating the time constant for both
- explaining power factor correction.
