In an AC. co-ordinate potentiometer, the currents in the phase and quadrature potentiometer are adjusted to be_____________?

Correct answer: A. out of phase by 90°

  • A. out of phase by 90°
  • B. out of phase by 60°
  • C. out of phase by 30°
  • D. out of phase by 0°
  • E. out of phase by 180°

Explanation

An AC coordinate potentiometer resolves voltage into in-phase and quadrature components, so its two potentiometer currents must differ in phase by 90°. These components represent the rectangular form of an AC phasor.
