Hello,
I am trying to better understand AC sine waves. What does "out of phase" mean? I am confused when I hear phrases like "60 degrees, or 180 degrees out of phase." Does it matter if something is "out of phase?" What are the advantages of "out of phase" as opposed to "in phase?" I have very little knowledge in this area and I'm trying to better myself. I am not expecting any lengthy responses. If there are helpful links you could direct me to that would be appreciated. Thanks again!
