### Description of the Electrical Circuit:

The image depicts a series AC circuit containing a resistor and an inductor. Below is a detailed explanation:

#### Circuit Components:

1. **Resistor (R1)**:
   - **Resistance**: 2 kΩ (kilo-ohms)
   - Symbolically represented by a zigzag line with the label "R1."

2. **Inductor (L1)**:
   - **Inductance**: 5 mH (milliHenries)
   - Represented by a series of loops or coils with the label "L1."

3. **AC Voltage Source**:
   - **Voltage**: 15 VAC (Volts, Alternating Current)
   - **Frequency**: 10 kHz (kilohertz)
   - Indicated by a sine wave symbol showing an AC source.

#### Explanation of the Circuit:

- The circuit is operating with an AC source providing a sinusoidal voltage of 15 volts at a frequency of 10 kHz.
- The resistor (R1) limits current flow and causes a voltage drop across it, while the inductor (L1) reacts to changes in current by inducing an opposing voltage.
- This setup demonstrates the interaction between resistive and inductive components in an AC circuit, essential for understanding concepts such as impedance and phase shift.

This visual and textual representation is useful for educational purposes, helping learners grasp fundamental principles of AC circuits.
