RL and RC Series Circuits

A resistance of 200 Ω200\ \Omega and an inductor of 12π H\frac{1}{2\pi}\text{ H} are connected in series to a.c. voltage of 40 V and 100 Hz frequency. The phase angle between the voltage and current is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. XL=2πfL=2π×100×12π=100 ΩX_L = 2\pi f L = 2\pi \times 100 \times \frac{1}{2\pi} = 100\ \Omega
  2. tan⁡ϕ=XLR=100200=0.5\tan\phi = \frac{X_L}{R} = \frac{100}{200} = 0.5
  3. So the answer is (d) tan⁡−1(0.5)\tan^{-1}(0.5).
