Problem
A 300Ω resistor, a 0.250H inductor, and an 8.00μF capacitor are in series with an AC source of voltage amplitude 120V and angular frequency 400rads−1.
(a) What is the current amplitude?
(b) What is the phase angle of the source voltage with respect to the current? Does the source voltage lag or lead the current?
(c) What are the voltage amplitudes across the resistor, inductor, and capacitor?
