Problem

A series RLC circuit draws an rms current of 2 A2\,\text{A} from a 120 V120\,\text{V} (50 Hz) supply. The circuit elements have R=40 ΩR = 40\,\Omega, XL=60 ΩX_L = 60\,\Omega and XC=30 ΩX_C = 30\,\Omega. Calculate the phase angle between the supply voltage and the circuit current, correct to the nearest degree.
