Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A series circuit has , H and . It is connected to the V (rms), Hz mains. Find the two reactances, the impedance, the rms current and the phase angle.
In a series circuit the same current flows in every part. The reactances are and , with . The impedance is , and holds for peak or for rms values. The phase is . A positive means the current lags.
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Given. , H, F, V, Hz.
Step 1. The angular frequency. .
Step 2. The reactances. . .
Step 3. The impedance. . So .
Step 4. The current. A.
Step 5. The phase. , so . The circuit is inductive, so the current lags.
Answer: , , , A and .
Check. is larger than and smaller than . It fits.
