An inductor is a passive two-terminal device that stores energy in a magnetic field when current passes through it. When an inductor is attached to an AC supply, the resistance produced by it is called inductive reactance (X_L).

Resistance is measure of opposition to the flow of current in a closed electrical circuit. It is measured in Ohm (Ω).

Impedance is defined as the effective resistance of an electric circuit to the flow of current due to the combined effect of resistance (offered by resistor) and reactance (offered by capacitor and inductor).

A phasor diagram is graphical representation of magnitude and directional relationship between two or more alternating quantities.

Resistance of the resistor, R = 200 Ω

The inductance of the coil, L = 0.400 H

Capacitance of capacitor, C = 6.00 µF

The amplitude of voltage source, V = 30.0 V

Angular frequency of the source, Ó¬ = 250 rad/s

Since the inductor and resistor are connected in series, Impedance of the circuit will be given by

$Z=\sqrt{R^2+X_L^2}$

Here, XL is the inductive reactance and its value is given by

$$\begin{gathered} X_L=\mathrm{Ó\neg }L \\ =\left(250rad/s\right)\left(0.4H\right) \\ =100\mathrm{Î\copyright } \end{gathered}$$

Putting the values in Z

$$\begin{gathered} Z=\sqrt{R^2+X_L^2} \\ =\sqrt{{200}^2+{100}^2} \\ =224\mathrm{Î\copyright } \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the impedance of the circuit is 224 Ω

By using Ohm’s Law

$$\begin{gathered} V=I.Z \\ I=\frac{V}{Z} \end{gathered}$$

It is given that voltage amplitude of the source is 30.0 V, so

$I=\frac{V}{Z}=\frac{30.0V}{224\mathrm{Î\copyright }}=0.134A$

Therefore, the amplitude of the current in circuit is 0.134 A

The voltage drop across the resistor is in phase with current, so by using ohm’s law

$$\begin{gathered} V_R=IR \\ =\left(0.134A\right)\left(200\mathrm{Î\copyright }\right) \\ =26.8V \end{gathered}$$

The voltage drop across the inductor is given by

$$\begin{gathered} V_L=I{X}_L \\ =\left(0.134A\right)\left(100\mathrm{Î\copyright }\right) \\ =13.4V \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the voltage drop across the resistor and inductor is 26.8 V and 13.4 V respectively.

The angle between voltage and current phasors in R-L circuit is given by

$$\begin{gathered} \tan \mathrm{Ï•}=\frac{X_L}{R} \\ \tan \mathrm{Ï•}=\frac{100\mathrm{Î\copyright }}{200\mathrm{Î\copyright }} \\ \tan \mathrm{Ï•}=0.5 \\ \mathrm{Ï•}=+26.6° \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the phase angle of the voltage source with respect to current is +26.6°
