A 50 ohm resistor is connected in series with a 0.2 H inductor, a 40 microFarad capacitor, and an AC Generator yielding 120 v (RMS) at 60 Hz. Find A) the inductive reactance b) the capacitive reactance and c) the total reactance, the impedance Z, and the current in Circuit, I.

Answer 1

a, b are standard formulas

c...add the reactances and resistances as complex numbers, then convert to polar form. Current=V/Z
