What is the phase angle between the voltage across and the current through a series RLC circuit if XC is 500 ohms, R is 1 kilohm, and XL is 250 ohms?
Answer14.0 degrees with the voltage lagging the current
Net reactance is XL - XC = 250 - 500 = -250 ohms. arctan(-250/1000) is about -14 degrees, so voltage lags current by 14 degrees.
