- Question
A 2 kΩ resistor is in series with a 0.015 µF capacitor across a 15 kHz ac source. What is the magnitude of the total impedance and the phase angle?
Options- A. 73.4 Ω and ? = ?19.5°
- B. 707 Ω and ? = ?19.5°
- C. 2121 Ω and ? = ?19.5°
- D. 734 Ω and ? = ?38.9°
- Correct Answer
- 2121 Ω and ? = ?19.5°
ExplanationXc = 1/2?fC = 707 ?Z = R - jXc = 2000 - j(707)
|z| = sqrt(R*R + Xc*Xc) = 2121 ?
Phase angle = arctangent(Xc/R) = 19.5°
