Problem 4.146

A capacitor with capacitance \(C\) and a coil with active resistance \(R\) and inductance \(L\) are connected in parallel to a source of sinusoidal voltage of frequency \(\omega .\) Find the phase difference between the current fed to the circuit and the source voltage.

Reveal Answer
tanφ=ωC(R2+ω2L2)ωLR\tan \varphi=\frac{\omega C\left(R^{2}+\omega^{2} L^{2}\right)-\omega L}{R}
