An alternating source of emf 12 V and frequency 50 Hz is applied to a capacitor of capacitance 3 μF in series with a resistor of resistance 1 kΩ , Calculate the phase angle. (Ans: 46.7°)



Data Given:


Voltage = V = 12 V

Frequency = f = 50 Hz

Capacitance of capacitor = C = 3 μF = 3 x10⁻⁶ F

Resistance = R =  1 kΩ = 1 x10³ Ω 




To Find:


Phase angle  = θ = ?


Solution:


The phase angle θ  can be calculated as

θ = tan⁻¹ (1CR)

or

θ = tan⁻¹ (12fCR)

By putting values

θ = tan⁻¹ (123.141550Hz310F110³Ω)

θ = tan⁻¹ (1942.4810³)

θ = tan⁻¹ (0.0010610 x10³)

or

θ = tan⁻¹ (1.0610 )

θ = 46.7° -----------------Ans.
