18.
When the frequency of the voltage applied to a series RC circuit is increased, the phase angle
19.
In a series RC circuit, when the frequency and the resistance are halved, the impedance
20.
A 2 k
resistor is in series with a 0.015
F capacitor across a 15 kHz ac source. What is the magnitude of the total impedance and the phase angle?


Answer: Option
Explanation:
Xc = 1/2πfC = 707 Ω
Z = R - jXc = 2000 - j(707)
|z| = sqrt(R*R + Xc*Xc) = 2121 Ω
Phase angle = arctangent(Xc/R) = 19.5°
