Here, rc series circuit therefore as formula vt= squareroot of vr*vr+vc*vc=400.

1600=44. 72=45v.

Thats the answer.

Ya above method is correct.

I agree with above statement.

Let us for suppose that an i current is flowed in to the circuit such that "the voltage developed across the series pair of resistance and capacitor is == I(R+jXc)

The voltage = IR + j(IXc) = voltage acc resistance + j(voltage acrosscapacitor)

= 20+j40
= sqrt(20*20 + 40 *40)
= 44.72

Awesome answr by chandrasekar.

V=(Vr^2+Vc^2)^1/2
V=(400+1600)^1/2
V=45

V = sqrt(20^2+40^2).

V = 44.72.
