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

Vt= SQRT((20*20) + (40 *40)).

= SQRT(2025).

= 45.

Why are we doing sqrt ?

PETHURAJA said:   1 decade ago
Because there is a imaginary terms are there so we use squart.

(20 + j40).

To find the magnitude of the above expression:

Val = sqrt(20*20 + 40*40) = 44.7213 == 45.6.
