Z = R+jX, so tanθ = X/R X = 1/2PIfc place the given values in following equation.

Given: f = 1.1 kHz; VAC = 5V; R = 50Ω ; C = 5.6μ F.
XC = 1/ (2 * π * F * C).
XC = 1 / (2 * 3.14 * 1.1 * 103 * 5.6 * 10-6)
XC = 1 / 38.6848 * 10-3,
XC = 0.02584 * 10-3,
XC = 25.84.
The phase angle between the current and voltage is calculated from the impedance triangle above as:
For RC Circuit; tan (θ) = XC / R,
(θ) = tan-1 (XC / R),
(θ) = tan-1 (25.84/50),
(θ) = tan-1 (0.5168).
(θ) = 30.02˚.

@Kiran
Don't divide (XC/R) and calculate phase angle.
Calculate directly using (θ) = tan-1 (-XC / R).
You will get (θ) = -27.32˚.
