tan θ = (XC/R) ==> θ = tan^(-1) (XC/R) ==> (Phase angle for SERIES RC Circuit)
tan θ = (R/XC) ==> θ = tan^(-1) (R/XC) ==> (Phase angle for PARALLEL RC Circuit)

tan θ = (XL/R) ==> θ = tan^(-1) (XL/R) ==>(Phase angle for SERIES RL Circuit)
tan θ = (R/XL) ==> θ = tan^(-1) (R/XL)) ==> (Phase angle for PARALLEL RL Circuit)

Given: L = 100 m H; XL = 6 kΩ, R = 1 k Ω, θ =?

tan θ = (XL/R) = θ = tan^(-1) (XL/R) ==>(Phase angle for SERIES RL Circuit)
tan θ = (XL/R) = θ = tan^(-1) (6 kΩ /1 kΩ) ==> tan^(-1) (6) = 80.53 -> 81.00 °.

tan(-1) 6 = 1.40.
How is 81 coming?

Tan(θ) = X/R.
Here,

X is reactance of nductance, R resistance in series.

Since tan(angle) = Xl-Xc/R, here Xc is absent, therefore, tan(angle) = Xl/R.

i.e Angle = tan^-1(6)=80.5~81.0 degrees.

How is that found? May someone explain please?
