Solution and Explanation

The given circuit has an AC voltage source with voltage \( V = 400 \sin(10 \pi t) \) V, an inductor \( L \), a capacitor \( C \), and a resistor \( R = 200 \, \Omega \) in series. The inductance \( L = 80 \, \text{V} \), and the capacitance \( C = 80 \, \text{V} \). Step 1: Voltage across the components.
The voltage across the resistor \( R \) can be calculated using Ohm's law: \[ V_R = I R \] where \( I \) is the current in the circuit. The total impedance \( Z \) of the series circuit is given by: \[ Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_^2} \] where: - \( X_L = \omega L \) is the inductive reactance, - \( X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} \) is the capacitive reactance, - \( \omega = 10 \pi \) is the angular frequency. Substituting the values: \[ X_L = \omega L = 10 \pi \times 80 = 800 \pi \, \Omega, \quad X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} = \frac{1}{10 \pi \times 80} = \frac{1}{800 \pi} \, \Omega \] Now, calculate the total impedance: \[ Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_^2} = \sqrt{200^2 + (800 \pi - \frac{1}{800 \pi})^2} \]
Step 2: Current in the circuit.
The current \( I \) can be calculated from the voltage and impedance: \[ I = \frac{V_{\text{max}}}{Z} = \frac{400}{Z} \]
Step 3: Voltage across the resistor.
Once the current \( I \) is calculated, we can use Ohm's law to find the voltage across the resistor: \[ V_R = I R \]
Step 4: Phase difference.
The phase difference \( \Delta \phi \) between the inductor and the capacitor is given by: \[ \Delta \phi = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{X_L - X_C}{R} \right) \]
Step 5: Conclusion.
Using the above formulas and calculations, we can obtain the current, voltage across the resistor, and the phase difference between the inductor and the capacitor.
