An RC circuit is set up as shown with a capacitor and a resistor in series; C= 0.5 μF and R= 2 kΩ. The function generator is adjusted to generate a 100 Hz sine wave.
a) Calculate the capacitive reactance of the circuit.
b) Determine the Impedance, Z, of the circuit.
c) Calculate the phase difference between the voltage and the current in the circuit.
d) Sketch the Lissajous figure that would be generated by the oscilloscope in X-Y mode, giving any appropriate dimensions or ratios of dimensions of the figure.
