An RLC series circuit has an applied voltage of 240 volts. The capacitor has a reactance of 48 Ω and the inductor has a reactance of 100 Ω. The total impedance (Z) is 80 Ω. What is the voltage drop across the capacitor?

Step 1
First, we need to find the total impedance of the circuit (Z). We can use the formula Z = sqrt(R^2 + (Xl - Xc)^2), where R is the resistance, Xl is the inductive reactance, and Xc is the capacitive reactance. Plugging in the given values, we get: Z = sqrt(48^2 + Show more…
