A Series Circuit Containing an Inductor and a Resistor Is $120 - \mathrm { V } 60 - \mathrm { Hz }$

question 264

Short Answer

A series circuit containing an inductor and a resistor is driven by a $120 - \mathrm { V } 60 - \mathrm { Hz }$ voltage source. The resistance is equal to $20.0 \Omega$ and the inductance is $160 \mathrm { mH }$ . What is the phase angle between the current the the applied voltage?
