I think I figured out where I went wrong. I know I need to divide XL/R and then multiply it by tan^-1. Only problem is I don't know what tan^-1 is. What does tan^-1 equal?
I have trouble figuring out how my textbook came up with the totals and am looking for step by step help. Here is what the text shows.
Z = R + j0 = R = 56 Ohm (in rectangular form [XL = 0])
Z = R < 0 degrees = 56 < 0 degrees Ohm (in polar form)
Z = 0 + jXL = j100 Ohm (in rectangular form...
well what i know about rl circuits is very little which is why I'm here. i barely know anything about circuits in general and was hoping for some help. here's what i know about rl circuits. RL circuit consists of a resistor and inductor, connected either in series or parallel, driven by a...
Can someone explain to me 2 basic applications of RL circuits? What are they used for and some examples, please. I'm quite confused. It doesn't take much.:blushing:
