    Engineering How Do You Build an RLC Circuit with Specific Phase and Amplitude Requirements?

    I have been given the task of building an RLC circuit that is driven at 10kHz, has an output amplitude of 1/sqrt(2) and is 45 degrees out of phase from the input voltage. I am not really even sure where to get started. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
