Homework Statement


AC voltage source rms voltage of 158. Circuit has Resistance 106 X(L) is 205 and X(C) is 110
At the instant the voltage across the generator is at its maximum value, what is the magnitude of the current in the circuit?

Homework Equations


V=IR, Vmax=ImaxZ
I found Z, Irms


The Attempt at a Solution


voltage across generator is not in phase with the current so it will be less than the max value but I don't know by what factor it will be less

The load can be inductive or capacitive to make phase angle = 0. So the minimum |Z| = R.
