Engineering Draw the magnitude and phase angle of a voltage in this AC circuit

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on confirming the accuracy of a solution for calculating the magnitude and phase angle of voltage in an AC circuit. The user expresses uncertainty about the treatment of inductance (L) and capacitance (C) in their calculations. They provide MATLAB code for computing voltage across the capacitor, indicating that the results appear improved after revising their approach. Key observations include a 90-degree phase difference at the resonant frequency and the expected drop in voltage across the capacitor at higher frequencies. The conversation emphasizes the importance of verifying calculations in AC circuit analysis.

Homework Statement
Consider the simple ac circuit of figure 1(b). The frequency of the AC source varies between 100 Hz to 500 Hz. Draw the magnitude and phase angle of the voltage across the capacitor. Try to increase the frequency by step of 5 Hz.
The circuit is attached below.

From the code ?

it seems strange to me that L and C are treated similarly ...

PS: PF has
Matlab:
 ... your code here ...  [\CODE] tags that present it much mure usefully:

[code=matlab] for i = 1:((500-100)/5 + 1) 
     w(i) = ...

Thank you !

C should be = 1/(Xc*j*w(i))
I resolve it again and here's what I got :
Matlab:
clc;
clear all;
v=100*(sind(0)*j+cosd(0)); %convert from polar to rectangular form
r=10;
xl=10*10^(-3);
xc=50*10^(-6);
f=100:5:500;
for i=1:((500-100)/5+1)
    w(i)=f(i)*2*pi;
    l(i)=j*w(i)*xl;
    c(i)=1/(xc*j*w(i));
    vc(i)=v*c(i)/(c(i)+l(i)+r); %apply VDR
end
figure(1)
subplot (2,1,1) , plot(f,abs(vc))
subplot (2,1,2) , plot(f,rad2deg(angle(vc)))

Looks a lot better now !
Checks are 90 degree phase difference at ##\ 2\pi f = {1\over \sqrt{LC}}\ ##
and V(C) dropping off with ##1/\omega^2\ ## at higher frequencies.
