Finding angular frequency in electric circuit

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the angular frequency in an electric circuit where the phase difference between voltages U_{2} and U_{1} is 180 degrees. The user attempts to derive the angular frequency using Ohm's Law and voltage equations but struggles to establish the relationship between phase difference and angular frequency. Key equations mentioned include U = Z · I and U = \hat{U} cos(ωt + α). The user successfully calculates the idle current and equivalent impedance but requires further guidance on utilizing the phase difference in their calculations.

Homework Statement


At a certain angular frequency, the phase difference between U_{2} and U_{1} is 180^{\circ}.
a) Calculate this angular frequency
b) Calculate U_{2} at this angular frequency

See the attachment for circuit configuration.


Homework Equations


Ohms law: U = Z \cdot I
Voltage: U = \hat{U} cos(\omega t + \alpha)


The Attempt at a Solution


I can't seem to find the relation between phase difference and angular frequency.

I've tried to compute the equivalent double-pole, separating the coil with voltage U_2 from the rest och the circuit, with the following result:

Idle current:
U_t = \frac{\omega^2 L^2 + Rj\omega L}{R^2 + \omega^2 L^2} U_1

Equivalent impedance:
Z_0 = \frac{\omega^2 RCL - R - j\omega L}{\omega^2 LC - j\omega RC}

And from this I've calculated U_{2}:
U_{2} = \frac{j\omega L}{Z_0 + j\omega L} U_t

But as stated, I can't find the relation between angular frequency and phase difference. How do I use the phase difference?
