SUMMARY
The voltage across the capacitor in the RLC circuit is determined to be 97.3 V through the application of nodal analysis. The equation used is 3 A - i(ind)/48 - i(res)/100 = v(cap), which highlights the relationship between current and voltage in the circuit. The discussion emphasizes the importance of maintaining consistent units across all terms in the equation to avoid confusion and errors in calculations. A suggestion is made to multiply the current source by the total effective resistance to find the voltage across the capacitor.
