Help with Last RLC Circuit M/C Question

AI Thread Summary
In the discussion about a homework question on RLC circuits, a user seeks help determining the condition when instantaneous voltage and current are in phase. The answer choices include scenarios involving inductive reactance, capacitive reactance, total reactance, and resistance. Another participant suggests that the original poster should create a new thread for clarity and questions the relationship between phase shifts and resistance or reactance. Additionally, there is a reminder that users should demonstrate some understanding or work before receiving assistance. The conversation emphasizes the importance of proper forum etiquette while addressing the physics concept.

Hi everyone,
Srry to post a different homework question in your thread here, but tried to start a new topic/thread but for some reason, the system is not letting me.

Here is my question:

It's the last m/c question out of 30 that I am doing tonight, and I'm having a bit of trouble figuring this one out:

Question:
When the instantaneous voltage and current in a RLC circuit are in phase...

Answer Choices are as follows:
A. Inductive Reactance is ZERO.
B. Capacitive Reactance is ZERO.
C. Total Reactance is ZERO.
D. Resistance is ZERO.

If someone can assist me with this last HW problem, I'd really appredciate it. Thanks!

You should start a thread for this. You are kinda hijacking the other guys thread, but... what causes a phase shift? Does resistance cause a phase shift? Does reactance cause a phase shift?
 
I split this off from the other thread.

That said, to the OP: our policy is that you show some work before we help you...
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
