Magnitude and phase angle of the resistor voltage

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the magnitude and phase angle of the resistor voltage in an electrical circuit. The correct expression for the magnitude, derived from the impedance, is given as |M| = R / √(R² + ω²L²), where R represents resistance and L represents inductance. The solution confirms that the magnitude can be expressed more elegantly by separating the numerator and denominator. The phase angle can be determined using the arctangent function based on the impedance components.

You've arrived at correct results, although your magnitude could perhaps be expressed a tad more elegantly. If you begin with your expression for M and realize that resistance R is a positive constant, then the magnitude of the numerator and denominator can be taken separately:

##|\hat{M}| = \frac{|R|}{|R + j\omega L |} ##

and then

##|\hat{M}| = \frac{R}{\sqrt{R^2 + \omega^2 L^2}} ##
