RLC Circuit: Find Missing Component - Inductor?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the missing component in an RLC circuit with an impedance of 192 ohms and a phase angle of -75 degrees, where a resistor of 49.7 ohms is present. Participants conclude that the missing component is likely an inductor due to the property that the instantaneous voltage across an inductor leads the instantaneous current by 90 degrees. This phase relationship is critical in identifying the component that would result in the observed impedance and phase angle.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of RLC circuit theory
  • Knowledge of impedance and phase angle concepts

1. if a impedance at 192 ,phase angle -75, resistor 49.7, wat missing in this circuit? A inductor or capacitor?
Can it be a inductor?

maybe :rolleyes:

give reasons! :wink:
 
Inductor since The instantaneous voltage across the inductor VL leads the instantaneous current by 90 degrees. Is that the reason?
