Consider a series RLC circuit. The applied voltage has a maximum value of 120 V and oscillates at a frequency of 81 Hz. The circuit contains a variable capacitor, an 820 [tex]\Omega[/tex] and a 3.7 H inductor. Determine the value of the capacitor such that the voltage across the capacitor is out of phase with the applied voltage by 48 degrees, with Vmax leading Vc. Answer in units of H.
[tex]\omega[/tex] = 2[tex]\pi[/tex]f; Z = sqrt(R2 + ([tex]\omega[/tex]L - 1/[tex]\omega[/tex]C)2)
So i figured I needed to use that last equation, but I don't know Z or C. What does it mean "out of phase" and what kind of equations use that value?Thank you so much for any help, in advance
