SUMMARY
The voltage across the capacitor in an RLC circuit with zero inductance can be calculated using Kirchhoff's voltage law. Given the rms voltage across the generator is 45V and the resistor is 24V, the current through the circuit is determined to be 8/15A. The voltage across the capacitor can be derived from the equation V = I * Xc, where Xc is the capacitive reactance. Since the sum of voltages in the loop must equal zero, the voltage across the capacitor is -21V.
