Engineering Understanding Voltage Distribution in an Electrical Circuit Logic

AI Thread Summary
In the discussion on voltage distribution in an electrical circuit, it is clarified that the voltage across the resistor is not equal to V0 but is instead 16.cos(377t+45°). The voltage across the inductor, denoted as vo(t), is emphasized as the relevant voltage due to the capacitor's configuration. The capacitor prevents the resistor from being in parallel with V0, which is a key point in understanding the circuit's behavior. This clarification helps in preparing for exams by reinforcing the relationship between circuit components. Understanding these voltage distributions is crucial for mastering electrical circuit concepts.

Trying to study in preparation for an exam, I've been told that I need to consider the circuits a little more. So in this circuit:

Would the voltage across the resistor be the voltage across V0? Or would it be the voltage across the inductor because the capacitor is keeping the resistor from being parallel to V0?

It's the voltage across the inductor.
 
Thanks! I thought so, just wanted to make sure that I wasn't making it too hard for myself, that tends to be the case unfortunately. Haha

No. The voltage across the resistor is 16.cos(377t+45°)

vo(t) is the voltage across the inductor.
