The plot of part b is attached below.
I got a warning on part a , I don't know where is my mistake .
Please check my work .
Part A
Matlab:
clc;
clear all;
%parta
f=800;
t=0:10e-6:0.005;
xc=10^(-6);
xl=40e-3;
for i=1:(0.005)/(10e-6)
    w=2*f*pi;
    zeq=xl*j*w+50;
    is(i)=2*(1600*t(i)*pi);
    c=1/(xc*j*w);
    i1(i)=is(i)*c/(c+zeq); %apply CDR
    vo(i)=i1(i)*zeq;
end
figure (1)
subplot(2,1,1) , plot (t,vo)
subplot (2,1,2) , plot (t,is)
%partb
f=10:10:1000;
xl=40e-3;
xc=1e-6;
r=50;
for i=1:100 %(1000-10)/10+1=100
    w(i)=2*f(i)*pi;
    zeq(i)=xl*j*w(i)+r;
    c(i)=1/(xc*j*w(i));
    l(i)=xl*w(i)*j;
    zeq(i)=r+l(i);
    zt(i)=zeq(i)+c(i);
    is(i)=2*(cosd(0)+sind(0)*j); %convert to recantgular form
    vo(i)=(is(i)*c(i)/zt(i))*zeq(i); %Apply CDR to find the current and multiply it by Zeq to get the voltage
end
logscale1=20*log(abs(vo));
logscale2=20*(log(rad2deg(angle(vo))));
subplot(2,1,1) , plot(f,logscale1)
subplot(2,1,2) , plot(f,logscale2)

I don't have Matlab, but Octave gives an error in line 11: the index ##i## in array ##is## is invalid because ##i## is not an integer...

That sounds likely just looking at the code. Actually providing the text of the message would be useful, we can't tell much from "I got a warning somewhere in my code".

I know that 0.005/10e-6 looks like it should be an integer, but floating point arithmetic in computers is not exact. Many numbers that are terminating decimals in base 10 are repeating decimals in base 2.

I would try changing the limits of the FOR loop to "for i=1:round(0.005/10e-6)"

I resolve it again .

l=xl*j*w;

z=l+r;
zeq=(z*c)/(c+z);
vo=is*zeq;  %v=total current*total Z

    vo(i)=is*zeq;
    vom(i)=abs(vo(i));
    voa=rad2deg(angle(vo(i)));
end

I missed (i) , it should be voa(i)=rad2deg(angle(vo(i)));
