The problem involves a series circuit with given voltage amplitudes across various components, including a resistor, inductor, and capacitor. The original poster seeks to determine the voltage across the resistor based on these values.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants attempting to clarify their understanding of the problem and the methods being used. Some guidance has been offered regarding the consideration of complex values in the context of a series RLC circuit.
Participants note that the instructions provided for the problem are unclear, which may be impacting their ability to solve it effectively. There is also mention of this being the first encounter with the concepts involved.
JayLewis said:Homework Statement
The amplitude of the voltage across an entire series circuit is 17 V. The inductor alone has an amplitude of 30 V and across the capacitor it is 22 V. To the nearest tenth, what is the voltage across the resistor?
