The phase angle between the voltage across and the current through a series R-L-C circuit if XC is 500 ohms, R is<br />
1 kiliohm, and XL is 250 ohms is 14.0 degrees with the voltage lagging the current.<br />
Tangent of θ = Y / X or Tangent of θ = 250 / 1000 or Tangent of θ = .25 or θ = -14.04°<br />
E5B08<br />
The phase angle between the voltage across and the current through a series R-L-C circuit if XC is 100 ohms, R is<br />
100 ohms, and XL is 75 ohms is 14 degrees with the voltage lagging the current.<br />
Tangent of θ = Y / X or Tangent of θ = (75-100)/100 or Tangent of θ = -.25 or θ = -14.04°<br />

E5B09<br />
The relationship between the current through and the voltage across a capacitor is that the current leads the<br />
voltage by 90 degrees.<br />
E5B10<br />
The relationship between the current through an inductor and the voltage across an inductor is that the voltage<br />
leads current by 90 degrees.<br />
E5B11<br />
The phase angle between the voltage across and the current through a series RLC circuit if XC is 25 ohms, R is<br />
100 ohms, and XL is 50 ohms is 14 degrees with the voltage leading the current.<br />
Tangent of θ = Y / X or Tangent of θ = (50-25)/100 or Tangent of θ = -.25 or θ = 14.04°<br />
