The phase difference (ϕ) between voltage and current in a series RLC circuit is determined by the relationship between the resistance (R) and the net reactance (X).
Calculation
The phase angle (ϕ) is calculated using the formula:
ϕ=arctan(RXL−XC)
Given values:
Resistance, R=100 Ω
Inductive Reactance, XL=300 Ω
Capacitive Reactance, XC=100 Ω
Step 1: Calculate Net Reactance (X)
The net reactance is the difference between the inductive and capacitive reactances:
X=XL−XC
X=300 Ω−100 Ω
X=200 Ω
Step 2: Calculate the Phase Angle (ϕ)
Now, substitute the values into the phase angle formula:
ϕ=arctan(100 Ω200 Ω)
ϕ=arctan(2)
Since arctan(1)=45∘ and arctan(3 )≈60∘, we know that arctan(2) must be greater than 60∘. We can use the code interpreter to get the precise value:
Python
import numpy as np
# Given values
R = 100
XL = 300
XC = 100
# Calculate the phase angle in degrees
phase_angle_radians = np.arctan((XL - XC) / R)
phase_angle_degrees = np.degrees(phase_angle_radians)
print(f"Phase Angle (degrees): {phase_angle_degrees}")
Code output
Phase Angle (degrees): 63.43494882292201
The calculated phase angle is approximately 63.43∘.
Since XL>XC, the circuit is net inductive, and the voltage leads the current.
Conclusion
Comparing the calculated value (63.43∘) to the given options: ক) 0∘ খ) 90∘ গ) 45∘ ঘ) 60∘
None of the options is exactly 63.43∘. However, in multiple-choice questions for electrical circuits, if the exact answer isn't listed, the closest possible answer is usually required, or the question may implicitly refer to a scenario where the ratio simplifies to a standard angle (like 45∘ where X=R, or 90∘ where R=0).
In this specific calculation:
arctan(2)≈63.4∘.
The closest available option is ঘ) 60∘, which corresponds to arctan(3 )≈59.9∘. Given the choices, 60∘ is the most plausible intended answer, despite the slight mismatch in the provided X/R ratio.
Therefore, the most appropriate choice from the given options is:
ঘ) 60∘ (The calculated value is 63.4∘, making 60∘ the nearest option).
