Q:

120v 60hz supply.

The coil an capacitor are in series

Coil impedance is 232 ohms at a 81 degrees lagging power factor and the Xc of the cap is 150 ohms. How would you calculate the voltage across the coil and the voltage across the cap? Thanks

 

I've calculated the coil resistance to be 187.92 ohms and XL to be 136.05 ohms. Therefore Xt is 13.95 ohms. I'm not sure where to go from here though...

 

If you sketch out all the vectors in a phasor diagram you should be able to see how to calculate the voltages from the geometry.

 

You already have coil impedance. Why did you calculate it, again?

 

Also.
Are you allowed to use complex numbers?
