How do i find the phase shift? 'I've done (a) but I don't know how to find phase shift .

When a direct current of 2A is passed through a coil, the potential difference across the coil is 20V. When an alternating current of 2A at a frequency of 40Hz is passed through the coil, the potential difference across the coil is 140V.

a) Find the current in the coil if it is connected to a supply of 230V, 50Hz.
b) What is the phase shift of the current in the coil with respect to the supply voltage?

What do you know and can tell us about the relationship of current to voltage in an inductor? How did you work out part (a)?

OK, that looks good. What can you say about the phase relationship between current and voltage in a resistor?

And in a pure inductor?
