Hello again,Assuming I didn't goof this up, here is an expression for (phi) the phase difference between the voltages on the plates of a capacitor in this series RC circuit. Setting Va as the reference for 0 degree phase, Vb phase will be equal to phi.
phi = pi - ArcSin(sin(phi))

Thanks for taking the time to show what you are thinking about. It appears that we are probably talking about two different things, but i will look over your work to see if i can understand your point of view. That's the least i can do i guess because that's what i was asking of you too
In the mean time, perhaps you can provide an *explicit* formula for what you are calculating, even if it means limiting the range or something. The formula you seem to have provided is implicit.
Also, quick question...
My circuit is similar to yours except i have the resistor on top and cap on bottom.
If we call the top of the cap 'a' and bottom 'b' (as you did) in either circuit, would you say, true or false, that the phase shift across the cap is the phase shift measured at 'a' to ground minus the phase shift at 'b' measured from 'b' to ground. True or false.
