15.6 Exercise 32

Avg difficulty 2.5

An RLC series circuit consists of a 50-Ω50 - \Omega resistor, a 200-μF200 - \mu \text{F} capacitor, and a 120-mH inductor whose coil has a resistance of 20Ω20 \Omega. The source for the circuit has an rms emf of 240 V at a frequency of 60 Hz. Calculate the rms voltages across the (a) resistor, (b) capacitor, and (c) inductor.
