Question

Full Question: Suppose that the inductance is zero (L = 0 H) in the series RCL circuit shown in the figure below. The rms voltages across the generator and the resistor are 47.7 and 25.4 V, respectively. What is the rms voltage across the capacitor? Can someone please help me with the correct formula and way to solve this problem?

Explanation / Answer

V capacitor= SQRT( 47.7 squared - 25.4 squared)

=40.3 volts

This is solving a right angled triangle with VR on one short side and Vgen on the hypotenuse. VC is on the other short side.
