Resistor, R=20 Ω and a capacitor C=200 µF are in a series circuit of alternating current with a voltage of U=120 V and a frequency of ƒ=60 Hz. What is the current that flows through the circuit? What are the voltage drops across the resistor and the capacitor?

So you have real impedance from the resistor:
Z = R

You have imaginary impedance from the capacitor:
Z = -i / (omega)C, where omega = 2 pi f

Use the pythagorean theorem to get the magnitude of the total impedance:

magnitude Z = sqrt (R^2 + 1/ (2 pi f C)^2)

Then magnitude of current = U / Zmag

The magnitude of the voltage drop across the resistor will just be I(mag) R = UR / Zmag.

The magnitude of the voltage drop across the capacitor will be U / (2 pi f C Zmag)

The magnitudes of the elements don't add up to the total magnitude of voltage, U, because they are out of phase.

for the time of historic past, the Church (holy adult males) have sought to act as a potential to speak with deities. For this, they are paid in the two nutrition, gifs or complicated money. yet what if all of it's nonsense ? - what's going to ensue to all the church homes and faith interior the worldwide ? an excellent sort of wars are fought because of the fact they are non secular, the State comes to a decision what that's faith is, and for this reason can attempt and unfold this (as their faith says) into different worldwide places. Missionanries set up church homes and money is paid into them, which then bypass it directly to the non secular centre. If aliens stepped in and dissatisfied the order - what might ensue then ? - The Church might unfastened out - and with it the state. for this reason aliens can't be allowed to exist, and could be portrayed as evil invaders. Any evidence would be destroyed, hidden or denied. despite is left would be hidden via the militia in an attempt to opposite engineer the technologies for their very own constructive factors. that's basically how that's. I asked a query at here to confirm if the Vaults of the Vatican would be open to inspection.......It have been given deleted. in the event that they have not have been given something to conceal - what's the topic ?

Xc = 1/ 2pifC = 1/200*10^-6*6.28*2*60 = 6.63
120/(20+6.63) = 4.5 amperes current flow
4.5*20 = 90 volts drop across R
4.5*6.63 = 30 volts across the capacitor

if you post your e-mail address i'll write it all out for you scan it and e-mail it to you. it'd be too annoying to type it all out. there are several straight forward equations that will solve the problem.
