Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required voltmeter reading between the points A and B as follows: $\omega=2\pi f$ $\omega=2\pi(30,000)=60,000\pi s^{-1}$ The inductive reactance $X_L=\omega L$ $X_L=60,000\pi\times 0.3\times 10^{-3}=56.57\Omega$ The capacitive reactance is $X_C=\frac{1}{\omega C}$ $X_C=\frac{1}{60,000\pi\times 0.1\times 10^{-6}}$ $X_C=53\Omega$ The impedance of the circuit is given as $Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}$ $Z=\sqrt{(2.5)^2+(56.57-53)^2}$ $\implies Z=4.36\Omega$ The rms current $I_{rms}=\frac{V_{rms}}{Z}$ $\implies I_{rms}=\frac{6}{4.36}=1.4A$ Now the voltmeter reading between the points A and B is $V_{rms,L}=I_{rms}\times X_L$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V_{rms,L}=1.4\times 56.57=79.198V$ (b) The voltmeter reading between the points B and C is the rms voltage across the capacitor $V_{rms,C}=I_{rms}\times X_C$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V_{rms,C}=1.4\times 53=74.2V$ (c) The voltmeter reading between the points A and C is the rms voltage across the inductor and capacitor. $V_{rms,LC}=I_{rms}\times(X_L-X_C)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V_{rms,LC}=1.4(56.57-53)=4.998V$ (d) The voltmeter reading between the points A and D is the voltage across RLC. This is actually the rms voltage in the circuit that is $V_{rms,RLC}=V_{rms}=6V$
