Answer

(a) $0.173V$ (b) $7.84V$ (c) $1.84V$ (d) greater than

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $V_{rms, R}=I_{rms}\times R$ $\implies V_{rms, R}=0.069\times 25$ $V_{rms,R}=0.173V$ (b) The voltage across inductor L is given as $V_{rms, L}=I_{rms}\times X_L$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V_{rms, L}=0.069\times 113.14$ $V_{rms, L}=7.84V$ (c) The voltage across capacitor is given as $V_{rms, C}=I_{rms}\times X_C$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V_{rms, C}=0.069\times 26.5$ $V_{rms, C}=1.84V$ (d) We know that the sum of the rms voltages in parts (a), b and (c) is greater than 6V. As $V_{rms}=I_{rms}\times Z$ but $Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}$ and $Z\ne R+X_L+X_C$ Therefore $V_{rms}\ne V_{rms, R}+V_{rms,C}+V_{rms,L}$ We can see that $V_{rms, R}+V_{rms,C}+V{rms, L}\gt V_{rms}$ Thus, the sum of magnitudes of the voltages that are out of phase is greater than the magnitude of their vector sum.
