Answer

$\phi = -41.5^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

We can find $\phi$: $tan~\phi = \frac{-X_C}{R}$ $tan~\phi = \frac{-\frac{1}{\omega_d ~C}}{R}$ $tan~\phi = -\frac{1}{\omega_d ~C~R}$ $tan~\phi = -\frac{1}{2\pi~f_d ~C~R}$ $tan~\phi = -\frac{1}{(2\pi)~(60.0~Hz)~(15.0\times 10^{-6}~F)~(200~\Omega)}$ $tan~\phi = -0.8842$ $\phi = tan^{-1}~(-0.8842)$ $\phi = -41.5^{\circ}$
