R

Explanation / Answer

step;1

Given that

Voltage V=26 v

resistance R=35 ohm

inductance reactance XL=53 ohm

step;2

now we find the impedance of the cicuit

impedance Z=[(1/R)^2+(1/XL)^2]^1/2=[(1/35)^2+(1/53)^2]^1/2=[8.2*10^-4+3.6*10^-4]^1/2=3.44*10^-2 ohm

step;3

now we find the total current

the total current Itotal=26/3.44*10^-2=755.8 A

step;4

now we find the current on resistance and incuctance

current on resistance Ir=35*755.8/35+53=300.6 A

current on inductance IL=53*755.8/35+53=455.2 A

step;5

now we find the phase angle b/w XL and R

the phase angle=tan^-1[R/XL]=tan^-1[35/53]=33.44 degree
