A simple circuit is composed of an AC source of frequency connected across a parallel connection of a resistor and a inductor. Find the phase lag of the source current (with respect to the source voltage) in degrees.

For the parallel connection between the 4 . 7 Ω resistor and the 2 . 5 mH inductor, the admittance is given by
Y = 4 . 7 1 − j 1 2 0 π × 2 . 5 × 1 0 − 3 1
Since the current is I = Y V , then the phase lag is ϕ = tan − 1 ( 1 2 0 π × 2 . 5 × 1 0 − 3 4 . 7 ) = 7 8 . 6 7 ∘
