Phase lag in a simple circuit - Part 2

A simple circuit is composed of an AC source of frequency 60 Hz 60 \text{ Hz} connected across a parallel connection of a 4.7 Ω 4.7 \ \Omega resistor and a 2.5 mH 2.5 \text{ mH} inductor. Find the phase lag of the source current (with respect to the source voltage) in degrees.


The answer is 78.67.

For the parallel connection between the 4.7 Ω 4.7 \Omega resistor and the 2.5 2.5 mH inductor, the admittance is given by

Y = 1 4.7 j 1 120 π × 2.5 × 1 0 3 Y = \dfrac{1}{4.7} - j \dfrac{1}{ 120 \pi \times 2.5 \times 10^{-3} }

Since the current is I = Y V I = Y V , then the phase lag is ϕ = tan 1 ( 4.7 120 π × 2.5 × 1 0 3 ) = 78.6 7 \phi = \tan^{-1} ( \dfrac{4.7}{ 120 \pi \times 2.5 \times 10^{-3} } ) = 78.67^{\circ}
