Phase lag in simple circuit

A simple circuit is composed of an AC source of frequency 60 Hz 60 \text{ Hz} connected across a series 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 current (with respect to the source voltage) in degrees.


The answer is 11.33.

The complex impedance of the load is given by,

Z = 4.7 + j ω L = 4.7 + j 2 π ( 60 ) ( 2.5 × 1 0 3 ) Z = 4.7 + j \omega L = 4.7 + j 2 \pi ( 60 )(2.5 \times 10^{-3} )

so the phase lag is given by ϕ = tan 1 ( 120 π ( 2.5 × 1 0 3 ) 4.7 ) = 11.3 3 \phi = \tan^{-1}( \dfrac{120 \pi (2.5 \times 10^{-3})} { 4.7} ) = \boxed{11.33^{\circ} }
