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

The complex impedance of the load is given by,
Z = 4 . 7 + j ω L = 4 . 7 + j 2 π ( 6 0 ) ( 2 . 5 × 1 0 − 3 )
so the phase lag is given by ϕ = tan − 1 ( 4 . 7 1 2 0 π ( 2 . 5 × 1 0 − 3 ) ) = 1 1 . 3 3 ∘
