    The document describes an RC series circuit and provides equations to calculate various circuit properties. It includes: 1) Equations to calculate the impedance (Z) of the circuit in both polar and rectangular form as a function of resistance (R) and capacitive reactance (XC). 2) Diagrams showing the voltage, impedance, and power relationships in the circuit. 3) An example problem that applies the equations to calculate the total impedance, current, power factor, voltages across the resistor and capacitor for a given RC circuit operating at 60Hz.

    Example Problem:
    A 10-ohm resistor in series with a capacitance of 𝐶 = 153.15𝜇𝑓 is connected to a voltage source
    of 120 volts 60 Hz source. Determine:
    A. The total impedance
    B. The total current
    C. The over-all pf
    D. The voltage across the resistor
    E. The voltage across the capacitor

    𝑋𝐶 =
    𝜔𝐶
    1
    𝑋𝐶 =

    𝑋𝐶 =
    2𝜋(60)(153.15𝑥10−3 )
    𝑋𝐶 = 17.32𝛺
    A. The total impedance:
    𝑋𝐶
    𝑍 = √𝑅 2 + 𝑋𝑐 2 𝑡𝑎𝑛−1

    Or
    𝑍 = 𝑅 − 𝑗𝑋𝐶
    𝑍 = 10 − 𝑗17.32
    𝒁 = 𝟐𝟎 /−𝟔𝟎°𝜴
    B. The total current
