Solution

To find the phase difference between the current and the voltage in a series LCR circuit, we can use the relationship between impedance (Z), resistance (R), and reactance (X).

In this case, we are given that the resistance R is 10Ω and the impedance Z is 20Ω.

The impedance in a series LCR circuit can be calculated using the formula Z = √(R^2 + X^2), where X is the reactance.

To find the reactance, we can rearrange the formula as X = √(Z^2 - R^2).

Substituting the given values, we have X = √(20^2 - 10^2) = √(400 - 100) = √300 = 10√3 Ω.

Now, to find the phase difference, we can use the formula tan(θ) = X/R, where θ is the phase difference.

Substituting the values, we have tan(θ) = (10√3)/10 = √3.

To find the angle θ, we can take the inverse tangent (arctan) of √3.

Using a calculator, we find that arctan(√3) ≈ 60°.

Therefore, the phase difference between the current and the voltage in the series LCR circuit is approximately 60°.
