🔍 Key Concepts

• Impedance of a series RC circuit (resistor + capacitor) in rectangular form • Conversion from rectangular coordinates (R + jX) to polar coordinates (magnitude and phase angle) • Sign of the phase angle for capacitive vs. inductive reactance

💭 Think About

• First write the impedance in rectangular form using the given resistor and capacitive reactance. What does that look like as R + jX? • How do you compute the magnitude of a vector whose real part is R and imaginary part is X? Which answer choices match that magnitude? • For a capacitor, is the reactance plotted above or below the real axis on the complex plane, and how does that affect the sign of the angle?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using capacitive reactance (negative imaginary part) when writing the impedance in rectangular form. • Carefully compute the magnitude using the Pythagorean theorem and compare it to the magnitudes in the choices. • Determine whether the phase angle should be positive or negative for a circuit where the capacitive reactance dominates.
