When circuits contain two more separate elements, such RL, or
RLC, the phase angle between the total voltage and total current will be

.We usually assume phasors
to rotate anticlockwise and the complete diagram will shown Fig. 0. The phase difference, measured degrees
between the current and voltage, called the phase angle the circuit,

total voltage but because this a.3

The magnitude the resultant phasor can measured from the phasor diagram and is
found acting phase angle about 37° leading therefore say that the
