Question:medium
An inductor and a resistor are connected in series to an ac supply. If the potential differences across the inductor and the resistor are 180 V and 240 V respectively, then the voltage of the ac supply is
An inductor and a resistor are connected in series to an ac supply. If the potential differences across the inductor and the resistor are 180 V and 240 V respectively, then the voltage of the ac supply is
Show Hint
AC voltages add vectorially (phasors), not algebraically. $V_{total} \neq V_R + V_L$.
