a 12ohm resistor and a 0.21H inductor are connected in series to an ac source operating at 20V, 50cycle/second . the phase angle between current and source voltage is

1) 30degree

2) 40

3) 80

4) 90

The phase angle between the current and the voltage is,
φ=tan-1ωLR
Here,
ω=2πf=2π×50=100π rad/s
So,
φ=tan-1100π×0.2112=79.69 degree
So 3 is the right choice.
