  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 1000 Ω resistor is connected in series with a 500 mH inductor and a 10 mF capacitor. At what frequency does the circuit have a phase angle of +45°?

    • A) 10 Hz
    • B) 20 Hz
    • C) 30 Hz
    • D) 40 Hz

    Answer: 30 Hz

    Explanation: Using the phase angle formula, the new frequency is calculated from tan(45°) = Xc / R, giving 30 Hz
