Answer:
The phase angle in an RLC circuit is determined by the value of the components, the frequency of the source, and the type of connection (series o parallel). The phase shift is the difference in peak in the waves from different circuit points, or in relation to the power source.
Explanation:
The phase angle can be determined in a series circuit by the equation:
[tex]\omega = 2*\pi*f
\\
\phi = tan^{-1}{\left[ \frac{2*\pi*f*L-(\frac{1}{2*\pi*f*C})}{R} \right ]}/tex]
And in a parallel circuit:
[tex]\omega = 2*pi*f
\\
\phi = tan^{-1}{\left [R\frac{1}{2*\pi*f*L}-2*\pi*f*C \right ]}[/tex]
And finally to calculate the phase shift, you can substrac the phase angle, from the source angle, that usually is 90°.
