Conversion with Vectors.
Engineer P.C. Bard has determined that in the RC circuit shown, the total
impedance is 77.8 ohms and voltage lags current by 36.5 º. What a .re the
values of resistance R and capacitive reactance X
C
in the circuit
?
Use a vector diagram as shown, with impedance equal to the polar
magnitude, r, and voltage lag equal to the angle,
θ
, in degrees. When the
values are converted to rectangular coordinates, the x–value yields R, in ohms;
the y–value yields X
C
,in ohms.

Time Conversions
Values for time (in hours, H) or angles (in degrees, D) can be converted
between a decimal–fraction form (H.h or D.d) and a minutes–seconds form
(H.MMSSss or D.MMSSss) using the
z
