Problem

For the series and parallel RLCRLC circuits in Figs. 8.10 and 8.20, draw the vectors representing all of the complex voltages and currents. For the sake of making a concrete picture, assume that R=∣ZL∣=2∣ZC∣R = |Z_L| = 2|Z_C|. The vectors all rotate around in the complex plane, so you can draw them at whatever instant in time you find most convenient.
