The relationship between Voltage (V) measured in volts, Current (I) measured in amperes and Impedance (Z)
measured in ohms in an alternating current circuit is given by V = IZ. The impedance of a series circuit, as
shown below, is the sum of the impedance of each resistance (resistor, inductor, capacitor). The current passing
through the components below is 2 – i amperes.

(a) Find the total impedance in the above circuit. [2]

(b) Find the voltage of the above circuit. [2]

(c) Find the magnitude of the voltage above. [2]
