Options:
  • A $X_L=X_C-R$
  • B $X_L=X_C+R$
  • C $X_C=\sqrt{X_L^2+R^2}$
  • D $\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{L}}=\sqrt{\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}^2+\mathrm{R}^2}$

The correct answer is: $X_L=X_C+R$
The phase between the voltage and the current is given as
$$
\begin{array}{ll}
& \tan \phi=\frac{X_L-X_C}{R} \\
\therefore \quad & \tan 45^{\circ}=\frac{X_L-X_C}{R} \\
\therefore \quad & 1=\frac{X_L-X_C}{R} \\
\therefore \quad & R=X_L-X_C \\
\therefore \quad & X_L=X_C+R
\end{array}
$$
