# Phase Difference Between dynamic voltage and input current

I have a RLC circuit, and I know if we wish to calculate the phase difference between Voltage and Input current then the formula is

$$\phi = \tan^{-1} \frac{X_L -X_C}{R}$$

But as we already know, phase difference between inductor voltage and input current is 90°. I know how to calculate it through waveform. $$\phi = 360 f \,\mathrm dT$$

But I have no idea how do I calculate it through first formula. In short, what will be the question mark in the following expression and why? $$\phi = \tan^{-1} \frac{X_L}{?}$$.

Also for the capacitor voltage and input current.

I know am weak in electronics and my basics too that's why am seeking help from you guys, kindly correct me if I was wrong in any of my presumptions.

$$V = L\dfrac{\mathrm di}{\mathrm dt}$$
Or, if you insist on using your original formula, ARCTAN(infinity)=90 degrees. It's infinity because $$\X_L/0\$$ is infinity and this is because resistance is 0 Ω.
• Thanks sir and one more follow up query, if there is practical inductor suppose I have inductor with internal resistance 10 ohm them the formula will be $$X_L / 10$$ right? Jul 31, 2021 at 8:50
