AC Circuit 2


    A series RLC circuit (L = 340 ×10-3 H, C = 25 ×10-6 F, and R = 280 ohms) has an AC generator with amplitude εmax = 120 V and unknown frequency f.
    At time t = 0, the following voltages are measured:
Vad = Va - Vd = + 120 V,
Vbc = Vb - Vc = -10.05 V, and
Vcd = Vc - Vd = + 60.57 V.
    What is timax, the first time after t = 0 that the current in the circuit attains its maximum value?

timax = seconds
