Five infinite-impedance voltmeters, calibrated to read RMS values, are connected

Question

Five infinite-impedance voltmeters, calibrated to read RMS values, are connected as shown. NOTE: for sinusoidal currents and voltages, RMS values are equal to maximum values (amplitudes) divided by the square root of two. The given values are R = 180.0 ohms, L = 0.430 H , and C = 5.50 ?F. The amplitude of the generator EMF is 40.0 V.

(a) What is the reading of each voltmeter if the angular frequency of the AC generator is 270.0 rad/s? HINT: Remember that the voltmeters read RMS values.
the reading of voltmeter 1: 8.694 V
the reading of voltmeter 2:  5.608 V
the reading of voltmeter 3: 32.5253 V
the reading of voltmeter 4: 26.9173 V
the reading of voltmeter 5: 28.2843 V

(b) For the angular frequency used in part (a), consider the actual instant of time at which the EMF of the generator is +20.000 V and increasing. At this particular instant of time, what are the actual voltages across the passive circuit elements, or combinations of those elements? HINT: recall that the sum of the voltages of the passive elements must equal the generator EMF at every instant of time.
voltage across the resistor:   V
voltage across the inductor:  V
voltage across the capacitor:  V
voltage across the inductor-capacitor combination:  V

Explanation / Answer

Capacitive Reactance Xc = 1/(2?fC) = 1/?C
Inductive Reactance X? = 2?fL = ?L
Impedance Z = ?(R
