Zeranin, , just for the exercise I’m trying to scale my results to the generator voltage I’m using, and my calculation dont work out.
From your post reply #4, and your calculations, if I scale up to my generator voltage of 3Vpp, or 1.5Vp, or what ever, other than 1.0V, the current will change and so will the final angle.
Ie:
I = V/Z = 1.5/Z = 8.9mA
1/cos(0.89), theta=27.12 degrees, no correct.
No correct, because you did not follow my example properly!
Here is my example done properly for Vsig=1.5 volts
Xc=1/(wC)=135.79 ohms
Z = SQRT(R^2 + Xc^2) = 168.64 ohms
Set generator to 1.5 volts
I = V/Z = 1.5/Z = 8.895mA
Vresistor = IR = 0.8895 volts (at angle theta wrt the generator)
Vcapacitor = IXc = 1.2078 volts (at angle beta wrt the generator)
Then draw your right-angled voltage vector triangle, with a hypotenuse of 1.5, lying along the Real x-axis.
Let theta be the angle between this horizontal hypotenuse, and Vresistor
Cos(theta) = 0.8895/1.5, theta=53.63 degrees
From the triangle, beta=90-theta = 36.37 degrees
(or if you prefer, from Cos(beta)=1.2078/1.5)
So of course the angles are the same as before, and rot my socks, I do believe that my results match LTspice simulations.
I'll go further, and say that if you use LT spice to report the voltages directly across R and C, you will get an
exact match with my results, and any tiny difference will be due to LTspice, not the calculations.
My advice is to look very carefully at and try to understand all my calculations, because they are correct, and the method is easier than the method you are trying to use. If need be, I'll attach a sketch of the voltage vector diagram that I used, but you should be able to figure that out.
Then, try to duplicate these results using complex arithmetic.
