Problem
Consider the AC circuit below. We will assume that the circuit is in steady-state. Thus, the voltage at nodes 1 and 2 are given by v1 = VS cos ω t and v2 = VR cos ( ω t + θ ) where VS is the voltage of the source, ω is the frequency (in radians per second), and t is time. VR is the magnitude of the voltage drop across the resistor, and θ is its phase.
