In AC circuit analysis, **phasor representation** allows you to solve for voltages and currents using complex numbers. For a **series RLC circuit**, the total impedance `Z` is given by the formula:

`Z = R + j(ωL - 1/(ωC))`

where `R` is resistance, `L` is inductance, `C` is capacitance, `ω` (omega) is the angular frequency (`ω = 2πf`), and `j` is the imaginary unit. The **current amplitude** `I` in the circuit is found using Ohm's Law for AC: `I = V / |Z|`, where `V` is the voltage amplitude and `|Z|` is the magnitude of the impedance. The **phase angle** `θ` between the source voltage and the current is given by the argument (angle) of the impedance: `θ = arctan((ωL - 1/(ωC))/R)`.
