Question
**Problem:**

An RLC series circuit has an applied voltage of 277 volts. The inductor has a voltage drop of 355 volts and the capacitor has a voltage drop of 124 volts. What is the voltage drop across the resistor?

**Solution:**

To find the voltage drop across the resistor in an RLC series circuit, we use the formula for the total applied voltage in a series circuit:

\[ V_{total} = V_R + V_L - V_C \]

Where:
- \( V_{total} \) is the total applied voltage.
- \( V_R \) is the voltage drop across the resistor.
- \( V_L \) is the voltage drop across the inductor.
- \( V_C \) is the voltage drop across the capacitor.

Given:
- \( V_{total} = 277 \) volts
- \( V_L = 355 \) volts
- \( V_C = 124 \) volts

Solving for \( V_R \):

\[ V_R = V_{total} - V_L + V_C \]

\[ V_R = 277 - 355 + 124 \]

\[ V_R = 46 \] volts

Therefore, the voltage drop across the resistor is 46 volts.
