The complex impedance $\underline{Z}_C$ is given as 
\begin{align*}
\underline{Z}_C &= {{1}\over{{\rm j} \cdot 2\pi \cdot f \cdot C }} \\
                &= {{-{\rm j}}\over{2\pi \cdot  40 \cdot 10^3 ~\rm Hz \cdot 4.95 \cdot 10^{-9} ~\rm F }} \\
                &= -{\rm j} \cdot 803.81... ~\rm \Omega \\
\end{align*}

b) Determine the absolute value of the resulting impedance of the series circuit using an impedance vector diagram. 
Pay attention to the correct dimensioning.
