If I have the Phase then say 40deg and the magnitude say 10 then how can I
convert that into capasitance.
I have the following circuit:

___SIGGEN_____
¦ ¦
¦--/\/\/\/\-----¦ ¦---¦
  R_shunt Cx
¦ ¦
----V?----

I am measuring the voltage drop accross R_shunt and comparing that with the
siggen so I have V_R_shunt - SIGGEN = Z and on a scope I can measure
the phase. In other words I have the equiverlant info as you would find
when creating a Lissajour plot.
How can I find the capacitance of Cx with the info I have here?

Cheers

Wayne
