    What Equation Should I Use for Calculating Total Impedance in RLC Circuits?

    Thank you for the quick reply. Yes, it is a bit confusing. If you look at the picture (example 2), should I first calculate the part-impedances, then add them using the first equation in order to achieve the total impedance? Thanks ehild

    What Equation Should I Use for Calculating Total Impedance in RLC Circuits?

    Homework Statement Hello again! We have been given a couple of more advanced problems where the components are placed in series parallely. Check the image, the question is regarding what equation to use, in order to calculate the total impedance of the circuit. Homework Equations I...

    Finding current in parallel RLC Circuit

    No worries, if it makes you feel any better I felt that the frequency and peak voltage was missing as well. As you're saying omega is important.

    Finding current in parallel RLC Circuit

    Glad to hear that, we have used complex numbers in math but have not applied them to Physics yet. But how does one come to the equation: (1/Z)^2=(1/R)^2+(1/XL-1/XC)^2? Considering how the equation looks I would say that they relate to each other by a right angle triangle. How come? Is...

    Finding current in parallel RLC Circuit

    Hi Tim! Thank you The frequency is not given, would it be to any use? We know the resistance and reactances plus the total current, is that not sufficient?
