SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on applying Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) to a serial circuit with a resistor and inductor, specifically addressing a circuit with a 2 Ω resistor in series with an inductor. The calculated current, IZ, is 330.562 mA, but the proof is deemed incorrect due to the non-purely reactive nature of the branch. Participants are asked to determine the phase angle of the impedance in this circuit configuration.
