RLC parallel circuit phasors and current

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving a problem related to RLC parallel circuits, specifically calculating phasors and current. The user correctly identifies the angular frequency as ω=4000∏ or 12566.37 rads and calculates the inductive reactance (Xl) as 50.27Ω. The user confirms that the current (I) and voltage (Vac) are in phase when the inductive and capacitive reactances (Xl and Xc) are equal. The amplitude of the current is derived using the phasor diagram, resulting in I=0.007, which corresponds to I1.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of RLC circuit theory
  • Familiarity with phasor diagrams

Homework Statement


Sorry for the stupid question, but I want to be sure whether everything is correct.
Here is the problem, I think I managed to do all the parts.




2. The attempt at a solution
a)ω=2∏f; ω=4000∏ or 12566.37 rads
b)Xl = ωL = 4000∏x0.004=50.27Ω
c)I1=R x Vac
I2=Xl x Vac
I3=Xc x Vac
d) 3rd Image
e) It is stated that I and Vac are in phase. This can be done only if the two reactances(Xl and Xc ) are equal to each other.
f) C=1.583 x 10^(-6)
g) Here I am not sure that I used the right equation. They ask for the amplitude of the current I. Using the phasor diagram I used I=√((I1)^2+(I3-I2)^2) which gives 0.007, which is I1.

Since X_L = X_C what does that say about the impedance of L and C in parallel?
