Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In an RLC circuit, if the resistance is 6Ω, inductive reactance is 8Ω, and capacitive reactance is 4Ω, what is the total impedance? (2021)
  • Step 1: Identify the values given in the problem. We have resistance (R) = 6Ω, inductive reactance (XL) = 8Ω, and capacitive reactance (XC) = 4Ω.
  • Step 2: Calculate the difference between inductive reactance and capacitive reactance. This is XL - XC = 8Ω - 4Ω = 4Ω.
  • Step 3: Square the resistance value. R² = 6² = 36.
  • Step 4: Square the result from Step 2. (XL - XC)² = 4² = 16.
  • Step 5: Add the results from Step 3 and Step 4. Total = R² + (XL - XC)² = 36 + 16 = 52.
  • Step 6: Take the square root of the total from Step 5 to find the total impedance. Z = √52.
  • Step 7: Calculate the square root of 52. Z ≈ 7.21Ω (approximately).
