AC Circuits: Calculating the Total Impedance Problem #1

No comments :

A 100-ohm resistor, 5mH inductor, and a 10uF capacitor are connected in series to a 7V (Volts), 1kHz (kiloHertz) source. Calculate the total reactance and impedance of the circuit.
See how to get the equivalent reactance here. We need the equivalent reactance in order to calculate for the total impedance.

Here is how to get the total impedance, if you do not know yet.

Solution:
Z_t = R + jX_{eq}
Z_t = R + j(X_L - X_C)
Z_t = 100\Omega + j(31.42\Omega - 15.92\Omega)

Rectangular form:
Z_t = 100\Omega + j15.5\Omega

Polar form:
Z_t = 101.19\angle8.81^{\circ}\Omega
