A circuit consists of Xa = j5 ohms, Xc = -j5 ohms, and R = 5 ohms, all connected in parallel. Find the equivalent impedance.
Added by Robert Z.
Step 1
It is denoted by Z and is measured in ohms. In a parallel circuit, the total or equivalent impedance can be found using the formula: 1/Z = 1/Z1 + 1/Z2 + 1/Z3 + ... Where Z1, Z2, Z3, ... are the impedances of the individual components. In this case, we have Show more…

Electrical Circuits An electrical circuit contains three resistors connected in parallel. If the resistance of each is $R_{1}, R_{2},$ and $R_{3}$ ohms, respectively, their combined resistance $R$ is given by the formula $$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\frac{1}{R_{3}}$$ Express $R$ as a rational expression. Evaluate $R$ for $R_{1}=5$ ohms, $R_{2}=4$ ohms, and $R_{3}=10$ ohms.

Rational Expressions
Resistors When two resistors of resistances $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ are connected in parallel (see figure), the total resistance $R$ satisfies the equation $$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}$$ Find $R_{1}$ for a parallel circuit in which $R_{2}=2$ ohms and $R$ must be at least 1 ohm.
