5. Draw the phasor diagram for the circuit, noting that the voltage, not the current, is common to all three components since it is a parallel circuit. Be sure to label each of the three phasors, and put each current in the right position with a fixed voltage. 6. Calculate the impedance Z for this circuit. Remember that you need to use the AC version of Ohm's law appropriately, since the current is common. frac{1}{Z}=sqrt{(frac{1}{R})^{2}+(frac{1}{X_{L}}-frac{1}{X_{C}})^{2}}

Ohm's law for alternating current circuits is $E=I \cdot Z$ where $E$ is the voltage in volts, $I$ is the current in amperes, and $Z$ is the impedance in ohms. Each variable is a complex number. (a) Write $E$ in trigonometric form when $I=6\left(\cos 41^{\circ}+i \sin 41^{\circ}\right)$ amperes and $Z=4\left[\cos \left(-11^{\circ}\right)+i \sin \left(-11^{\circ}\right)\right]$ ohms. (b) Write the voltage from part (a) in standard form. (c) A voltmeter measures the magnitude of the voltage in a circuit. What would be the reading on a voltmeter for the circuit described in part (a)?
