An A.C. voltage is impressed across a pure resistance of 3.5 ohms in parallel with a pure inductance of impedance of 3.5 ohms?
Correct answer: C. both resistance and inductance carry equal currents
- A. the current through the resistance is more
- B. the current through the resistance is less
- C. both resistance and inductance carry equal currents
- D. none of the above
Explanation
Both branches have the same applied voltage and equal impedance magnitudes of 3.5 Ω. Therefore, I = V/Z gives equal currents in the resistance and inductance branches.
