Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a series RLC circuit, the total impedance is the vector sum of resistance (R) and the net reactance (X), which can be positive or negative. However, the magnitude of the impedance is always greater than or equal to R, as it is the hypotenuse of the impedance triangle.
