In a two-branch parallel RC circuit, impedance is:
A) less than either branch's opposition to current.
B) more than the resistive branch value.
C) more than the capacitive reactance branch value.
D) equal to the value of R.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a parallel RC circuit, the total impedance is less than the impedance of either branch due to the vector addition of the resistive and capacitive reactances, which leads to a lower overall opposition to current flow.
