Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dividing the phasor diagram of an a.c. parallel circuit by the reference phasor will result in the admittance diagram, which is a graphical representation of the admittance of each branch in the circuit. Admittance is the reciprocal of impedance, so this diagram can also be used to determine the impedance of each branch if needed. Therefore, option B is the best choice. The impedance diagram, option A, would be obtained by dividing the reference phasor by the phasor diagram, while a power diagram, option C, would require additional calculations beyond simple division of the phasor diagram.
