In parallel circuits I_L and I_C have opposite phase angles, the result is A) a single net reactive line current B) two reactive line currents C) total current less resistive current D) increased impedance

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In parallel circuits with opposite phase angles, the reactive components can partially or completely cancel each other out, resulting in a single net reactive line current. This is because the inductive and capacitive reactances can subtract from each other, leading to a net reactive effect that is less than the sum of the individual reactances.
