In general, when the series resistance and reactance are equal, Z_{T is} A) 1.414 times either value B) 0.707 times either value C) the arithmetic sum of R and X D) 63.7% of either value

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the series resistance (R) and reactance (X) are equal, the impedance (Z) is found using the formula Z = sqrt(R^2 + X^2). Since R = X, Z = sqrt(2)*R, which is approximately 1.414 times either value.
