Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the reactance (X) of the capacitor in a parallel RC circuit is much greater than the resistance (R), the total impedance (Z) of the circuit is approximately equal to the resistance (R), because the capacitive branch's impedance becomes very high, making the resistive path dominant in determining the total impedance.
