How it has 4.16? The correct answer is 13 ohm.

It's parallel circuit connection that's why the equation for it,
Z = RXC / SQRT OF (R^2 + XC^2).
And for series connection as you calculated above method:
z = sqrt of r^2 + xc^2.
Thanks.

I agree with you @Dsce.
The answer is 13ohm.
The answer is 13ohm.

Z = R + jXc
= 12 + j5
= sqrt(12^2 + 5^2)
= sqrt144 + 25
= 13 ohm.
= 12 + j5
= sqrt(12^2 + 5^2)
= sqrt144 + 25
= 13 ohm.

Impedance values for, parallel circuit is,
Z = V/I.
=> IR/I = R. So R = Xc = 5ohm.
For series circuit, Z = R+jXc.
Z = V/I.
=> IR/I = R. So R = Xc = 5ohm.
For series circuit, Z = R+jXc.

It is given in parallel so net impedance is given:
Z = (R*-jXc)/R-jXc= -j60/5-j12 by rationalisation we get:
720-j300/168 now taking magnitude.
Square root(720^2+300^2)/169 == 4.6153.

Rathi is correct the formula is RXc/sqrt(R^2 +Xc^2).

Hello @Subbu,
The formula you have used is for parallely connected DC Resistance. Here we are given the reactance (resistance for ac analysis, the resistance a capacitor and an inductor introduces in a circuit is called reactance, which is given by Xc and Xl) and resistance. And as they are connected in parallel so the net resistance i.e. impedance will be R/sqrt (1+ (RWC) ^2).

Hello Vid,
Your concept is right but the calculation you have done, I think is not correct the result is 0.198 or 0.2ohm.
I can't understand how the other people gets the answer 4.7 ohm.
Please make it clear.

Impedance of RC Parallel circuit is RXc/(sqrt(Xc^2+R^2))
= 12x5/sqrt(25+144)
= 4.6154 ohms
= 12x5/sqrt(25+144)
= 4.6154 ohms
