For "SERIES" RC circuit Z=√(R^2+Xc^2).

But for "PARALLEL" RC circuit Z=R*Xc/√ (R^2+Xc^2).

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

Impedance z = sqrt(r^2+xc^2)

Then its value is 13 but how it is 4.46 tell me please?

Here, capacitor reactance is given so 12*5/(12+5)=3.5 ohms

Plz, say why is it wrong?

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

R and C are parallel
(R/1+RjWC)=R/sqrt(1+(RwC)2)=4.16

It's 4.615.

RXC/√xc^2+r^2.
You will get 4.615.

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

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

I agree with you @Dsce.

The answer is 13ohm.
