Describe the phase angle for the current and voltage of a capacitor C ite the equation for determining the total current in a parallel RC circuit. C alculate the total current in a parallel RC circuit, given the values for the currents in each branch. C alculate the total impedance of a parallel RC circuit. C ite the equation for determining the total phase angle of a parallel RC circuit in terms of branch currents. C alculate the total phase angle of a parallel RC circuit.
D escribe how to go about doing a complete analysis of a parallel RC circuit.
The total current is greater than the sum of the resistor and capacitor currents. RC circuit is found by applying a root-squares equation, so is the total current in a parallel RC circuit. In the AC version introduced here, you have a product over an 'AC-type' sum. As in resistor circuits, the total impedance of a parallel RC circuit is always less than the value of R or X C . Calculate the total current.
