  1. Question 1

    Q1. A circuit contains a parallel combination of a resistor and an inductor. What is the equivalent impedance of the circuit?

    • A) R + Xl
    • B) R - Xl
    • C) R / Xl
    • D) Xl / R

    Answer: R + Xl

    Explanation: The equivalent impedance of a parallel combination of R and Xl is given by Z = R || Xl = R + Xl.
