  1. Question 1

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

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

    Answer: R + Xl + Xc

    Explanation: The equivalent impedance of a series combination of R, Xl, and Xc is given by Z = R + Xl + Xc.
