  1. Question 1

    Q1. An AC circuit has a resistance of 10 ohms and an inductive reactance of 10 ohms. What is its impedance?

    • A) 14.14 ohms
    • B) 20 ohms
    • C) 10 ohms
    • D) 0 ohms

    Answer: 14.14 ohms

    Explanation: Z = √(R^2 + X_L^2) = √(10^2 + 10^2) = √(200) = 14.14 ohms. Option B is incorrect due to wrong calculation.
