An RLC parallel circuit has an applied voltage of 240 volts. R = 48 Ω , XL = 100 Ω , and XC = 36 Ω . What is the total current?

A) 6.57 A
B) 7 A
C) 8.4 A
D) 9.67 A

Total Current

The combined current that flows in an electrical circuit, which, in parallel circuits, is the sum of the individual currents through each component.

RLC Parallel Circuit

A circuit consisting of a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C) connected in parallel.

Applied Voltage

The external voltage that is applied to an electrical device or circuit, which drives the current flow through it.
