An RLC parallel circuit has an applied voltage of 240 volts. R = 60 Ω , XL = 20 Ω , and XC = 36 Ω . What is the capacitive current?

A) 3.27 A
B) 4 A
C) 5 A
D) 6.67 A

Capacitive Current

The current that flows in a capacitor due to charging and discharging of its electric field, directly proportional to the rate of change of voltage across it.

RLC Parallel Circuit

A circuit configuration that includes a resistor (R), inductor (L), and capacitor (C) each connected between the same two points, providing multiple paths for current flow.

Applied Voltage

The voltage that is externally applied to an electrical component or circuit.

  • Determine the resistive and capacitive current in parallel RLC circuits.
