Question:

An a.c. circuit contains 4Ω resistance wire in series with an inductance coil of reactance 3Ω. The impedence of the circuit is:

Options:

7 Ω

5 Ω

1 Ω

4/3 Ω

Correct Answer:

5 Ω

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 5 Ω

Impedance, $Z=\sqrt{R^2+{X_L}^2}$

$=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}$

$=5Ω$
