Parallel RC circuit - AC Circuit

Physics Ninja looks at the parallel RC circuit. In this case the voltage is AC as opposed to DC like in my older video. The voltage across each element is found and also the current in each branch. Phasor diagrams are used to add voltages and currents.

i did not expect it would take that much time and effort to solve a fairly simple circuit. but i understood thanks

[@user-wc8ie7oz9l]

Thank you very much for your contribution! If there is an AC source is Zc always depicted as an imaginary number (1/iωC)?

[@PhysicsNinja]

Capacitors and inductors will have imaginary impedance but resistors will be real.

Thanks!

[@ashurbanipal5193]

thanks you

At about 9 minutes you have the real and the imaginary parts. Shouldn't the imaginary part be "R2(-iwR2C)" - you have -wR2C. Even if you are not listing "i" because it's in the "imaginary part" bit, isn't there an R2 squared? I'm just barely following, but I think that it should be squared. Maybe you'll square it in a bit? I'll continue watching now.

[@PhysicsNinja]

Yes, the R2 should be squared. I think the numerical values will be ok (fingers crossed). but I forgot the squared term for the algebraic part. Good catch

[@vv753]

Can't you just take the rootsquared of (xc + R2) squered and

[@vv753]

Get impedance that way
