Solve the Problem ZZ Can Be Calculated Using the Equation 1Z=(1Z1+1Z2)\frac { 1 } { Z } = \left( \frac { 1 } { Z _ { 1 } } + \frac { 1 } { Z _ { 2 } } \right)

Question 278

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-In a parallel electrical circuit, the impedance ZZ can be calculated using the equation
1Z=(1Z1+1Z2) \frac { 1 } { Z } = \left( \frac { 1 } { Z _ { 1 } } + \frac { 1 } { Z _ { 2 } } \right)
where Z1\mathrm { Z } _ { 1 } and Z2\mathrm { Z } _ { 2 } are the impedances for the branches of the circuit. The phase angle measures the phase difference between the voltage and the current in an electrical circuit. If the impedance Z\mathrm { Z } is expressed in the form a+bi,θa + b i , \theta can be determined by the equation tanθ=b/a\tan \theta = b / a . Determine the phase angle θ\theta (in degrees) for a parallel circuit in which Z1=10+20i\mathrm { Z } _ { 1 } = 10 + 20 \mathrm { i } and Z2=30+10i\mathrm { Z } _ { 2 } = 30 + 10 \mathrm { i } .
