Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a parallel RL circuit, total current is the phasor sum of the resistive and inductive currents. Using Pythagorean theorem, the total current would be the square root of the sum of the squares of resistive and inductive currents, which is 2.83 A.

If the Resistive Current Is 2 a and the Inductive
