An electrical engineer is working with a parallel AC circuit. The circuit draws 10 ohms on a resistive branch, and the angle of the total impedance is 15°. What is the total impedance?
A purely resistive impedance will always have a phase angle of exactly 0o (ZR = R Ω ∠ 0o). A purely inductive impedance will always have a phase angle of exactly +90o (ZL = XL Ω ∠ 90o).
