AC theoryQuestion 987 of 1506

Changing from a series to a parallel connection with the same supply frequency changes which quantity?

  1. The inductive reactance of the inductor alone
  2. None of the individual component impedances
  3. The capacitive reactance of the capacitor alone
  4. The value of the resistor in the circuit
Show answer

Correct answer: None of the individual component impedances

The way parts are connected changes the total, but each part keeps its own impedance at that frequency.
