Answer: A. 5 mA
In a parallel RC circuit, 3mA through the resistive branch and 4mA through the capacitive branch. The total RMS value of the current is 5 mA.
Solution:
Given that in the parallel RC circuit,
current through the resistive branch = 3 mA
current through the capacitive branch = 4 mA
therefore, the total RMS current is = √(32+42)=5 mA
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
