Updated on: September 25th, 2023

In a parallel RC circuit, 3mA through the resistive branch and 4mA through the capacitive branch. The total RMS value of the current is
A. 5 mA
B. 3 mA
C. 4.82 mA
D. 7.07 mA
Select the correct answer from the above-given options

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.
