Hi,

I some have problems regarding the parallel RL circuit and it is the admittance magnitude. I have tried to apply the solution that was given to me in the text book. Here is my attempt on the question:

"R=2 Ohms, L=19 H & e is a 300 V, 18Hz power supply. Calculate the magnitude of the admittance of the circuit?"

The solution:

6.28x19 H x 18Hz=214.88

1/2=0.5

1/214.88=0.046

0.5^2+0.046^2 square root=502


I'm really lost. Thanks.

First step - check the decimal placement on your calculation of inductive reactance.

BTW - the methodology used in the rest looks OK to me. If your numbers above are accurate - you'll note that the inductor makes very little difference to the operation of the circuit - especially after the "first step" above.
