The opposition to current in an electrical circuit is called its impedance. The impedance z in a parallel circuit with two pathways satisfies the equation: 1/z + 1/z1 + 1/z2 where z1 is the impedance (in ohms) of pathway 1 and z2 is the impedance of pathway 2.
a) The impedance of each pathway in a parallel circuit is found by adding the impedances of all components in the pathway. Use the table to find z1 and z2.
b) Find the impedance z.
