In such circuits, the parallel circuit is first reduced to an equivalent series circuit and then, as usual, combined with the rest of the circuit. For a parallel circuit,
Equivalent series resistance
Equivalent series reactance
AdBlock-2
(ii) By Symbolic Method
Consider the circuit of Figure (A). First, equivalent impedance of parallel branches is calculated and it is then added to the series impedance to get the total circuit impedance. The circuit current can be easily found.
