Hi,
I am currently working on a project to show how RLC series circuits can be solved using complex numbers. I have worked through http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_2/chpt_5/2.html# and understand the process but when calculating for my figures I cannot find where the Ztotal value comes from. I get the adding of Zr+Zl+Zc, but it is the value of 1.5437kΩ /_ -80.680°
If anyone can help me out with how this value comes about that would be great.
