Hello,
I was just wondering if someone could please check my maths and show me where I went wrong...
Im trying to find the total add admittance of this circuit:

So far I have:
Y = (1 / 2<0°) + (1 / 2.5<-90°) + (1 / 1.41<45°)
Multiplying across by
(2<0°)(2.5<-90°)(1.41<45°) / (2<0°)(2.5<-90°)(1.41<45°)
Yeilds :
Y = (2.5<-90°)(1.41<45°) + (2<0°)(1.41<45°) + (2<0°)(2.5<-90°)
Y = (3.53<-45°) + (2.82<45°) + (5 < -90°)
Converting to cartesian format =
2.5 - 2.5i + 1.99 +1.99i - 5i
= 4.49 - 0.51i = 4.52 < -6.48° = Y.
This is fine and grand, however if I just get the reciprocals and sum them :
Y = (1 / 2<0°) + (1 / 2.5<-90°) + (1 / 1.41<45°)
Y = (0.5<0°) + (0.4<90°) + (0.71<-45)
= 0.5 + 0.4i + 0.5 -0.5i
Y = 1 - 0.1i = 1 < 5.71°
These two answers are completely different, shouldn't they be the same?
Or have I gone wrong with my math somewhere?
Ive tried this like 3 time and got the same answers each time.
Any help is massively appreciated...
