Hi!
I got RCL-parallel, I know current I (for Z), Ir, Ic and Il, so how can I calculate the Z from these informations? (I know voltage source value 10V , R 500 ohm ,L 2,5 mH and C 0,7 uF but it was mentioned that calculate Z with only using currents).

Ohm's law my friend
Rich (BB code):
if V = I * Z then
 
Z = V / I
That's not acting...It's ALGEBRA!
To compute the branch impedances you don't need the inductance or capacitance values.
To compute the reactances you also need to know the frequency.

I know that E=IZ but if I need to calculate Z only using branch currents (I know frequency)? Any ideas? There is something about "I is equal to Z and Ic equal to Xc".. Meaby I cheat and use ohm's law..
