If a resistor of resistance \(4 \Omega\), a capacitor of capacitive reactance \(6 \Omega\) and an inductor of inductive reactance \(9 \Omega\) are connected in series with an ac source, then the impedance of the circuit is

  1. A \(19 \Omega\)
  2. B \(11 \Omega\)
  3. C \(7 \Omega\)
  4. D \(5 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2}\) \(Z = \sqrt{4^2 + (9 - 6)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 3^2}\) \(Z = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25}\) \(Z = 5 \, \Omega\)
