AC Parallel Circuit Formulas

In this topic, we have listed some of the AC Parallel circuit formulas.

For RL and RC Parallel Circuit:

RL Parallel Circuit
RC Parallel Circuit

For RL Parallel and RC Parallel Circuit
\(I= \sqrt{I_{R}^{2}+I_{L}^{2}}\)

\(I= \sqrt{I_{R}^{2}+I_{C}^{2}}\)
I= Total line current
IR= Current flow through the resistance
IL= Current flow through the inductance
IC= Current flow through the capacitance
For RL:
\(\frac{1}{Z}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{R^2}+\frac{1}{X_L^2}}\)
For RC :
\(\frac{1}{Z}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{R^2}+\frac{1}{X_C^2}}\)
Z= Impedance
R= Resistance
XL= Inductive Reactance
XC= Capacitive Reactance
For RL:
\(\tan{\phi}=\frac{V_L}{V_R}\ =\frac{X_L}{R}\)
For RC:
\(\tan{\phi}=\frac{V_C}{V_R}\ =\frac{X_C}{R}\)
Circuit current I lags behind the applied voltage V by \(\phi^{\circ }\)

For parallel RLC Circuit:

RLC Parallel Circuit
For RLC Parallel:
\(I= \sqrt{I_R^2 + (I_L – I_C)^2}\)
I= Total line current
IR= Current flow through the resistance
IL= Current flow through the inductance
IC= Current flow through the capacitance
For RLC Parallel:
\( Y = \sqrt{G^2 + (B_L – B_C)^2}\)
\(= \sqrt{G^2 + B^2}\)
Where,
\( Y = \frac{1}{Z} \)
\( G = \frac{1}{R}\)
\(B_L = \frac{1}{\omega L} \)
\(B_C = \omega C\)
Y =Admittance
G=Conductance
BL=Inductive Susceptance
BC= Capacitive Susceptance
B= Net Susceptance= BL– BC
\(\cos \phi = \frac{G}{Y}\)
\(\tan \phi = \frac{B}{G}\)
Y =Admittance
G=Conductance
B= Net Susceptance= BL– BC
For RLC Parallel Resonance:
\(f_r = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}\)

\(\omega_r = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\)
fr = Resonance frequency
L= Inductance
C= Capacitance
