Q:

The phase difference between the active component of an impedance parallel circuit and the voltage in the network is __________

A) 0 B) 90
C) 180 D) 360
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 0

Explanation: The active component in an impedance parallel network will always be in phase with the voltage in the circuit. Hence the phase difference is 0.

Q:

In a parallel circuit, current in each impedance is_____________

A) equal B) different
C) zero D) infinite
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) different

Explanation: In parallel circuits, the current across the circuits vary whereas the voltage remains the same. So, current in each impedance is different.
