In this case, the reactance is purely capacitive, and its value is negative imaginary: XC=\u2212j39\u2009k\u03a9X_C = -j39\\,\\text{k}\\OmegaXC\u200b=\u2212j39k\u03a9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The impedance ZZZ is the vector sum of RRR (real part) and XCX_CXC\u200b (imaginary part). The phasor diagram forms a right triangle, with RRR as the base and XCX_CXC\u200b as the vertical side pointing downward (negative imaginary direction).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the magnitude of this vector ZZZ, we apply the Pythagorean theorem. This gives the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle, which corresponds to the magnitude of the total impedance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The values are converted into squared components: R2=729R^2 = 729R2=729 and XC2=1521X_C^2 = 1521XC2\u200b=1521, summed to give 2250. Taking the square root gives approximately 47.43 kilo-ohms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This calculation confirms the correct choice as <strong>47.4k ohms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-751.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-238499\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the figure below, R = 27 ?? and \\n= -j39 ??.
