An air conditioner connected to a 103 V rms AC line is equivalent to a 20 resistance and a 1.68 inductive reactance in series. a) What is the impedance of the air conditioner

20.07ohms

Explanation:

Impedance is defined as the opposition to the flow of current through the elements of the circuit.

Impedance for R-L AC circuit is expressed as Z = √R²+XL²

R is the resistance

XL is the inductive reactance.

Given resistance of the air condition = 20 ohms

Inductive reactance XL = 1.68 ohms

Z = √20²+1.68²

Z = √400+2.8224

Z = √402.8224

Z = 20.07 ohms

Hence the impedance of the air conditioner is 20.07ohms

the force on the thing and the distance the force moves the thing

thermal energy is the answer
