A parallel RL circuit has an AC source of 80 volts at a frequency of 600 Hz. The current through the resistor is 3.4 mA and the current through the inductor is 2.6 mA. What's the circuit current?

Question

A parallel RL circuit has an AC source of 80 volts at a frequency of 600 Hz. The current through the resistor is 3.4 mA and the current through the inductor is 2.6 mA. What's the circuit current? 

Answer 1

The circuit current is just the sum of the individual currents which for this problem is 3.4mA + 2.6mA =6mA.
