Homework Statement
Find the voltage drop across a resistor and capacitor in parallel. I am trying to understand how to deal with this using complex numbers. I may have a completely wrong notion of complex impedance. I thought I could treat the complex impedance like resistance, then take the modulus or real part (I believe I know the math, but not which to apply).
I= 100 milli Amps
R= 1000 ohms
C= 0.001Farads
freq.= 60Hz=377rad/s
Homework Equations
Z_c=1/(i*omega*C)
R_eq= (R*Z_C)/(R+Z_C)
The Attempt at a Solution
Do I apply the standard resistors in parallel formula then take the real part of the modulus? Or do I have a completely wrong conception on complex impedance.
