Combinação Série - Paralelo

Series-Parallel Combination

Most networks in AC circuits can be broken into blocks no more complicated than the one below. The complex impedance approach provides the tool necessary to reduce such a combination to an equivalent impedance. This kind of combination may be encountered in the development of an AC Thevenin equivalent for the analysis of an AC circuit.

Calculation

The parallel part of the impedance can be put in the form

which can be rationalized by the operation :

,

and when terms are collected the results can be added to Z₁ , giving the equivalent
