What is the phase shift between total current and voltage in the circuit of a 100 ohm resistor connected in parallel with a capacitor that has a reactance of 100 ohm A. 180 degree B. 30 degree C. 45 degree D. 75 degree E. None of the above

180 degree
30 degree
45 degree
75 degree E. None of the above

The correct answer is $\boxed{\text{B) 30 degrees}}$.

In a parallel RLC circuit, the phase angle between the current and voltage is given by the following formula:

$$\phi = \arctan \left(\frac{X_C}{R}\right)$$

where $X_C$ is the capacitive reactance and $R$ is the resistance.

In this case, $X_C = R = 100\Omega$,

so the phase angle is:

$$\phi = \arctan \left(\frac{100\Omega}{100\Omega}\right) = 30^\circ$$

The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the phase angle between the current and voltage in a parallel RLC circuit.
