**Problem: Circuit Impedance Calculation**

A resistor with a resistance of 50 Ω is connected in parallel with an inductor with an inductance of 0.175 henry. The power source is 60 Hz. What is the impedance of the circuit?

**Explanation:**

To solve for the impedance of the circuit, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate Inductive Reactance (\(X_L\)):**
   - Use the formula: \(X_L = 2\pi fL\)
     - Where \(f\) is the frequency (60 Hz) and \(L\) is the inductance (0.175 H).
   
2. **Determine the Impedance of Each Component:**
   - The impedance of the resistor (\(Z_R\)) is purely real and equal to 50 Ω.
   - The impedance of the inductor (\(Z_L\)) is purely imaginary and given by \(jX_L\).

3. **Combine the Impedances in Parallel:**
   - Use the formula for combined impedance (\(Z\)) of parallel components:
     \[
     \frac{1}{Z} = \frac{1}{Z_R} + \frac{1}{Z_L}
     \]

4. **Calculate the Resultant Impedance (\(Z\)):**
   - Compute the real and imaginary components separately to find the total impedance.

By solving the above, you will find the combined impedance of the parallel resistor-inductor circuit.
