I was torn between C and B, but C is definitely right. Simple addition!

Agreed! C makes sense. Impedance just adds up in series.

I thought it was A) P = I * E at first.

It's C) ZT = Z1 + Z2 + Z3 ... + ZN.

I keep mixing up the series and parallel formulas, but I think D is for parallel circuits, so it can't be right for this question.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe the correct answer is C, since in series, you add the impedances directly.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about the formula for total impedance being different for series and parallel circuits.

I think the total impedance in a series circuit is just the sum of the individual impedances, so it might be C?
