Resistance, Reactance & Capacitance

[m4tty]

Hi,

A Series circuit consists of a resistance of 6ohms connected in series with a capacitor with a reactance of 8ohms what is the impedance of the circuit?

a) 2ohms

B) 10ohms

c) 14ohms

Can anyone let me know whats the calculations for this one please

Thanks

Matt
