**Category:** Electromagnetism  
**Subtype:** AC Circuits  
**Problem Type:** Impedance Calculation  

**Summary:** This problem involves calculating the total impedance \(Z\) of a series circuit that includes a pure resistor \(R\), an inductor with inductive reactance \(Z_L\), and a capacitor with capacitive reactance \(Z_C\). The goal is to determine the correct formula for \(Z\) from the given options.
