Resistance Vs Reactance
Resistance and reactance together determine the magnitude and phase of the impedance through the following relations:
In many applications the relative phase of the voltage and current is not critical so only the magnitude of the impedance is significant.

Famous quotes containing the word resistance:
“The greatest, or rather the most prominent, part of this city was constructed with the design to offer the deadest resistance to leaden and iron missiles that might be cast against it. But it is a remarkable meteorological and psychological fact, that it is rarely known to rain lead with much violence, except on places so constructed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
