Electrical Impedance - Resistance Vs Reactance

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 resistance we make to our passions is due to their weakness, not our strength.
