RC Circuit - Complex Impedance

Complex Impedance

The complex impedance, ZC (in ohms) of a capacitor with capacitance C (in farads) is

The complex frequency s is, in general, a complex number,

where

  • j represents the imaginary unit:
  • is the exponential decay constant (in radians per second), and
  • is the sinusoidal angular frequency (also in radians per second).

Famous quotes containing the word complex:

    “The human mind is so complex and things are so tangled up with each other that, to explain a blade of straw, one would have to take to pieces an entire universe.... A definition is a sack of flour compressed into a thimble.”
    —Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
