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:

    “We must open our eyes and see that modern civilization has become so complex and the lives of civilized men so interwoven with the lives of other men in other countries as to make it impossible to be in this world and out of it.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
