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:

    “In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
