  1. What is Impedance? A 5 Minute Introduction - Physics Forums

    Aug 2, 2019 · The impedance of a load (a combination of components) in an AC current is a complex number. Impedance depends on frequency (except for pure resistances).

  2. Inductor Impedance vs Inductive Reactance: Clarification Needed

    Mar 17, 2012 · Hello, i just want to clarify, is there a difference between the inductor impedance or inductive reactance XL. inductive reactance XL = 2pi*fL is this the same for inductor …

  3. Why does the impedance of inductor change with frequency?

    Oct 14, 2011 · The power stored in an inductor is E=0.5LI2 which is independent of frequency However, the impedance is ωL. So, what makes the impedance increase with...

  4. Why does the resistance of an inductor vary with frequency?

    Nov 16, 2008 · The resistance of an inductor varies with frequency due to changes in its impedance, which includes both resistance and reactance. Inductors are designed by winding …

  5. Understanding Frequency Effects on Impedance: Resistors, …

    Jun 29, 2009 · While working in a lab this summer, I've been reading up on impedance and AC circuits as much as I can, considering I have to present at the symposium here in August. I'm …

  6. What does negative impedance mean? - Physics Forums

    Feb 17, 2014 · I could see that capacitor impedance is mostly negative. Does the negative sign has any significant meaning? Also why do people convert impedance to admittance for circuit …

  7. Why do capacitors and inductors have imaginary impedance?

    May 8, 2005 · Consider an AC source with series elements (resistor,inductor, capacitor). In order to determine information from the circuit it is useful to consider impedance. So here's the …

  8. Meaning of zero/infinite impedance - Physics Forums

    Dec 14, 2015 · I was calculating the impedance of a capacitor and inductor of ## 1 \\mu {\\text F}## and ##1 {\\text H}## respectively, at ##1000 \\frac {\\text rad}{\\text s}## in both series …

  9. How Do I Combine Capacitor and Inductor Impedances in Parallel?

    Feb 12, 2009 · Homework Statement How do I combine these into an equivalent impedence? I'm dealing with complex impedence, but I'm not sure how to make them into an equivalent …

  10. Understanding Parallel Impedance - Physics Forums

    Apr 21, 2011 · Parallel impedance in AC circuits involves understanding the relationship between resistors and capacitors, where the impedance of a capacitor is represented as an imaginary …
