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:

    War is pillage versus resistance and if illusions of magnitude could be transmuted into ideals of magnanimity, peace might be realized.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
