RL Circuit - Complex Impedance

Complex Impedance

The complex impedance ZL (in ohms) of an inductor with inductance L (in henries) is

The complex frequency s is a complex number,

where

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

Famous quotes containing the word complex:

    “All propaganda or popularization involves a putting of the complex into the simple, but such a move is instantly deconstructive. For if the complex can be put into the simple, then it cannot be as complex as it seemed in the first place; and if the simple can be an adequate medium of such complexity, then it cannot after all be as simple as all that.”
    —Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
