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 ordinary speech the words perception and sensation tend to be used interchangeably, but the psychologist distinguishes. Sensations are the items of consciousness—a color, a weight, a texture—that we tend to think of as simple and single. Perceptions are complex affairs that embrace sensation together with other, associated or revived contents of the mind, including emotions.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
