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:

    “Young children constantly invent new explanations to account for complex processes. And since their inventions change from week to week, furnishing the “correct” explanation is not quite so important as conveying a willingness to discuss the subject. Become an “askable parent.””
    —Ruth Formanek (20th century)
