It is possible to describe an element in a DC circuit by its resistance alone. In a DC circuit, a capacitor&#8217;s resistance corresponds to an open circuit (infinite resistance), whereas the resistance of an inductor comes in the form of a short circuit (zero resistance). As a result, capacitors and inductors would be wasted in an ideal DC circuit. Despite this, they are still used in real circuits since the voltages and currents are never ideally constant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Linquip provides you with a comprehensive overview of inductors, resistors, and capacitors.

On the other hand, AC circuits have more complexity because voltage and current alternate directions at a given frequency. AC circuits also have a property called reactance, which is different from DC circuits, which have resistance. Resistance and reactance make up impedance. We will review some basics and terms in this post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Resistance\"><\/span><strong>Resistance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is essentially friction that prevents current from flowing. Conductors (except superconductors!) contain it to some extent, most notably resistors. When an alternating current passes through a resistance, there is a voltage reduction that is in phase with the current. Symbolically, resistance is represented by the letter &#8220;R&#8221; and measured in ohms (\u03a9).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactance\"><\/span><b>Reactance<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reactance is basically inertia against current flow. The presence of this phenomenon can be found everywhere electric or magnetic fields develop in response to voltages or currents applied, but capacitors and inductors are particularly notable examples.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the alternating current passes through a pure reactance, there is a voltage drop with a 90\u00b0 phase difference with the current. Reactance can be expressed mathematically as the letter &#8220;X&#8221; and is measured in ohms (\u03a9).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impedance\"><\/span><b>Impedance<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The term encompasses resistance and reactance that oppose current flow. All circuits and components contain it.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26563\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26563\" style=\"width: 414px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/impedance.gif\" alt=\"Guide to Impedance and Reactance\" width=\"414\" height=\"356\" title=\"\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26563\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">How to calculate impedance (Reference: electronics-tutorials.ws)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When an alternating current passes through an impedance, there is an out-of-phase voltage drop between 0\u00b0 and 90\u00b0. An impedance is mathematically represented by the letter &#8220;Z&#8221; and measured in ohms (\u03a9), in complex form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A perfect resistor has resistance, but not reactance. There is no resistance in a perfect inductor or capacitor, but there is reactance in them. Since all components have impedance, it is logical to convert the values of each component (resistance, inductance, capacitance) into impedance terms before analyzing an AC circuit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A component&#8217;s impedance phase angle can be defined as the phase shift between the voltage across it and the current through it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voltage drop and current are both in phase for a perfect resistor, so the impedance angle is 0\u00b0 for a resistor. Inductor impedance phase angles are +90\u00b0, since for perfect inductors, voltage drop necessarily leads current by 90\u00b0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of a perfect capacitor, the voltage drop always lags the current by 90\u00b0, making the capacitor&#8217;s impedance phase angle -90\u00b0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The impedance of a system is a complex number composed of a real and an imaginary part:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">Z=R+jX<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Z represents the complex impedance. X represents reactance, while R represents resistance. Resistance has always positive value, but reactance can also be negative. Power is dissipated by resistance in a circuit as heat, whereas energy is stored by reactance as electric or magnetic fields.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AC impedances behave similarly to DC resistances: i.e., they add in series and decrease in parallel. This is how Ohm&#8217;s Law would look if it was based on impedance instead of resistance:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">U=IR (Ohm&#039;s law for DC circuits) <\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\underline{U}=\\underline{I}.\\underline{Z}<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U represents the complex voltage between two points, I denotes the complex current, and Z indicates the complex impedance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially, complex voltages and currents can seem a bit overwhelming, so let&#8217;s go over them. An AC circuit is typically in a steady state when one or more power sources create a sinusoidal output at the same frequency. In this case, it can be shown that all the voltages and currents oscillate at the same angular frequency, \u03c9. There is, however, a phase difference between these voltages and currents. Using the example below, a cosine wave can be used to represent the voltage in an AC circuit:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">u_t=U_M.{\\mathrm{cos} \\left(\\omega t+{\\phi }_U\\right)\\ }<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">where u(t) refers to the voltage between two points in a circuit as a function of time, U<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> represents amplitude, \u03c9 corresponds to the angular frequency, and \u03a6<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> indicates phase. As a result, this voltage has a complex representation:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\underline{U}=U_M.e^{j{\\phi }_U}=U_M({\\mathrm{cos} \\left({\\phi }_U\\right)+j.{\\mathrm{sin} \\left({\\phi }_U\\right)\\ })\\ }\\ <\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, one signal is used as a phase-reference signal on a circuit-wide scale. Therefore, all other signals (voltages and currents) are phased based on the assumption that the phase of that signal is zero.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Connection in Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simple addition results in the equivalent impedance of two series impedances:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">Z_e=Z_1+Z_2<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Addition of two complexes can be performed easily by following these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">Z_1=R_1+{jX}_1<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">Z_2=R_2+jX_2<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">Z_e=\\frac{R_1+R_2}{j\\left(X_1+X_2\\right)}<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the following formula, one can calculate the <\/span><b>effective impedance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or magnitude of the impedance:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">{\\left|Z_e\\right|}^2=R^2+X^2<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Connection in Parallel<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is first necessary to define admittance in order to determine the equivalent impedance of two impedances that are paralleled. A siemens (1 S) is the unit of admittance, and it is used to indicate how easily current flows through an element, and its value is the inverse of its impedance:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">Y=\\frac{1}{Z}<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When two impedances are connected in parallel, their equivalent admittance is equal to the sum of their individual admittances:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">Y_e=Y_1+Y_2<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">Z_e=\\frac{1}{Y_e}<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Impedance of a Resistor<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The behavior of resistors in AC circuits is the same as that of those in DC circuits. In general, a resistor&#8217;s impedance consists of only the real part, which equals its resistance. Therefore, a resistor&#8217;s impedance can be written as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">Z_R=R<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Z represents the impedance, and R represents the resistance. Clearly, a resistor has no reactance, so it cannot store energy. The current flowing through a resistor will also be in phase with the voltage when a voltage is applied across it.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26566\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26566\" style=\"width: 469px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/resistor.png\" alt=\"Guide to Impedance and Reactance\" width=\"469\" height=\"237\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/resistor.png 469w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/resistor-300x152.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 469px) 100vw, 469px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26566\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Resistor phasor diagram (Reference: <strong>toppr.com<\/strong>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Impedance of a Capacitor<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Components called capacitors introduce a certain amount of capacitance into a circuit.
