Best Answer

You may be mixing up 'impedance' with 'apparent power'.

Impedance is the vector sum of an a.c. load's resistance and reactance, and is expressed in ohms. Apparent power is the vector sum of true power and reactive power, and is expressed in volt amperes.

Apparent power is also the product of the square of the load current and the impedance of the load.

Which is better high input impedance or low input impedance and why?

That depends on the output impedance. In electronic we use voltage bridging, that is a relative low output impedance to a higher input impedance. Usualy the input impedance is more than ten times higher then the output impedance. An input impedance is called also a load impedance or an external impedance. An output impedance is called also a source impedance or an internal impedance.


How to distinguish between characteristic impedance and input impedance?

The characteristic impedance or surge impedance belongs to uniform transmission lines.In electronic gears we use voltage bridging, that is a relative low output impedance to a higher input impedance. Usualy the input impedance is more than ten times higher then the output impedance.An input impedance is called also a load impedance or an external impedance.An output impedance is called also a source impedance or an internal impedance.


Input impedance is greater than to load impedance?

In electronic gears we use voltage bridging, that is a relative low output impedance to a higher input impedance. Usualy the input impedance is more than ten times higher then the output impedance.An input impedance is called also a load impedance or an external impedance.An output impedance is called also a source impedance or an internal impedance.


Why is output impedance kept low?

To get all the audio voltage from a source to a target without loss you need voltage bridging, that is a relative low output impedance to a higher input impedance. Usualy the input impedance is at least ten times higher then the output impedance.An input impedance is called also a load impedance or an external impedance.An output impedance is called also a source impedance or an internal impedance.


Why input impedance is in parallel and output impedance is in series?

That is not the case. Scroll down to related links and look at "Measurement of input impedance and output impedance".

What is apparent impedance of a motor?

commonly for motors we use 20% impedance..


What is the ratio of apparent power to true power?

The ratio of apparent power to true power is called 'admittance', expressed in siemens. Admittance is the inverse of impedance.


How do you convert percent impedance of transformer to impedance value?

The apparent impedance looking into a transformer from one side will not be the same as looking in it from the other, which is why percent impedance is used. If you are looking from the high voltage winding (I'm labeling #1) to the low voltage winding (#2), you must scale the percent impedance as follows: (% impedance) x (Winding #1 nominal voltage)^2 / (transformer base VA)

What is meant by reflected impedance?

reflected impedence is a tool to analyse resonant coupling..


What is meant by the term capacitive resistance?

That term to me is incorrect it should be capacitance impedance. Resistance is linear impedance. CAPACITANCE will follow a vector caused by the capacitor value.


What is meant by matching?

Impedance matching is the electronics design practice of setting the input impedance of an electrical load equal to the fixed output impedance of the signal source to which it is connected. That is done usually in order to maximize the power transfer and to minimize all reflections from the load. Zinput = Zoutput.

What is meant by the terms acoustic impedance and attenuation?

Acoustic impedance is the measurement that indicates how much sound pressure the vibration of molecules at a given frequency is generated. Attenuation refers to the gradual loss in intensity through a medium, such as light and sound in water.
