resistance
elelctric current
Rate of flow of charge is called electric current. Generally we knows current means flow.... here rate of flow of charge means how much charge flows in a given time is called electric current
There is pure resistance, inductive reactance, and capacitive reactance.
current
Impedance.
Total resistance.
resistance
In a DC circuit . . . resistance. In an AC circuit . . . impedance.
I oppose alternating current. Direct is the only way for me. That is 1 in opposition.
Capacitive reactance.
In the simplest case, that would be resistance - but there is also another type of opposition (only relevant for AC) called reactance. The combined effect of resistance and reactance is called impedance.
Resistance
Answer: Inductive reactance is the opposition to the change in current in an electrical circuit and is abbreviated Xl. Answer: The opposition to current flow is called resistance (for DC), or impedance (for AC; often just called resistance); the unit for both is the ohm.
Assuming you are talking about an AC circuit, then the total opposition to the flow of current in an R-C circuit is called its impedance (symbol: Z), measured in ohms. This is the vector sum of the circuit's resistance (R) and its capacitive reactance (XC) -each also measured in ohms.
The term Impedance (Z) is used to quantify the opposition to current flow in a circuit.
The opposition of current flow is measured in ohms. For DC circuits it is resistance and for AC circuits it is impedance.
