Impedance is the net reactance(for Capacitors and inductors in the circuit) / Resistance of the circcuit whereas reactance is the prperty of the individual passive components ( only capacitors n inductors) to resist the flow of charge.
Impedance.
1. The RLC series circuit is a very important example of a resonant circuit. It has a minimum of impedance Z=R at the resonant frequency, and the phase angle is equal to zero at resonance.AnswerThe impedance of an RLC circuit is the vector sum of the circuit's resistance, inductive reactance, and capacitive reactance -all of which are expressed in ohms. This applies whether the circuit is at resonance or not.
It doesn't. the impedance of the inductor will, following the rule j*w*l, where l is inductance, w is frequency in radians and j is the imaginary number designating this a reactance, not resistance.
The symbol for inductive reactance is XL.
The opposition to an alternating current offered by a coil, or inductor, is called impedance (symbol Z, measured in ohms) which, in turn, is made up of two components: resistance (symbol R) and inductive reactance (symbol XL). These three quantities are related as follows: Z2 = R2 + XL2.The resistance of an inductor is a fixed value which depends upon the length of the coil's wire, the cross-sectional area of the wire, and the resistivity of the material from which the wire is made.The inductive reactance of an inductor, on the other hand is directly proportional to the frequency of the supply. So, at high frequencies, an inductor's inductive reactance is very much higher than at low frequencies.So, at high frequencies, the impedance of the inductor is higher because its inductive reactance is higher.The current flowing through a coil is, by Ohm's Law: I = V / Z. So, at high frequencies, the inductor's impedance will be much higher than at low frequencies, which means that a very much smaller current will flow when the frequency is high compare to when the frequency is low.
An impedance diagram (sometimes called an impedance triangle) results when a series circuit's voltage phasor diagram is divided throughout by its reference phase (current) -this results in resistance (=VR/I), inductive reactance (=VL/I), capacitive reactance (=VC/I) and impedance (=V/I) andillustrates the Pythagorean relationship between the circuit's impedance, reactance, and resistance.
Impedance, resistance, and reactance.
The leakage reactance is one of the components of the reactance in the input impedance that is there when the load impedance is purely resistive. The leakage reactance is due to flux that fails to link both the primary and the secondary windings.
resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric charge
There is no physical relationship between resistance and capacitive reactance. But if someone tells you that the impedance of something: Z = 3 -4j, the real resistance is 3 and the reactive capacitance is -4.
Impedance.
You need to divide the supply voltage by the impedance of the load. The impedance of the load is the vectorial sum of its resistance and reactance, where reactance is proportional to frequency.
x/r ratio is reactance/resistance where reactance is impedance * frequency (60 hz)
There is pure resistance, inductive reactance, and capacitive reactance.
Since impedance is the vector sum of resistanceand reactance, and since reactance is a function of frequency, impedance only really applies to a.c. circuits. You could argue that, in a d.c. circuit, impedance is equal to resistance, but the term really isn't normally used in d.c.
Capacitive reactance.
Impedance is usually written in equations as Z. Impedance is the real resistance (usualyl referred to as R), and the imaginary / reactive opposition (using an imaginary number 'i' or 'j', depending on your area of study). Z = R + j*n, where 'n' is the reactive opposition.Additional AnswerCurrent, in an A.C. circuit, is opposed by the resistance(R) of that circuit and the reactance (X) of that circuit. Reactance may be 'inductive reactance' (XL) or 'capacitive reactance' (XC) -depending on the nature of the circuit.Inductive reactance is directly proportional to the supply frequency; capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to the supply frequency; resistance is independent of frequency.Impedance (Z) is the vector sum (not algebraic sum) of a circuit's resistance and reactance, and may be considered as the total opposition to the flow of A.C. current.Resistance, reactance, and impedance are each measured in ohms.
