  4. IMPEDANCE Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

    The meaning of IMPEDANCE is something that impedes : hindrance.

  5. Impedance - HyperPhysics

    where I and V are the rms or "effective" values. The quantity Z is called impedance. For a pure resistor, Z = R.

  6. What is electrical impedance? | Definition from TechTarget

    Sep 13, 2024 · Impedance, denoted as Z, is an expression of the opposition that an electronic component, circuit or system offers to alternating or direct electric current. Impedance is a …

  7. What Is Impedance | AC Circuit Resistance And Reactance

    Impedance is the total opposition a cable or circuit offers to alternating current (AC). It combines resistance and reactance, measured in ohms (Ω), and determines how readily AC signals …

  8. What Is Electrical Impedance and Why Does It Matter?

    Aug 8, 2025 · Electrical impedance (Z) quantifies the total opposition a circuit presents to the flow of alternating current (AC). It is a broader concept than simple resistance, accounting for not …

  9. Impedance and Reactance - Electronics Club

    Impedance (symbol Z) is a measure of the overall opposition of a circuit to current, in other words: how much the circuit impedes the flow of charge. It is like resistance, but it also takes into …

  10. 17.4: Impedance - Physics LibreTexts
