Impedance is a measure of the opposition that a circuit presents to a current when a voltage is applied. It is a complex quantity that combines the effects of resistance and reactance in an electrical circuit. Impedance is denoted by the symbol Z and is expressed in ohms (Ω). It is a fundamental concept in the field of electrical engineering and is used to analyze and design various electrical and electronic systems.

Impedance can be calculated using the formula Z = R + jX, where R is the resistance, X is the reactance, and j is the imaginary unit. The reactance can be further divided into inductive reactance (XL) and capacitive reactance (XC), depending on whether the circuit contains inductors or capacitors. The inductive reactance is given by XL = 2πfL, where f is the frequency and L is the inductance, while the capacitive reactance is given by XC = 1/(2πfC), where C is the capacitance.

The magnitude of the impedance, denoted by |Z|, is given by the formula |Z| = √(R^2 + X^2). The phase angle of the impedance, denoted by φ, is given by the formula φ = arctan(X/R). The impedance can also be represented in polar form as Z = |Z|∠φ.

Impedance is an important concept in the analysis of alternating current (AC) circuits, as it allows engineers to determine the current and voltage relationships in circuits containing resistors, inductors, and capacitors. It is also used in the design of filters, amplifiers, and other electronic circuits.
