1) Numerical example – performance of resistors with frequency
(same package and construction assumed)
Parasitic capacitance and
inductance
Resonant frequency
For low value resistors the inductive reactance became dominant even before the resonant
frequency is reached. For example, at 1 MHz, a 20 nH inductance has an impedance of 0.125 Ω.
If the nominal value of the resistor is 0.1 Ω, the resistor is behaving mostly as an inductance.
2. Find the resistance and internal inductance of a round wire of radius 0.5
mm made of
a) Copper (=5.8x107 S/m, =1)
b) Aluminium (= 0.6, =1), and
c) Iron (= 0.1, = 500)
at frequencies 50 Hz, 1 kHz, 1MHz and 1 GHz.
