Impedance (Z)

• Impedance is the total circuit opposition to


current flow.
• It consists of pure resistance (R) and
reactance (X).

Impedance (Z)
• In a series RC circuit, VC and VR are 90°
out of phase.
– IC and IR are in phase
• Consequently, XC and R are also 90° out of
phase.
– R leads XC
• Total impedance seen by the source is the
vector sum of the two oppositions.
