Impedance describes a measure of opposition to alternating
current (AC). Electrical impedance extends the concept of
resistance to AC circuits, describing not only the relative
amplitudes of the voltage and current, but also the
relative phases. When the circuit is driven with direct
current (DC) there is no distinction between impedance and
resistance; the latter can be thought of as impedance with
zero phase angle.

The symbol for impedance is usually and it may be
represented by writing its magnitude and phase in the form .

1.The magnitude of the complex impedance is the ratio of
the voltage amplitude to the current amplitude.
2.The phase of the complex impedance is the phase shift by
which the current is ahead of the voltage.
3.The ratio between resistance and Reactance.

SI unit is Ohm.
In AC circuit, Z=V/I Ohms.

Answer / k.prakashchandra

The' AC resistance 'is called impedance.It is also measured
in ohms.

bit confused - am i correct in thinking that to determine line to line voltage in a star config 110v 3 phase 4 wire distribution system i would use a voltmeter? I have a circuit configured as an unbalanced load, consisting of three incandescent lamps (1x40w, 1x60w, 1x100w - all 110v rated)connected in a star configuration to a 110v 3 phase 4 wire distribution system. I want to find out what types of meters i would use to obtain: a) each line to line voltage b) the line to neutral voltage across each load c) current flowing in each line and load d) current flowing in the neutral conductor e) power supplied to the loads im assuming i would be using ammeters in series along each line and voltmeters in parallel across each line to neutral? Also how could i predict these meter readings before taking them and with which formulae? Any help would be greatly appreciated A.
