Impedance


 

In electrical engineering, Impedance is a measure of opposition to a sinusoidal electric current. The concept of impedance generalizes Ohm's law in AC circuit analysis. Unlike electrical resistance, the impedance of an electric circuit is a complex number. Oliver Heaviside coined the term impedance in July of 1886.
