of: a reactive circuit component in an a.c. circuit
is: the impedance of the circuit component. [P5.4]
has the symbol:
[P5.4]
has as its SI unit: the ohm
[P5.4]
generally depends: on the angular frequency of the alternating current
is exemplified: for a capacitor, by the reactance
[P5.4]
is exemplified: for an inductor, by the reactance
