1) Impedance is the ratio of voltage to current in an alternating current circuit containing both resistance and reactance.
2) Impedance is represented as a complex number and can be calculated as the square root of the sum of the squares of resistance and reactance.
3) In an impedance triangle, the angle between resistance and reactance is always 90 degrees due to the quadrature relationship between voltage and current in a pure inductor or capacitor.

by Oliver Heaviside was a British a electrical engineer and mathematician. in July 1886. Arthur Kennelly was the first to represent impedance with complex numbers in 1893. Impedance
Circuits that contain a mixture of both
resistance and reactance (either capacitive reactance or inductive reactance or both) are said to exhibit impedance . Impedance, like resistance and reactance, is simply the ratio of 𝑉 applied voltage to the current flowing. Z= 𝐼 where Z is the impedance in ohms ( Ω ), V is the alternating potential difference in volts (V) and I is the alternating current in amps (A). The impedance triangle The impedance triangle takes into account the 90° 𝒁= 𝑹𝟐 + 𝑿𝟐 phase angle and from it we can infer that the impedance of a series circuit ( R in series with X ) is where Z is the impedance (in Ω ), X is the reactance, either capacitive or inductive given by: (expressed in Ω ), and R is the resistance (also in Ω ). Summary
Resistance and reactance combine together to make
impedance. In other words, impedance is the resultant of combining resistance and reactance in the impedance triangle. Because of the quadrature relationship between voltage and current in a pure capacitor or inductor, the angle between resistance and reactance in the impedance triangle is always 90°. EXAMPLE Z = 𝑅2 + 𝑋 2 = 302 + 402 = 2500 A resistor of 30 Ω is connected = 50 Ω in series with a capacitive reactance of 40 Ω.
