Similarly,
i(t) = Im ej(t + i) = I ej(t)
where I = Im i ------ phasor current
CONCEPT OF IMPEDANCE AND ADMITTANCE
Impedance (Z) – represents the total =
opposition to the flow of alternating
current, expressed in ohms (Ω).
- represents the passive elements R, L, C and their combination in
the frequency domain
Admittance (Y) – the reciprocal of impedance, expressed in siemens (S)
If I = Im i is the resulting current drawn by a passive, linear RLC
circuit from source a voltage V = VmV, then
where
magnitude of the admittance
For the inductive circuit (series RL or parallel RL), the current lags the voltage
by an angle less than 90 (equal to the angle of the equivalent
impedance).
and
For the capacitive circuit (series RC or parallel RC), the current leads
the voltage by an angle less than 90 (equal to the angle of the
equivalent impedance).
