AC Impedance Teaching Lab
Explore how resistors, coils and capacitors affect an AC circuit. Compare series and parallel circuits at a chosen frequency.
What circuit model does this calculator use?
Each row describes an ideal R, L, or C component in ohms, henries, or farads. At the entered frequency, impedances are R, jωL, and 1/(jωC). Choose a single series or parallel network and inspect the combined result.
