The term impedance, applied to a circuit containing capacitance and resistance, is the phasor result of the resistance and capacitive reactance.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Impedance in a circuit containing both resistance (R) and capacitance (C) is indeed the phasor sum of the resistance and the capacitive reactance (X_C), taking into account both the magnitude and phase differences between them.
