Impedance Calculator

The Impedance Calculator will calculate the:

  1. The impedance of a RLC circuit when resistance, capacitance and inductance are given

Calculation parameters: The conducting wire of circuit and material the inductor is made from, are both uniform and they have the same thickness everywhere; the source supplies AC current.

The Impedance of the circuit is Ω [Ohm]
Impedance of the circuit calculation
Z = √R2 + 2 × π × fd × L - 1/2 × π × fd × C2
Z = √2 + 2 × × × - 1/2 × × × 2
Z = √ + - 1/2
Z = √ + - 2
Z = √ + 2
Z = √ +

Impedance of the circuit Formula and Calculation

Z = √R2 + 2 × π × fd × L - 1/2 × π × fd × C2

This formula derives from

Z = √R2 + ωd × L - 1/ωd × C2

where

ωd = 2 × π × fd

is the driving angular frequency in the RLC circuit.
