Ac voltage and current are often in phase, in something such as a resistor.
|
|
|
|
|
However, they can become out of phase when passing through a [[Capacitor]] or
|
|
|
|
|
[[Inductor]]. Capacitors are resistant to changes in voltage, causing voltage
|
|
|
|
|
and current to get out of sync. Inductors are resistant to chagnes in current,
|
|
|
|
|
causing voltage to get out of sync.

This getting out of sync is called reactance. The total reactance is called

|
Impedance. Impedance is measured in Ohms, shown as Z
