Impedance • Definition: a general measure of how a circuit affects the current through it. • Impedance = resistance + reactance • Impedance is used to refer to the behavior of circuits with resistors, capacitors and other components. • In a resistive circuit, impedance=resistance.
Equipment Impedances • Each measuring device changes the circuit when you use it. • The impedance of the device helps you understand how much. • Device Impedances • Function Generator: 50 ohms • ‘Scope: 1Meg ohms • DMM (DC voltage): 10Meg ohms • DMM (AC voltage): 1Meg ohms • DMM (DC current): 5 ohms (negligible)
