Resistance vs Impedance
« on: September 10, 2018, 07:54:22 PM »
Resistance is a concept used for DC (direct currents) whereas impedance is the AC (alternating current) equivalent. Resistance is due to electrons in a conductor colliding with the ionic lattice of the conductor meaning that electrical energy is converted into heat.

What is the difference between resistance and impedance?

Putting a coil on a lathe with a magnet rotor is the correct but its almost always measured in AC before the rectifier.

Henry is unit of inductor. Converting into ohms means you want to calculate the inductive reactance. So, inductive reactance XL= omega x L

i.e. XL= (2 x pi x frequency) x L Ohms

L is inductance in Henry
