The Wheatstone bridge, invented in 1833, measures impedance using two fixed resistors and one variable resistor. Modern impedance bridges have multiple circuits and can test various electrical devices. AC circuits are more complex due to capacitor leakage, which can be solved with a Wagner ground loop. A modern impedance bridge is a device used to […]
Electrical impedance measures how easily electricity flows through an AC circuit, combining resistance and reactance. It is used in medical diagnostics, with electrical impedance imaging showing promise in early breast cancer detection. EIT involves placing electrodes on the body and measuring voltage differences. Electrical impedance, often simply called impedance, is a measurement used to describe […]

Impedance measures how much a circuit opposes electricity flow. Resistance causes energy loss and reduces current flow. Capacitance and inductance contribute to impedance for AC. Capacitive reactance decreases with increasing frequency, while inductive reactance increases. Capacitors store and release electric charge, while inductors induce opposing currents. When combined, their effects depend on wiring and frequency. […]
