In this episode of Electronic Basics I will tell you all about the concept of Impedance. That means I will demonstrate how capacitors and inductors act as "resistors" with an AC voltage and thus change the magnitude and phase of the current flow. Afterwards I will show you a simple impedance calculation with a resistor and capacitor in series. And at the end you will understand that the Impedance is an important concept when it comes to AC circuits with R,L,C components.
