Impedance increment (impedance incr.)

Abbreviation

Impedance incr.

Definition in words

Increase of impedance

Note: Impedance(complex impedance) = R + jX, where R= electric resistance, j=aeric electrical current and X= reactance (ref 1)

Definition by equation

Systematic terms

Impedance increment of component B in system 1

Result type

Rational scale
  • Value sets are positive numerical values
  • Algebraic operations are allowed (a=nb; a≠nb)
Numerical values from 0-∞

Unit

Ohm (Ω), kΩ, MΩ, etc.

Ohm= kg x m2 x s-3 x A-2
