Data record qty.impedance.versus-resistance

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

Resistance is the in-phase, energy-dissipating part of impedance and reactance is the quadrature part that arises from inductance and capacitance; impedance combines the two as a vector sum, so its magnitude is never smaller than the resistance alone.
