Reactance and real impedance
Capacitor ESR/ESL or inductor winding resistance, including a frequency sweep.
Development preview. Check the assumptions below before relying on a result. Calculations run in your browser.
How it calculates
Model: ZC = ESR + j(ωESL − 1/ωC); ZL = Rw + jωL
Assumptions
- Frequency-independent lumped ESR, ESL and winding resistance; an inductor’s parallel self-capacitance is not modelled.
