RC Parallel Circuit

A circuit configuration where a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C) are connected alongside each other and share the same two nodes, resulting in a specific impedance.

R

In electrical engineering, symbolically represents resistance, the property of a material that opposes the flow of electric current, measured in ohms (Ω).

Z

Often represents impedance in electrical circuits, a measure of opposition to AC including both resistance and reactance.
