Impedance using Power Factor Formula Elements

Variables
Impedance
Impedance (Z), in electrical devices, refers to the amount of opposition faced by the direct or alternating current when it passes through a conductor component, circuit, or system.
Symbol: Z
Measurement: Electric ResistanceUnit: Ω
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Resistance
Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω).
Symbol: R
Measurement: Electric ResistanceUnit: Ω
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Power Factor
Power Factor is defined as the ratio of the actual electrical power dissipated by an AC circuit to the product of the r.m.s. values of current and voltage.
Symbol: cosΦ
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be less than 1.000001.
