impedance vector analysis

Impedance vector analysis is a method used to understand how electrical devices or materials respond to electrical signals. It visualizes the complex interaction between resistance (power loss) and reactance (energy storage) as a vector in a graph. The length of the vector indicates the overall opposition to current, while its angle shows the balance between resistance and reactance. This analysis helps engineers optimize circuits, diagnose issues, and improve performance by providing a clear picture of how components behave across different frequencies.
