Load Impedance

Load impedance is a measure of how much a device or circuit resists electrical current when connected to a power source. It combines resistance, inductance, and capacitance, affecting how much current flows and how much power is dissipated. Think of it like the resistance a water pipe offers to flow; higher impedance means less current flow, while lower impedance allows more. Properly matching load impedance with the source ensures efficient power transfer and optimal device performance, preventing issues like signal loss or damage.
