Impedance

Definition: Impedance refers to the measure of opposition a circuit presents to the current when a voltage is applied, typically used to describe the ratio of voltage to current in an electrical circuit.

Senses:

1. Electrical Engineering: The total opposition offered by a circuit or component to the flow of alternating current.
2. Audio Engineering: The measure of the total opposition to the flow of electric current in audio equipment, especially in relation to speakers, headphones, and amplifiers.

Sample Sentences:

1. The impedance of the new amplifier is significantly higher than the previous one, resulting in a more balanced sound.
2. In order to maximize the audio quality, always match the speaker's impedance with the amplifier's specifications.
3. One way to reduce impedance in a circuit is by using higher gauge wires to allow for better current flow.
