Impedance or Alternating Current Re.
sistance.

In an ordinary direct current circuit
the opposition to the flow of a current
through the circuit Is determined by
the resistance of the circuit and the
relation between current, voltage and
resistance is expressed by Ohm's Law,
which states that e equals / times r
where K Is the electromotive force in
volts: is the current In amperes and
r Is the resistance in ohms.
When we come to consider alternat-
ing currents and radio frequency cur
rents belong to the alternating current
class because of the many reversals of
directions of current flow, there are
other factors which must be consid-
cred.
Energies Explained.
We know, through the law of con-
servation of energy that no energy is
lost when one form of energy is
changed into another. In some cases
it is lost apparently because it appears
in form which is of no use to us but
in other cases the Transformation is
Of real benefit to us because 1t enables
us to change one form of energy
which Is not suitable to our needs into
another form of energy which is more
adapted for use.
Ordinarily, resistance in a circuit
