Series-Parallel CombinationMost networks in AC circuits can be broken into blocks no more complicated than the one below. The complex impedance approach provides the tool necessary to reduce such a combination to an equivalent impedance. This kind of combination may be encountered in the development of an AC Thevenin equivalent for the analysis of an AC circuit.

Impedance CalculationImpedances may be combined using the complex impedance method. The units for all quantities are ohms. A negative phase angle implies that the impedance is capacitive, and a positive phase angle implies net inductive behavior.
