pedance, the electtical 'tenn for Friction 'in 'AC electricity. In a
direct current DC circuit, this Impedance is called Resistance.
However, both are expressed in the unit. of measure call~
Ohms. � � � � � � �. � � � �. � �

*s _proportional with the. pre5Sllfe and inversely_ pr.<?~onal
with the friction. Similarly, in electric circuit,_1he current is proportional
with the voltage and inversely proportional with the
