Word	Definition
reactive powernoun	The imaginary component of the power of an alternating current circuit; the product of the voltage and that part of the current that is out of phase with the voltage.
impedancenoun	(physics) A measure of the opposition to the flow of an alternating current in a circuit; the aggregation of its resistance, and inductive and capacitive reactances; the ratio of voltage to current treated as complex quantities.
antiresonancenoun	(physics) the condition, in an electric circuit containing a capacitor and coil in parallel and in which the alternating current line voltage and the resultant current are in phase, in which the impedance approaches infinity.

memresistancenoun	(physics) Alternative form of memristance. [(physics) Electrical resistance that varies according to the history of electric charge that has flowed through a device]
magnetoimpedancenoun	(physics) The analogy to impedance in an alternating magnetic flux
active powernoun	The real component of the power of an alternating current circuit; the product of the voltage and that part of the current that is in phase with the voltage
ohmic resistancenoun	(electricity) That portion of the apparent resistance or impedance of a circuit which depends only upon the dimensions of the conductors, their temperature, and the materials of which they are composed.
