Measuring impedance (Z)

All circuit components, resistors, capacitors, and inductors
have parasitic components. These include, for example,
unwanted resistance in capacitors, unwanted capacitance in
inductors, and unwanted inductance in resistors. Thus,
simple components should be modeled as complex
impedances.
Set up your LCR meter to measure impedance as shown in
Figure 2- 9.
