Impedance and Admittance Formulas for RLC Combinations

Here is an extensive table of impedance, admittance,
magnitude, and phase angle equations (formulas) for
fundamental series and parallel combinations of
resistors, inductors, and capacitors. All schematics
and equations assume ideal components, where
resistors exhibit only resistance, capacitors exhibit
only capacitance, and inductors exhibit only   Your Logo
inductance.

For those unfamiliar with complex numbers, the "±j"

operator signifies a phase of ±90°. Voltage across a 
capacitor lags the current through it by 90°, so -j is
used along with its capacitive reactance (-j/ω C).
Voltage across an inductor leads the current through
it by 90°, so +j is used along with inductive
reactance (jω L).

"M" is the mutual inductance between inductors.

"ω " is frequency in radians/second, and is equal to
2 π times frequency in cycles/second.

This is probably one of the most comprehensive collections you will find on the Internet.
