What is meant by high impedance?

In electronics, high impedance means that a point in a circuit (a node) allows a relatively small amount of current through, per unit of applied voltage at that point. High impedance inputs are preferred on measuring instruments such as voltmeters or oscilloscopes.

Is high impedance good?

Headphones with higher impedance (25 ohms and over, approximately) demand more power to deliver high audio levels. As a result, they are protected from damage caused by overloading. Headphones with low impedance are more susceptible to blow outs when using more powerful amplifiers.

What is high impedance fault?

A high impedance ground fault results when a primary conductor makes unwanted electrical contact with a road surface, sidewalk, sod, tree limb, or with some other surface, or object which restricts the flow of fault current to a level below that reliably detectable by conventional overcurrent devices.

Is higher impedance better for speakers?

If you are mismatching, better a HIGHER impedance speaker than a lower one, since that will cause less strain on the output circuitry of the amplifier. Peak sound output will be a little less than with a lower impedance speaker, but good in the long run. So, same impedance speaker as amp, or higher.

Why should input impedance be high?

The answer is the high input impedance is good for the amplifier circuit to have a good amplification of the input signal other wise we get low voltage in, so low amplification. To get all the voltage from a source to a target without loss. you need high input impedance.
