The difference between impedance and resistance


My Dad would be ashamed for me for writing this thread (he had a background in electrical engineering) but can someone explain the differnce between impedance and resistance (other than the former is for ac and the latter dc) as it pertains to audio circuitry?

As to inductance the motion of a charge (which is current) causes a magnetic field.

Agreed. And the magnetic field can be shown to be a relativistic effect (Einstein - special relativity) of the pure electrical field. It all depends on your frame of reference.
