SINGULAR POINTS IN THE SOLAR CHROMOSPHERE . ... In the structure of the solar chromosphere, containing information on the configuration of the magnetic field, we have found and identified all the main types of the singular points ( see Fig. 1 ), which are known as inherent features of the 2-D vector field. ...

... Impedance . Electrical impedance, or simply impedance, describes a measure of opposition to a sinusoidal alternating current (AC). Electrical impedance extends the concept of resistance to AC circuits, describing not only the relative amplitudes of the voltage and current, but also the relative phases. ... Resistance is the real part of impedance; a device with a purely resistive impedance exhibits no phase shift between the voltage and current. ...
