I was calculating the impedance of a capacitor and inductor of ## 1 \mu {\text F}## and ##1 {\text H}## respectively, at ##1000 \frac {\text rad}{\text s}## in both series and parallel configurations. I found the impedance to be 0 and infinity in the two cases, which is correct. But now I'm just wondering, what exactly does this mean for a real circuit? Since there are individual components in this circuit with a finite impedance, but zero (or infinite) total impedance in the equivalent circuit, what exactly are the properties of this circuit? I guess I'm just trying to understand: what exactly is the meaning of an impedance in this case?
