Measuring Output Impedance

In this video I follow up on a viewer’s comment that was posted on my “Impedance Matching” video (link below).

Impedance Matching

The comment asked to demonstrate how you would go about measuring the Output Impedance of a laptop’s headphone jack.

Using a standard Multimeter, a resistor and a bit of ohms law, I demonstrate how this is achievable.

If you are uncertain about what impedance is, then you may find it useful to watch my “Impedance Explained” video here:-

Impedance Explained.

I also make reference to Voltage Divider circuits, which were previously explained in my “What Are Voltage Dividers” video here:-

What Are Voltage Divider Circuits?

I also highly recommend the UNI-T UT61E Multimeter used in this video:-
