An analytic expression for the surface impedance for electron heating in inductively coupled discharges is derived from the kinetic equation with the optimum ordering that {nu}{approximately}{omega}. Here, {nu} is the electron collision frequency, and {omega} is the frequency of the driven current inside the antenna coil. The expression is valid for both collisional and collisionless discharges, and can be employed in the modeling of the source. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
