Reactance (Xl / Xc)

Compute frequency‑dependent opposition to AC by inductors and capacitors.

Frequency (Hz) Inductance L (H) Capacitance C (F)

Formulas

Inductive Reactance: X_L = 2πfL
Capacitive Reactance: X_C = 1 / (2πfC)

Tips

Higher frequency increases X_L but decreases X_C
In AC analysis, impedance Z combines R with X (vector sum)
