reactance


of: a reactive circuit component in an a.c. circuit

is: the impedance of the circuit component.   [P5.4]

has the symbol:    [P5.4]

has as its SI unit: the ohm    [P5.4]

generally depends: on the angular frequency of the alternating current

is exemplified: for a capacitor, by the reactance    [P5.4]

is exemplified: for an inductor, by the reactance    [P5.4]
