Capacitor Reactance Formula

Capacitor reactance is the opposition of a capacitor to a change in current or voltage.

Capacitor reactance equals 1/2\[Pi] divded by the capacitance and frequency.

Formula

QuantityVariable[Subscript["X", "C"], "ElectricReactance"] == 1/(2*Pi*QuantityVariable["C", "ElectricCapacitance"]*QuantityVariable["f", "Frequency"])

symbol description physical quantity
XC capacitive reactance "ElectricReactance"
C electric capacitance "ElectricCapacitance"
f frequency "Frequency"
