Reactance
Lesson Flashcards: Impedance of Alternating Current Circuits Physics
A property of capacitors and inductors that affects instantaneous current and instantaneous potential difference in an alternating current circuit
Inductive reactance
The reactance of an alternating current circuit due to the inductance of the circuit
Capacitative reactance
The reactance of an alternating current circuit due to the capacitance of the circuit
Impedance
The tendency of a reactive alternating current circuit not to carry a current
