Electrical opposition C1 formal technical
The opposition to the flow of alternating current caused by inductance or capacitance in a circuit, distinct from resistance.
- The total impedance of the circuit includes both resistance and reactance.
- Capacitive reactance decreases as the frequency increases.
- Inductive reactance is calculated using the formula XL = 2πfL.
