Question

What is the difference between capacitive reactance and inductive reactance?

Answer 1

INDUCTIVE REACTANCE—The opposition an inductor offers to ac is called inductive reactance. ... CAPACITANCE IN AC CIRCUITS—A capacitor in an ac circuit opposes any change in voltage just as it does in a dc circuit. PHASE RELATIONSHIPS OF A CAPACITOR—The current leads the voltage by 90º in a capacitor (ICE).
