Capacitive Reactance Calculator

Capacitive Reactance refers to the opposition of capacitance to alternating current which is equal to the reciprocal of the product of the angular frequency of the current times of the capacitance. The Capacitive Reactance is denoted by the symbol 'Xc'. The relationship of capacitive reactance to resistance is because capacitive reactance is the resistance of the capacitor.

Current passing through any two parallel transmission line due to the dielectric property of the conductor then the capacitance effect is generated between them is called as capacitance reactance.

Example:
Calculate the Capacitive Reactance for the given details.
Frequency (f) = 100 Hz
Capacitance(C) = 50 H

Solution:
Apply Formula:
X_c = 1/2πfC
X_c = 1/6.28*5000
X_c = 1/31400
X_c = 3.1847 ohm

Capacitive Reactance X_c = 3.1847 ohm
