Capacitive Reactance
X_c = 1/(2·π·f·C)
What it says
How much a capacitor opposes alternating current, falling as frequency rises.
Symbols
| Symbol | Quantity | Dimension |
|---|---|---|
X_c | Capacitive reactance (Ω) | M L^2 T^-3 I^-2 |
f | Frequency (Hz) | T^-1 |
C | Capacitance (F) | M^-1 L^-2 T^4 I^2 |
Work it out
Enter what you know. No account needed.
Fill in all but one: f, C, X_c are all empty.
