Nickzom Calculator Calculates the Capacitive Reactance of a Simple AC Circuit

Last Updated on February 11, 2024

Capacitive reactance plays a crucial role in simple AC circuits, representing the opposition to the flow of alternating current caused by capacitors. For students and professionals navigating electrical engineering, understanding and calculating capacitive reactance are paramount and that’s why Nickzom Calculator provides a reliable solution for swiftly determining this essential component with precision.

According to Electronics Tutorials, capacitors that are connected to a sinusoidal supply produce reactance from the effects of supply frequency and capacitor size.

The capacitive reactance of the capacitor decreases as the frequency across it increases therefore capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to frequency.

The opposition to current flow, the electrostatic charge on the plates (its AC capacitance value) remains constant as it becomes easier for the capacitor to fully absorb the change in charge on its plates during each half cycle.

In Physics, Nickzom Calculator solves a whole lot of calculations and thereby relieves the stress on scientists. One of those calculations is on Simple AC Circuit
