Comparison of Inductive Reactance and Capacitive Reactance
Capacitive Reactance XC
Inductive Reactance XL
Inversely proportional to the frequency of the applied voltage Directly proportional to the frequency of applied voltage
XC inversly proportional to the capacity of capacitor XL directly proportional to the value of the inductance
The capacitive reactances make the applied voltage lag behind the current can be used to control the A.C. without wastage of energy The inductive reactance effect is to make the voltage lead the current
This also can utilize to control A.C. without wasteage of energy.
