Definitions:

Applied Frequency

The frequency at which an alternating current (AC) or electromagnetic wave is applied to a circuit or device.

Series Connection

An electrical circuit configuration in which components are linked in a sequential manner, so the same current flows through each component without branching.

Frequency Source

An electronic component or circuit that generates a specific frequency or range of frequencies, often used in telecommunications and signal processing.

Capacitive Reactance

The measure of a capacitor's opposition to changes in voltage, affecting AC flow without dissipating energy, inversely proportional to the frequency.
