Definitions:

Parallel Circuit

An electric circuit in which the same voltage is applied across multiple paths, allowing current to divide among the paths.

Inductive Reactance

The opposition to the change in current flow in a circuit element caused by its inductance, affecting the phase angle between voltage and current in AC circuits.

Reactive Power

The component of electric power that oscillates between the source and load, associated with the energy stored in the field of an inductor or capacitor.

Inductive Reactance

The opposition that an inductor presents to alternating current, due to the inductor's ability to store energy in a magnetic field.
