Definitions:

Total Capacitive Reactance

The overall opposition that a circuit presents to the flow of alternating current (AC) due to the capacitance in the circuit, measured in ohms.

Total Resistance

Refers to the cumulative resistance within an electric circuit, affecting the overall current flow.

Series RC

A circuit configuration consisting of a resistor (R) and capacitor (C) connected end-to-end or in series with each other, affecting the circuit's overall impedance.

Voltage Drop

The reduction in voltage across components in an electrical circuit, caused by the impedance or resistance of the components.
