Definitions:

Capacitive Reactance

A measure of opposition that a capacitor offers to alternating current (AC), dependent on the frequency of the current and the capacitor's capacitance.

Applied Frequency

The frequency, typically measured in hertz (Hz), at which an alternating current (AC) is supplied to a circuit or device.

Capacitor

An electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field, commonly used in circuits to filter, stabilize, or store voltage temporarily.

Capacitive Reactance

The opposition offered by a capacitor to the flow of alternating current, inversely proportional to the frequency of the current and the capacitance.
