Definitions:

Inductive Reactance

The opposition that inductors present to current change in AC circuits, measured in Ohms.

Power Factor

A dimensionless number between -1 and 1 that represents the phase difference between the voltage and current in an alternating current (AC) electrical circuit.

Parallel Circuit

A circuit configuration where components are connected across each other's points, allowing multiple paths for the current to flow.

Inductive Reactance

A property of an electrical circuit element that opposes the change in current flow, especially notable in coils or inductors, affected by frequency and inductance.
