Definitions:

Capacitive Reactances

The opposition to current flow presented by a capacitor, dependent on the frequency of the applied AC signal and the capacitor's value.

Capacitance

The ability of a system to store an electrical charge when a potential difference exists between its conductors.

Reactive Power

The portion of electricity that oscillates between the source and load, not converted into useful work, often measured in Volt-Amperes-Reactive (VAR).

True Power

The actual power consumed by a device, calculated in watts as the product of voltage, current, and the cosine of the phase angle for AC circuits.
