Reactance Calculator

The calculators below find the reactance of capacitors and inductors at a specific AC frequency.

Capacitive Reactance Calculator (XC = 1 / (2pfC)):

Enter Capacitance:
      

Arrow XC = ?

Enter Frequency:
      

Inductive Reactance Calculator (XL = 2pfL):

Enter Inductance:
      
Arrow   XL = ?
Enter Frequency:
      

Formulae:

Capacitive reactance:

XC = 1 / (2 * pi * f * C), where f is the frequency and C is the capacitance in Farads

Inductive reactance:

XL = 2 * pi * f * L, where L is the inductance in Henrys
