Capacitive reactance
Enter frequency and capacitance to calculate ideal capacitive reactance.
Method and boundaries
Xc = 1 / (2πfC). The displayed value is the magnitude; ideal capacitor impedance is −jXc.
At 0 Hz the ideal capacitor is an open-circuit limit; reactance is shown as a named state, not infinity. ESR, leakage, dielectric losses, component ratings and code compliance are not evaluated.
Method and boundaries
Xc = 1 / (2πfC). At zero frequency, the ideal capacitor is an open-circuit limit and the result is a named state rather than infinity.
The tool reports magnitude; ideal capacitor impedance is −jXc. ESR, leakage, dielectric losses, component ratings and code compliance are not evaluated. SRC-002 · model 1.0.0 · user-input-v1.
