Formula
The capacitive reactance is calculated using:
$$X_{c} = \frac{1}{2 \times \pi \times f \times C}$$
Where:
- X_c = Capacitive reactance (Ohms)
- f = Frequency (Hz)
- C = Capacitance (Farads)
Example
For a frequency of 60 Hz and capacitance of 50 uF (0.00005 F):
$$X_{c} = \frac{1}{2 \times \pi \times 60 \times 0.00005} = 53.05 \text{ Ohms}$$
