How Capacitive Reactance Works?

Capacitive reactance (symbol XC) is the resistance offered by a capacitor to an AC (alternating current) signal. It works like resistance but it changes which depends on the frequency of the signal and the value of the capacitor.

The formula to calculate capacitive reactance is:

XC = 1 / (2 × π × f × C)

Key Points:

Example:

This is why, capacitors are commonly used to filter out DC and pass AC especially in power supplies and signal processing.
