(N/A) $1$. Inductive Reactance $(X_L)$: It is the opposition offered by an inductor to the flow of alternating current. Its formula is $X_L = \omega L = 2\pi f L$,where $\omega$ is the angular frequency,$f$ is the frequency,and $L$ is the inductance. The $SI$ unit is Ohm $(\Omega)$.
$2$. Capacitive Reactance $(X_C)$: It is the opposition offered by a capacitor to the flow of alternating current. Its formula is $X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} = \frac{1}{2\pi f C}$,where $C$ is the capacitance. The $SI$ unit is Ohm $(\Omega)$.
