1. Example:
Find and compare the capacitive reactance for
a 100μF and a 0.022μF capacitor at 60Hz.
For the 100μF capacitor:

2. XC =
1 / 2 π f C
=
1 / 2 x 3.1416 x 60 x (100 x 10-6)
=
26.52 Ω

3. For the 0.022μF capacitor:
XC =
1 / 2 π f C
=
1 / 2 x 3.1416 x 60 x (0.022 x 10-6)
=
0.121kΩ

4. Frequency(hertz) Reactance(Ω) Reactance(Ω)
100μF 0.022μF
60 26.5258 0.120 x 106
120 13.2629 0.060 x 106
2500 0.6366 2.89 x 103

5. Frequency(hertz) Reactance(Ω) Reactance(Ω)
100μF 0.022μF
60 26.5258 0.120 x 106
120 13.2629 0.060 x 106
2500 0.6366 2.89 x 103

6. Frequency(hertz) Reactance(Ω) Reactance(Ω)
100μF 0.022μF
60 26.5258 0.120 x 106
120 13.2629 0.060 x 106
2500 0.6366 2.89 x 103
