What is reactance?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. Opposition to the flow of alternating current caused by capacitance or inductance
Reactance is the opposition that capacitors and inductors give to alternating current. Opposition caused by resistance is just resistance, not reactance.
Tip: Reactance comes from L and C, with AC.
