  • acoustic reactance

    acoustic impedance caused by the inertia and elasticity of the transmitting medium.

  • capacitive reactance

    the opposition of capacitance to alternating current, equal to the reciprocal of the product of the angular frequency of the current times the capacitance. Symbol: X C.

  • inductive reactance

    the opposition of inductance to alternating current, equal to the product of the angular frequency of the current times the self-inductance. Symbol: X L.

  • susceptance

    the imaginary component of admittance, equal to the quotient of the negative of the reactance divided by the sum of the squares of the reactance and resistance. Symbol: B.

  • conductance

    the ability of a system to conduct electricity, measured by the ratio of the current flowing through the system to the potential difference across it; the reciprocal of resistance. It is measured in reciprocal ohms, mhos, or siemens

  • impedance

    Electricity. the total opposition to alternating current by an electric circuit, equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the resistance and reactance of the circuit and usually expressed in ohms. Symbol: Z.
