Definitions

n.名词 noun
  1. 1
    • : Electricity. the opposition of inductance and capacitance to alternating current, expressed in ohms: equal to the product of the sine of the angular phase difference between current and voltage and the ratio of the effective voltage to the effective current. Symbol: XCompare capacitive reactance, inductive reactance.
    • : Acoustics. acoustic reactance.

Examples

  • Such a response, known in psychology as reactance, generally is short-lived.

  • Find the reactance of a choke coil having a resistance of 10 ohms, when its impedance is 50 ohms.

  • The essential parts of a Tungar Rectifier are: A bulb, transformer, reactance, and the enclosing case and equipment.

  • The light obtainable through a reactance is not of the best quality and reactances are not much used.

  • If a reactance is used in place of a rheostat in an alternating-current circuit, the loss of energy is greatly reduced.

  • The combined effect of resistance and reactance is called impedance.
