How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the frequency (f) of the AC circuit in Hertz (Hz). For example, 60 Hz for standard household alternating current.
  2. Enter the inductance (L) of the inductor in Henrys (H). This is typically provided in the specifications of the inductor.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the inductive reactance (XL).
  4. The result will be displayed in Ohms (Ω).

Understanding Inductive Reactance

Inductive reactance (XL) is the opposition that an inductor offers to the flow of alternating current. It is determined by the inductance of the inductor and the frequency of the AC circuit. The higher the frequency or the inductance, the higher the inductive reactance.

The formula used for calculating inductive reactance is:

XL = 2 * π * f * L

Where:

  • XL = Inductive Reactance (in Ohms)
  • π = Mathematical constant Pi (~3.14159)
  • f = Frequency (in Hz)
  • L = Inductance (in Henrys)
