reactance and inductance?

Question

what is difference between reactance and inductance???

Answer 1

Reactance: Opposition to the flow of alternating current caused by the inductance and capacitance in a circuit rather than by resistance
The symbol for this variable is designated by "X"

Inductance: The property of an electric circuit by which an electromotive force is induced in it as the result of a changing magnetic flux or a circuit element, typically a conducting coil, in which electromotive force is generated by electromagnetic induction

Answer 2

Inductance is related to a component's (e.g., a wire, a coil, etc.) ability to resist changes in a magnetic field and is dependent on the components physical properties. For instance, a coil's inductance is usually given by its dimensions and the number of loops in the coil.

Reactance is the way inductance and capacitance show up in Ohm's law for circuits with time varying currents. Reactances are measured in ohms and are dependent on the value of the capacitance or inductance and the frequency of the current. Reactance for an inductor is:

Z = 2*pi*f*L where f = frequency of current and L = inductance.

Answer 3

The "INDUCTANCE" is the property of a coil to oppose any change in the current. It depends upon the number of turns in the coil, diameter of the coil, thickness of the wire used, the core material used etc. Its unit is "HENRY" and is denoted by the letter "L" . When this coil is connected in an AC circuit it offers an opposing force towards the flow of current. This opposing force depends upon the inductance and the frequency of AC. This opposing force is called "INDUCTIVE REACTANCE". Similarly, the capacitance also offers an opposing force called"CAPACITIVE REACTANCE". If both a capacitor and an inductor are connected in an AC circuit the resulting opposing force is called resultant reactance or simply "REACTANCE" and its unit is also "Ohms"

Answer 4

Inductance is a quantity that describes a property of a circuit element. Reactance is the effect of that inductance at a given frequency. A clear difference because the units for each is different.

Answer 5

Electrical reactance, the opposition to a change in voltage due to capacitance (capacitive reactance) or in current due to inductance (inductive reactance); the imaginary component of AC impedance.

Inductance is the property of an electrical conductor by which a change in current flowing through it induces an electromotive force in both the conductor itself and in any nearby conductors by mutual inductance.
