Inductive Reactance Calculator

The Formula

The formula for calculating inductive reactance is:

\[X_L = 2\pi fL\]

Where:

• X_L: Inductive reactance (in ohms, Ω)
• π: Pi (approximately 3.14159)
• f: Frequency (in hertz, Hz)
• L: Inductance (in henries, H)

Calculation Steps

1. Identify the inductance (L) in henries and frequency (f) in hertz
2. Multiply the frequency by 2π
3. Multiply the result by the inductance
4. The final result is the inductive reactance in ohms

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the inductive reactance for an inductor with 0.1 H inductance at a frequency of 1000 Hz:

\[X_L = 2\pi \times 1000 \times 0.1 = 628.32 \Omega\]
