Electrical reactance is a measure of how much a circuit impedes the flow of alternating current (AC) due to the presence of inductance and capacitance, rather than resistance. Unlike resistance, which dissipates energy as heat, reactance stores energy in electric or magnetic fields and causes a phase shift between the voltage and current waveforms.
