🔍 Key Concepts

• Inductive reactance (XL) is opposition to AC current due to inductors • Capacitive reactance (XC) is opposition to AC current due to capacitors • How resistance and reactance together affect AC circuits is described by a single overall quantity

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when you combine resistance with reactance in an AC circuit, do you still only talk about reactance, or is there a broader term? • Think about which option refers to a total or overall opposition to AC current, including both resistance and reactance, not just one type. • Which choice is commonly represented in formulas with the symbol Z in AC circuit analysis?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options refer only to reactance (due to inductors and capacitors) and which refer to the total opposition to AC in the circuit. • Recall that resonance is a special condition in an AC circuit, not a general measure of opposition—verify if that fits the question wording. • Confirm which term is defined as the vector sum of resistance (R) and net reactance (XL − XC) in AC theory.
