Capacitive reactance calculator

Online calculator for formulas used in electronic circuit design and electrical engineering.

Basic electric calculations:

Ohm's Law, Ohm's Law with power, DC power, AC real power, LC resonant frequency, Capacitor charging/discharging, Capacitive reactance, Capacitive current + reactive power, Capacitor energy, Capacitor Δ energy, RC discharging, Inductor square pulse, Inductive reactance, Inductive current + reactive power, Inductor energy, 2 parallel resistors, 3 parallel resistors, 2 parallel inductors, 2 series capacitors, System bandwidth, Bandwidth ↔ rise time, frequency ↔ period

Wire and winding calculations:

Diameter ↔ cross section ↔ AWG, Wire resistance, Wire weight, Current density, Wire R thermal drift

Calculate Capacitive reactance: 1F, 460kHz, kΩ


This calculation can calculate the capacitive reactance XC of a capacitor knowing its capacitance and the frequency. You can also calculate the capacitance knowing the desired reactance and frequency, or calculate the frequency knowing the capacitive reactance and capacitance.   XC = 1 / (2πfC)

Enter any 2 values, the 3rd one will be calculated:

Capacitance: -0.1 +0.1 -1 +1 -10 +10 -100 +100
Frequency: -0.1 +0.1 -1 +1 -10 +10 -100 +100
XC: -0.1 +0.1 -1 +1 -10 +10 -100 +100

Capacitive reactance formula says:

•The capacitive reactance (Xc) of a 1F (one farad) capacitor at 460kHz (four hundred and sixty kilohertz) is 345.9890067215nΩ (three hundred and fourty-five point nine eight nine zero zero six seven two one five nanoohms).
•For a 345.9890067215nΩ (three hundred and fourty-five point nine eight nine zero zero six seven two one five nanoohms) capacitive reactance at 460kHz (four hundred and sixty kilohertz), you need a 1F (one farad) capacitor.
•A 1F (one farad) capacitor would have a 345.9890067215nΩ (three hundred and fourty-five point nine eight nine zero zero six seven two one five nanoohms) reactance at 460kHz (four hundred and sixty kilohertz) frequency.
