1. reactance

   Reactance is a concept in electrical engineering which refers to the opposition that a circuit or a component of a circuit presents to the flow of alternating current. It is a complex form of resistance that includes elements of both resistance and capacitance or inductance. Reactance can either store energy, in case of a capacitor or inductor, or dissipate energy, like a resistor. It is measured in ohms.
