Reactance does not consume energy. It stores energy. It does not perform work. Only the resistance performs work. We have the stored energy unable to perform work, hence it is imaginary.
Assuming that "imaginary" refers to i, then the answer is yes.Assuming that "imaginary" refers to i, then the answer is yes.Assuming that "imaginary" refers to i, then the answer is yes.Assuming that "imaginary" refers to i, then the answer is yes.
an imaginary number is imaginary so no (i guess) this answer kind of sucks
If a number is pure imaginary then it has no real component. If it is a real number, then there is no imaginary component. If it has both real and imaginary components, then it is a complex number.
-125 is NOT an imaginary number.
An imaginary number is a number that has the square root of -1 as one of its factors.
It means the "Reactance". It's the imaginary part of impedance. Z=R+jX
Impedance is usually written in equations as Z. Impedance is the real resistance (usualyl referred to as R), and the imaginary / reactive opposition (using an imaginary number 'i' or 'j', depending on your area of study). Z = R + j*n, where 'n' is the reactive opposition.Additional AnswerCurrent, in an A.C. circuit, is opposed by the resistance(R) of that circuit and the reactance (X) of that circuit. Reactance may be 'inductive reactance' (XL) or 'capacitive reactance' (XC) -depending on the nature of the circuit.Inductive reactance is directly proportional to the supply frequency; capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to the supply frequency; resistance is independent of frequency.Impedance (Z) is the vector sum (not algebraic sum) of a circuit's resistance and reactance, and may be considered as the total opposition to the flow of A.C. current.Resistance, reactance, and impedance are each measured in ohms.
Inductive reactance, as well as capacitive reactance, is measured in ohms.
Inductive reactance.
You can write this as a complex number; the resistance is the real part, the reactance is the imaginary part (negative, for a capacitive reactance): 15 + j10 kilohms. ("j" is used instead of "i", to avoid confusion with current, which is symbolized by "i".) This is in rectangular coordinates; with a scientific calculator you can use rectangular --> polar conversion, to get the absolute value and the angle. To get just the absolute value, use Pythagoras' Theorem, which in this case gives about 18 kilohms.You can write this as a complex number; the resistance is the real part, the reactance is the imaginary part (negative, for a capacitive reactance): 15 + j10 kilohms.

The quantity symbol for reactance is X.
The reciprocal of reactance is susceptance, expressed in siemens.
The symbol for inductive reactance is XL.
It doesn't. the impedance of the inductor will, following the rule j*w*l, where l is inductance, w is frequency in radians and j is the imaginary number designating this a reactance, not resistance.
for inductor, reactance XL = 2*pi* f *L, if frequency doubles then reactance increase. But for capacitor, reactance Xc = 1/(2*pi*f*C). In this case if frequency doubles the reactance decrease.
The overall reactance of the armature winding is the sum of its leakage reactance plus fictitious reactance, which is known as synchronous reactance (Xs).Xs=XL+Xarwhere XL and Xar are in Ω/phase. Therefore, Xs is in Ω/phase.The impedance of armature winding is obtained by combining its resistance and its synchronous reactance.
Inductive reactance does NOT have it own sign or symbol. Rather, it uses Ohms as a quantifier. But Capacitive reactance ALSO uses Ohms as a quantifier. Fortunately, 1 Ohm of Inductive reactance is cancelled by 1 Ohm of Capacitive reactance at the same frequency of measurement.
