Answer 2

Answer:

Resistance offered by the capacitor.

Explanation:

Capacitive Reactance:

Capacitive reactance can be defined as the resistance offered by a capacitor in an electrical circuit. Capacitors are the electrical component which when connected to the electrical circuit it offers resistance to the current of the circuit and some amount of voltage drop across it.

Capacitive reactance can be give as,

$X_c\ =\ \dfrac{1}{j.\omega.C}$

where, $X_c\ =\ capacitive\ reactance$

            $\omega\ =\ angular\ frequency$

                  C = capacitance
