AC circuits can possess characteristics of resistance, inductance, and capacitance. In terms of units of measure, how is the capacitive reactance of the circuit expressed?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — ohms
Capacitive reactance represents the opposition offered by a capacitor to alternating current, expressed fundamentally in ohms. It varies inversely with system frequency and capacitance value, directly dictating AC circuit impedance characteristics alongside resistance and inductive reactance.
