### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Capacitive Reactance**: - Capacitive reactance is defined as the opposition that a capacitor offers to the flow of alternating current (AC) in an electrical circuit. This opposition is not due to resistance but is a result of the capacitor's ability to store and release energy in the form of an electric field. 2. **Mathematical Expression**: - The capacitive reactance (denoted as \(X_c\)) can be mathematically expressed as: \[ ...
