Reactancesee under impedance. Source: http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/teach_res/db/elgloss.htm | ||
ResonanceThis is what happens when inductive reactance and Capacitive reactance cancel each other out because they are the same as each other. | ||
ResonanceA series circuit is said to be at resonance when inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are the same. This is when a series circuit will have the lowest impedance. | ||
Resultant CurrentThe sharing of current between different components in an AC circuit | |||
RMSThe square root of two, divided by two. | ||
