English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrical Engineering
DEF

The [amount of] opposition created by a capacitor to the flow of alternating current ....

OBS

Capacitive reactance is measured in ohms and its value is inversely proportional to the capacitor's capacitance (in farads) multiplied by 6.28 times the frequency of the alternating current: Xc = 1/(6.28fC).

OBS

Pure capacitive reactance in a circuit causes the current to lead the voltage by 90 degrees.

OBS

Xc is the symbol for capacitive reactance: capital "X" is usually shown in italics and "c" is in lower case Roman and shown as a subscript.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électrotechnique
DEF

Réactance opposée par une capacité au passage du courant alternatif.

OBS

La capacitance, exprimée en ohms, a pour valeur 1/(6,28fC), f étant la fréquence du courant et C la capacité du condensateur exprimée en farads.

OBS

Dans la formule ci-dessus, on a utilisé l'expression 2 pi (lettre grecque) à la place de 6,28.

OBS

Xc n'est pas utilisé dans les textes français, mais son emploi dans un texte traduit ne présente aucune difficulté; en français on utilise plutôt le symbole « C (suivi d'oméga minuscule)» pour désigner la capacitance.

OBS

La capacitance dans un circuit produit un déphasage tel que le courant est en avance de 90 degrés sur la tension.
