'Reactance' is the name given to the opposition to the flow of alternating current, due to the inductance of a load and the frequency of the supply voltage. It is measured in ohms.

Conclusion for capacitance and capacitive reactance?

Capacitance is the capacity to store electric charges, usually a small amount of it, in a capacitor.Capacitive reactance is the reactance associated with a capacitor. Reactance is something that opposes the flow of current, in an AC circuit - but, unlike resistance, DOES NOT convert electrical energy into heat.
