Inductive reactance does NOT have it own sign or symbol. Rather, it uses Ohms as a quantifier. But Capacitive reactance ALSO uses Ohms as a quantifier. Fortunately, 1 Ohm of Inductive reactance is cancelled by 1 Ohm of Capacitive reactance at the same frequency of measurement.
Susceptance is the reciprocal of reactance, and is expressed in siemens (symbol: S). So, inductive susceptanceis the reciprocal of inductive reactance, and capacitive susceptance is the reciprocal of capacitive reactance.
Inductive reactance.
It isn't necessarily so. The capacitive voltage is the product of the current and capacitive reactance, while the inductive voltage is the product of the current and the inductive reactance. So it depends whether the capacitive reactance is greater or smaller than the inductive reactance!
Yes. Inductive and capacitive reactance is measured in ohms, and it is entirely possible for reactance to be greater than 1,000, or even 1,000,000, ohms. It all depends on frequency.
The resistance of an a.c. load is called 'resistance' (R). Resistance is not affected by frequency, only by the cross-sectional area, length, and resistivity of the conductor. Having said that, because of the skin effect, which causes an a.c. current to flow closer to the surface of the conductor, the effective cross-sectional are is reduced, so the value of a.c resistance is somewhat higher than the d.c. resistance -this difference increases with frequency.The opposition to a.c due to inductive or capacitive loads is called reactance (inductive reactance or capacitive reactance), and the overall opposition to a.c. current is the vector sum of resistance and reactance, and is called impedance. That is:(impedance)2 = (resistance)2 + (reactance)2
The symbol for inductive reactance is XL.

Inductive reactance, as well as capacitive reactance, is measured in ohms.
Inductive reactance is directly proportional to frequency. This means that as the frequency of an AC circuit increases, the inductive reactance also increases. Conversely, as the frequency decreases, the inductive reactance decreases.
Inductive reactance.
The unit of measurement for inductive reactance (XL) is the ohm.
It isn't necessarily so. The capacitive voltage is the product of the current and capacitive reactance, while the inductive voltage is the product of the current and the inductive reactance. So it depends whether the capacitive reactance is greater or smaller than the inductive reactance!
