Capacitive Reactance

The measure of a capacitor's opposition to changes in voltage, affecting AC flow without dissipating energy, inversely proportional to the frequency.

Series Connection

A type of circuit configuration where components are connected end-to-end, and the current flows through one component to get to the next.

Frequency Source

A device or system component that generates a signal of a specific frequency, used in electronic circuits for timing or control purposes.
